Parent Pro-Tip
Parents should be aware of the game's mature content, including violence and dark themes, and consider if it's appropriate for their child's age and sensitivity. However, for older teens, it offers a rich, thought-provoking narrative and strong cognitive benefits without the manipulative design often found in modern games.

About this game
In the near future, a mysterious, growing, black void appears at the Earth's southern pole. Unable to determine its cause and powerless to stop its deadly encroachment, humanity sends an elite team of explorers into the heart of the phenomenon, just as Strange Journey's look and feel represent a return to the heart of Shin Megami Tensei®, bringing to mind the all-time classic Nocturne.
