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.

Finished implementation of all story pieces, Social Links and boss battles. All that remains is to finish the remaining dungeons design and test the game for bugs.

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.

Yousef, can you change thread title to "fangame is out"? I cannot see "Edit" option anymore.​
