What is Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine
Step into the dark and complex world of "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine," a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by CAVE Interactive Co and GungHo Online Entertainment. In this game, you take on the role of a "Demon Buster," with the power to communicate with demons, contract them as partners, and unleash them in battle.

With a separate translation project in the works, players can immerse themselves fully in this dark and gripping world, without the need for payment or donations.
Experience the thrill of talking to demons, exploring a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, and engaging in battles that will test your skills and strategic thinking. Enter the world of "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine," where the line between good and evil is blurred, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
PRIVATE SERVER SHUTDOWN
The fans of "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine" were thrilled when the ReImagine project brought the game back to life, allowing them to relive its dark and enthralling world once again. Unfortunately, this joy was short-lived, as the project was recently shut down in 2022 due to court summons from Atlus.
Initially released in 2007 in Japan, "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine" failed to gain significant traction on the worldwide stage and ceased operations in the West in 2014. The game continued in Japan for a few more years, but as traditional MMORPGs are costly to run without significant revenue, it too eventually met its end.
The ReImagine project was a beacon of hope for fans who wished to revisit the game's unique world, but its closure underscores the challenges of reviving defunct games without the necessary support from the original developers. Though it is a sad day for fans of the franchise, the memories and experiences they had with "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine" will remain cherished forever.
