Development

Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei was adapted from Digital Devil Story, a trilogy of science fiction books written by Japanese author Aya Nishitani. Published by Tokuma Shoten, the novels were a major success in Japan. Nishitani and Tokuma Shoten began working to adapt the books into a multimedia series, beginning with an original video animation (OVA), which retold the events of the first novel, and creating a tie-in video game during the OVA's…

The Atlus version was directed by Kouji Okada, while the scenario's original elements were written by Kazunari Suzuki. Sprite and promotional artwork was designed by Esaki Minoru, and the music was composed by Tsukasa Masuko.
