A dungeon-crawling RPG where you fight demons in first-person, turn-based battles. Based on Aya Nishitani's novel, it blends horror with traditional role-playing. You explore labyrinthine dungeons, encountering various demons that you can recruit to your party instead of just defeating them. The demon fusion system lets you combine recruited demons into new, stronger forms—a mechanic that became the series' signature. Combat requires managing your party of humans and demons through strategic turn-based encounters. The game mixes supernatural horror elements with RPG progression, creating something distinct from typical fantasy fare of its era. Dungeon layouts are complex and require careful navigation. If you're curious about where a major RPG franchise began, this is the unpolished but inventive origin point.
