===Shin Megami Tensei if...===
The third Shin Megami Tensei game to actually be released, debuting on the Super Famicom in 1994, ''If...'' is a spin-off game that recycles the engine (and a lot of the art) from SMTII, and revolves around the concept "what if a school full of normal kids was somehow thrown into the Demon Realm?"

Basically, this was the prototype for the Persona series, and also inspired the ''Devil Summoner'' knock-off continuity, basically resulting in both those games being canonical alternate continuities to the core SMT games.

The plot is simple: you start as an ordinary high shool student (you choose the gender and the name, but canonically they're considered to be a girl named Tamaki Uchida) who attends Karukozaka High School. Just as school is about to let out for the day, weirdness happens and all hell breaks loose... literally. The school no longer seems to be on Earth, the halls are crawling with demons and the [[zombie]] remnants of students & staff, and one weird kid called Hazama is sending taunting astral projections to you. It's up to you to gather the few other survivors, band together for defense, form alliances with the less malevolent demons, and figure out ''what the fuck is going on here''.
