[h2]Try the Prologue Demo![/h2]
Download and play the free Prologue Demo! The demo allows you to experience the beginning of the game, including exploring the first four dungeons, the ability to unlock seven Archetypes classes, and the opportunity to meet six followers. Best yet, your demo save data carries over to the full version.

All achievement progress from the Prologue Demo will also carry over to the full game if you decides to carry over your demo save data. Achievements are not unlocked immediately when loading save data from the demo, the conditions need to be achieved once more into the full game to get unlocked. For example, one of the achievements is "No Mercy". If you finished 50+ battles with no damage in the demo, then the next time you achieve a no-damage battle in the full product, this achievement will get unlocked.

Achievements with completed progress including story-based achievements will unlock automatically when the next story-based achievement is unlocked.

Building on the foundations of Atlus’ previous works like Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, Metaphor: Refantazio offers a unique experience centred around the rise of a villain who seeks to claim the throne through manipulation while a group of unlikely heroes unites to stop them.

The plot of Metaphor: Refantazio centers around a kingdom in turmoil after the death of its last ruler. At the time of his death, the king enacted a powerful spell to ensure a new ruler would rise to power after a certain period. However, instead of naming his successor, his son—who was presumed dead for years—the spell has a double-edged effect: it grants the throne to whoever holds the most influence and backing at the end of this period. This key factor allows a ruthless villain to exploit the system. With support... Read more
