Overall good game but so short i can't really say much about it, mostly good ideas but i kind of wish they did more with this, such a cool game that can be finished in just a couple of minutes

Very fun Metroidvania styled game! The sprites are so lovingly crafted and it's a very interesting peak into what culminates as the story for Strange Journey. I will take any Jack Bros content. If you're good at these sorts of games it's quick to get through. The music is fun too, a nice improvement from SJ's music.

Man I wish they made another of these
An excellent metroidvania based on my favorite RPG series
Hee-Ho!

Very cute action-platform adventure game (...what is known as "Metroidvania", yep. Term I'm not very fund of) starring everyone's favourite MegaTen iconic demons.

As fun as Hollow Knight for what I can tell tbh.

I wish there were more games like this and Jack Bros. in the MegaTen world.


short but interesting metroidvania staring the Jack Brothers.

fun fact: this game is a prequel to SMT Strange Journey.

Atlus really needs to get more random teams to make SMT games. Bit short (as are a lot of Team Ladybug games) but the thing is literally free. I still listen to the music sometimes.

Really nice lil prequel game to Strange Journey. wished Atlus could make more Jack Bros spin offs

Super short and super sweet Metroidvania that features amazing boss battles.

I can definitely tell that the Lady Bug Team are Shmups fans; I can see the Ikaruga influence on this one.

Music slaps so hard, if you are a Megaten fan, you'll enjoy the remixes of classic songs.


Wish we got a full game like this, a megaten metroidvania would slap so hard

Maybe the real hee was the ho we made along the way

An adorable and super fun little Megaten title in the style of Castlevania, filled with heartful references to the series
It's small, but was right up my alley, would be really down if they made a full game like this someday

Good music, good gameplay, good graphics, short but sweet. Overall a nice game.

o jogo mais esquecível da Lady Bug

I liked this little SMT metroidvania. This companies games all look good, but area layouts are a bit uninspired. Good bosses and gameplay helps though.

its the same devs as luna nights and its just as good as luna nights

Amazing free metroidvania that needs its own game ASAP

hee-ho! (this is the pinnacle of gaming, ho!)

Não consegui passar do último boss. Tentarei novamente algum dia

Genuinely surprised that MegaTen hasn't explored as many other genres considering how good this was.

This is like, the only Metroidvania I've ever liked. Can we please get 90 more of these? Thanks.

if this game was a little longer it would be the greatest game of all time yup

A very good Metroidvania, but so short :(

A short love letter to SMT Strange Journey, my favourite from the main saga. I cherished all the little references and details to the main game and enjoyed a lot the high amounts of hee ho

It's a metroidvania. And it's good. Very pretty too.

Um, that's it. Download here: https://archive.org/details/synchronicity-prologue-english-v-1

ngl I hate how most of the discussion of this game is "I wish it was longer" because arbitrarily bloating it out would make it significantly worse


Primeiramente, não joguei nenhum jogo da franquia shin megami tensei e esse foi meu primeiro título que zerei.
Segundamente, esse foi meu primeiro metroidvania que zerei e gostei, e o jogo é bem fácil, tipo os chefes não senti muita dificuldade em derrotar, porém não por isso que o jogo é ruim, pelo contrário ele é muito bom, a pixel art é linda, a trilha sonora não é memorável, porém é bom e os poderes que você ganha durante o jogo são legais.

Actually just a legit really good metroidvania. And you get to play as Jack Frost, who is a very funny guy. I like Jack Frost.

Um jogo muito divertido, de fato, mas bem curto, eu queria que durasse mais

to be honest i never touched strange journey for more than a half hour, i picked it up during a couple years ago when i was heavily stimming on SMT and beat IV and Apocalypse back to back in the span of 2 weeks but by the time i got to strange journey i was like OOOOOOKAY i need to slow my roll now thats too much rpg-ing in a row
then i saw this existed and went "???" saw it was a metroidvania and figured 'oh its probably going to kick my ass.. ill probably not like it much'
but i downloaded it...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND its good! Really I encourage Atlus to fuck around with genres like this more

Normally I think its hard to stomach a lot of metroidvanias because I actually suck really hard at them, like All of them. But this one's short length and simplicity actually stuck with me! The sprite art is nice, swappping between jack frost and pyro jack is fun and the bosses are dope too :) !!
I love these little dorks & I kinda wish there was a way to directly tell atlus/sega that more things experimenting with smt would be cool, give us something like Maken X again
or a rhythm game
would it make sense? idk! Who Care!
