Atlus made this Jack Bros.-esque, Metroidvania looking SMT game to promote SMT: Strange Journey Redux's release in Japan.

But this fake game looks cooler, tbh. Almost feel like it looks way too detailed and real to be fake, but the trailer makes sure to let it be known that it's a fake.

Linkstrikesback · Oct 13, 2017

... I want that Jack frost metroidvania now.

BBWCongaLine · Oct 13, 2017

As I wait for there to be a double twist and this is actually a minigame in the game

Aters · Oct 13, 2017

Jake bros. I think we all know what the next Atlus x Nintendo crossover gonna be.

Dascu · Oct 13, 2017

This looks pretty damn detailed and polished in the gameplay footage... Maybe a real product?

SoilBreak · Oct 13, 2017

Now i want it.

KharmaPolice · Oct 13, 2017

Is this by the same guy who made the Konosuba sidescrolling game? The style looks remarkably similar.

Verder · Oct 13, 2017

okay what the fuck atlus

this looks too good

Martylepiaf · Oct 13, 2017

It look way too cool to be a fake, that's evil

HotHamBoy · Oct 13, 2017

Jack Bros for Smash 5 please

Dark_castle · Oct 13, 2017

Why is that not a real thing?

Eolz · Oct 13, 2017

I want it now!
Hee-ho

Would buy the SJ remaster in a heartbeat if that's the case.

MudoSkills · Oct 13, 2017

Do we know that it's fake? Somebody translate!

They flashed up a price and that came up again at the end of the trailer. Could be an e-shop title?

Indelible · Oct 13, 2017

Put this on Steam please.

HotHamBoy · Oct 13, 2017

Why they do this?

What the fuck wrong with them?

Can I hold out hope that this is a prank-within-a-prank and maybe they're just gauging interest on how much more they want to put into it?

Tart Toter 9k · Oct 13, 2017

This looks awesome! i'd love for this to be real!
We need more

real

metroidvania's with RPG elements!

Atlus Japan hates pc's so that'll likely never happen...

Yohane · Oct 13, 2017

Holy Shit. Make it Real Atlus.

FataIChoice · Oct 13, 2017

Please be real

Strings · Oct 13, 2017

How bizarre

KharmaPolice said:

Yeah, I got the same vibe. Iunno, this probably ends up being a real, small game - otherwise, why put thought into game mechanics like melting the ice etc for a trailer?

PhantomThief · Oct 13, 2017

Aww cmon now

StrikeFirst117 · Oct 13, 2017

I want this so badly, what was with the price noted at the end on a trailer for a fake game though?

Shifty · Oct 13, 2017

I'd play the hell outta that. Atlus please.

Toadthemushroom · Oct 13, 2017

Would be neat if this were Atlus' first Switch game. Imagine if it had local co-op.

HotHamBoy · Oct 13, 2017

Watching the video it really seems like there's too many mechanics on display for it to just be a toss-away gag and it's even weirder to go through all that effort just to outright tell you it's fake in the same video. It would make more sense to show all of that if they wanted you believing it was real.

Like, save it for April Fools Day or something?

If was real it would obviously be a 3DS game because it's a tie-in with another 3DS game.

Jakten · Oct 13, 2017

This looks like it might have been made by Krobon Station (Pharaoh Rebirth+) I actually really hope this is real even if it's just a short game.

deim0s · Oct 13, 2017

Want.

Make it so Atlus!

i loved this game, hope they'll make something official out of it!

Syril · Oct 13, 2017

That's clearly made by Krobon Station. It has the exact same style as Pharaoh Rebirth+.

That game looks sweet.

And now I have something to add to my Steam wishlist.

Deep strange journey is a real game getting a 3ds remake, the jack frost bros bit in the middle of the trailer is fake, ...unless they're pulling a fast one.

Heartskips · Oct 13, 2017

I'm day 1 for Jack Bros Metroidvania, especially with that Alice boss battle. Please be real.

Good that now I at least know about this Pharaoh Rebirth game.

Footage of the game appears at 0:25 and ends at 1:03 with a big red stamp stating its fake.

Minyobi · Oct 13, 2017

I'd happily take that game over Strange Journey, and I have no issue with Strange Journey.

2+2=5 · Oct 13, 2017

I'm 1000% sure it's real, i dunno if as standalone game or as minigame but i'm sure it's real.
It already happened that a game shown as a prank became real, this is definitively the case, it looks too well made to be just a prank.

Sorry i'm not into the series, is the blonde girl a known character? If not that's another evidence that this is a new game.

LewieP · Oct 13, 2017

I don't for a second believe that they are not going to release this.

Philippo · Oct 13, 2017

This is actually a teaser.

It's Alice. She's a recurring demon in the series, all the characters in the video are.

Egida · Oct 13, 2017

Oh my God yes, please make it real. Make a kickstarter if needed, I'll throw much gold at it!
And please include this guy:

This totally flew under my radar! Gonna buy it

OK, thanks, i'm still 1000% convinced this is a real game though.

The blonde girl is Alice (based on Lewis Carroll's Alice and Scandivanian folklore). One of the more known Demon in the series.

'Would you die for me ?'

Chie Satonaka · Oct 13, 2017

I mean, I would buy this immediately if it were real.

So it should be real.

Spieler Eins · Oct 13, 2017

Great joke.

duckroll · Oct 13, 2017

Would pay full price for the fake game. Less keen on the Strange Journey remake.

Joey Ravn · Oct 13, 2017

Alternative title: "ATLUS plunges its fist through your chest, removes your heart and eats it while you watch."

That fake game looked amazing :'(

Surfside · Oct 13, 2017

Well there can never be enough metroidvanias. And an SMT themed one would be pretty swell.

_Ryo_ · Oct 13, 2017

I'd rather play the platformer. Keep the alignment endings though.

Chaos ending. Jack melts and his snow covers the entire world and a new ice age begins.

marmoka · Oct 13, 2017

The world needs this game to be a thing.

I hope it's a hint for a new game in development.
