Goddamn, playable HEE HO game! I'm really enjoying what I'm playing, so much so that I'm a little sad this is just a promo thing and not a full blow SMT Metroidvania style affair with SMT flavor. Later on I'm going to take some screenshots to share with some of my friends.

Awesome, i'm glad it's playable!

If you like it, play Pharaoh Rebirth+ on Steam, by the same developper :

The music is pretty dope. It's a remix of the Strange Journey OST if I'm not mistaken.

All the music is just in regular .ogg files in the data folder as well.

 

[_Ryo_]

Nice! I'm really enjoying it. Feels like a lot of work was put into it.

 

[mickagau33]

I was so excited and ready to go to the jp 3DS Eshop....then read it was PC only. I just have a old Ubuntu Laptop. What a bummer and what a strange way to promote a 3DS game :-(

 

[Grim Patron]

Denuvo?

 

[Joqu]

Gonna download it anyway since it's free but is there a lot of text? You guys think well get an official english release?

You don't need to understand a lick of Japanese to play the whole thing.
It's a platformer with some text during the intro and when characters occasionally talk to each other. No complex menu or dialogue trees.

 

[Golnei]

The crouch animation is adorable.

 

[ResourcefulStar]

Oh my God, the boss fight music is a remix of

Spoiler

the SMT I battle theme

.

Cool. I hope we get a translation of those bits but on that case I'll gladly jump in now.

 

[ZeroX03]

Oh this is actually quite good. And beautiful to boot. I'd love a full version of this.

 

[Viale]

Man, that's awesome that they ended up releasing it. Anyone know the length of it out of curiosity? I'm excited to download it once I get back from work.

 

[Dragon1893]

OMG YES! I always believed that thing was actually playable.

 

[Hylian7]

Yesssssssssss! I'm glad it's real.

Interesting that it's only free til December 24 though...and it says Prologue. I wonder if this will actually be a full game sold at some point. I really hope that's the case.

it''s actually the prologue of SMT HD and at december 24 we'll get a real trailer.... yeah let me dream a little bit!

They already said next info for that is on 10/26, 10 days from now.

 

[Surfside]

If it was a full game, why would they release it only on PC?

 

[Cell_Biology]

Awesome news.

Couldn't get it to run properly on Mac, will try later on Windows.

 

[privitsan02]

If it was a full game, why would they release it only on PC?

A toaster can run it and its free, does it really matter that much?

 

[butman]

Atlus redeemed?

 

[Neoweee]

"Synchronicity: Prologue" ?

Am I missing something about the significance of the term, or might there be an actual SMT: Synchronicity coming?

 

[asagami_]

So, the playable characters are just Jack Frosts? (and Pyro Jack lol)

 

[Shifty]

"Synchronicity: Prologue" ?

Am I missing something about the significance of the term, or might there be an actual SMT: Synchronicity coming?

I figure it's because you're playing as the jack bros 'in sync', but it's a japanese game title. It could mean anything.

 

[ResourcefulStar]

"Synchronicity: Prologue" ?

Am I missing something about the significance of the term, or might there be an actual SMT: Synchronicity coming?

It seems to refer to the tag mechanic that allows you to switch between Jack Frost and Pyro Jack instantly.

 

[Chrono Helix]

I'm having trouble with the controls on my Logitech. Pressing the skill button pauses the game, and after I've acquired my second skill, the skill button only swaps between the available skills.

Having fun with the game though! Just beat the first boss, and he had some neat patterns.

Maybe the soundtrack will be done by The Police.

 

[Naliem]

1 hour in. This is amazing, and the japanese is not too hard to understand if you know some basics.

 

[ladyluthien]

Super awesome. I had a feeling it might have been real, and I am pleased that it is. From the first couple of stages, it's a lot of fun. My only problem, and it's only because I am not used to playing on PC is that my left hand wants to use the keys as directional keys and I keep getting confused.
I don't ever play PC, so I imagine that's why I feel like a dork spending two minutes trying to jump to the next ledge haha.

You can supposedly use a ps4/360 controller for it, so that might be worth looking into.

 

[Gamegeneral]

Oh dang! I hope some fans translate it!

Sweet, I have my PS4 controller close by. I will try that out

Edit: It works! Thanks, so much easier for me.

 

[epmode]

Awesome, i'm glad it's playable!

Confirmed. Pharaoh Rebirth+ is legit.

 

[Elfstar]

So, no english at all?

 

[lestar]

This is a PC test for Atlus

Persona and SMT for PC incoming

 

[sixteen-bit]

Atlus game exclusively on PC, brehs

 

[Father_Brain]

Hope someone translates this ASAP. Looks ace.

 

[Father_Brain]

So, no english at all?

Atlus USA frequently isn't even informed about games from the Japanese parent before they're officially announced. See the bizarre press release they put out for SMT HD in January.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Prologue....TO WHAT THOUGH

Can confirm. (good music)

 

[Viale]

Prologue....TO WHAT THOUGH

Deep Strange Journey most likely.

 

[Barrylocke]

FROST! PYRO! FROST! PYRO! FROST! PYRO!

Anyone else getting Portrait of Ruin flashbacks?

 

[Espada]

FROST! PYRO! FROST! PYRO! FROST! PYRO!

Anyone else getting Portrait of Ruin flashbacks?

Haha, a little bit. Still can't beat that classic Charlotte/Jonathan switch madness.

 

[PhantomThief]

I dont care if its not in english I hope I can progress without reading too much. This game looks dope.

 

[snow in jamaica]

This is fantastic.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Looks a lot like Cave Story. Who do I beg to get the full version on every console because I'd pay for this like 5 times?

 

[Neoweee]

So how is this? Is it like a 1-2 hour prologue of a longer product, or is it a full-fledged game?

 

[Golnei]

This is fantastic.

The game over sprites are really cute as well.

 

[Battlechili]

I want to hope that this is a hint at things to come akin to 8-bit Bayonetta, but I'm probably hoping for too much.

Still cute-looking game either way.

 

[ResourcefulStar]

I'm embarrassed to admit that it too me about 5 tries to figure out how to avoid Decarabia's vertical beam.
