Fan Game Working on Paprika x Persona fangame

[Dude3d]

I recently read the novel Paprika and watched the anime adaptation of the same name. I really enjoyed its core concept and how well the novel’s setting aligns with the Megami Tensei series. However, since Paprika places greater emphasis on character development, psychoanalysis, and dream exploration, I found it much more akin to the Persona series than to Devil Summoner or the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games. This inspired me to create a Paprika × Persona crossover game - a hybrid that blends the modern Persona games’ social link system with the older Persona titles’ challenging first-person dungeon crawling with press turn battle system starring Atsuko Chiba as a main character. I prepared a variety of boss battles with peculiar gimmicks. The video and screenshots showcase various aspects of the current stage of development.

I love persona, and I’ve seen paprika a long time ago, this sounds like a great idea, I look forward to seeing more of this.

Here are a few more screenshots from the fan game. On weekdays, Paprika might encounter a mysterious demon trader named Baofu in the Shibuya subway, who offers various treasures in exchange for certain demons.
