Shin Megami Tensei: Difference between revisions

* [[Metaphysical App]]: Being descended from a [[Licensed Game]] of ''Digital Devil Story'' (see literature) many games in the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' series includes variants of the Demon Summoning Program from the original novel. ''Generally'' safer than Nakajima's original version.

** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'': Stephen was developing software for teleportation through technology, but one of his experiments opened to the Expanse and summoned a demon. After the incident, it inspired him to create a program that allows the user to communicate with, contract, and summon demons as allies. The military and the Ring of Gaea learned of the application. However, Stephen emailed copies of the program to random people in hopes of stopping them. The protagonist got this email and installed it on his COMP.

** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]'' has the Demon Summoning Program that was distributed by an unknown source for the Red Sprite team. Despite the advanced technology of the Schwarzwelt Investigation Team, it couldn't be deciphered or cracked. It was installed into the crew's Demonicas to help the team survive the Schwarzwelt.

** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei IV]]'' and ''Apocalypse'' have the people of Tokyo whose smartphones have the Demon Summoning Program loaded on them for survival in the demon-populated city. The Hunter Association gives a phone equipped with the program to people who become official Hunters.

** ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' is one of the exceptions to the app being safer in adaptions than the original. This version gets widely distributed, forcing Tokyo into a lockdown as demons let loose by inept users and those controlled by criminal gangs overrun the city.

** ''[[Devil Survivor 2]]'' has the Demon Summoning App, where a person can make a contract and summon demons while also giving users magic. There is also the Nicaea β version, which shows a video of a user's death and their friends' demise.

** The Metaverse Navigator or MetaNav, from ''[[Persona 5]]'', is an app given to him by Igor that allows the protagonist to go to the Metaverse. It can also be used by others that the protagonist allies. To use the application, one would need a keyword(s) to enter the Metaverse.

*** From ''Persona 5 Scramble'', EMMA is a general digital assistant that gives answers and solutions to every issue possible with extreme accuracy. It also has a hidden Metaverse Navigator function that can transport unsuspecting people to a Jail (a place similar to Palaces where individuals' hearts are stolen).

** ''[[SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Liberation: Dx2]]'' has Devil Download that mysteriously downloads onto users' phones. It allows them to summon Demons along with other supernatural functions.
