Okay, apologies if you HAVE played Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue, but it's pretty awesome, right? This is a short, free-to-play SMT search action ("MetroidVania") title that Atlus and Ladybug put out to advertise Deep Strange Journey in Japan (Strange Journey Redux in the west) and it's...well...kind of amazing and I wanted to talk about it!
