In the year 19XX, the city of [[Tokyo]] was devastated by ICBMs launched by [[Ambassador Thorman]]. The city was almost destroyed, but the people of Tokyo quickly took refuge in underground shelters spread throughout the city. The city's surface, now infested with [[Demon]]s, was ravaged by chaos, while the people in the shelters lived peacefully, as they were protected from demon attacks by [[Devil Busters (Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelation)|the Devil Busters organization]].

[[Ayato Katsuragi]], a resident of [[Hatsudai Shelter]], strives to become a Devil Buster alongside his friend [[Yuuka Tachibana]]. His other friends, including [[Emi Kirishima]], her dog [[Newton]], [[Tatsuya Hayasaka]] and [[Isamu Yamase]] are also Devil Busters. They are part of the 2nd Unit led by [[Yoshio Nishino]], who acts as a father figure to Ayato. After enlisting to the Devil Busters, Ayato strives to protect the shelter alongside his friends.  

One day, the shelter is suddenly attacked by [[Murmur]], a Demon previously responsible for attacks on [[Harajuku Shelter]] and other shelters throughout Tokyo. Isamu is asked with evacuating citizens out of the shelter to safety by Yoshio, while he, Ayato and the others try to defeat Murmur. After cornering them inside of the shelter's control room, Ayato and the others try to fight Murmur, but fail to defeat them. After some time, more demons arrive to overwhelm the group, including [[Ipos]], [[Lamashtu]], [[Asherah]], [[Astarte]], [[Abaddon]], [[Leraje]] and [[Decarabia]]. The horde of demons proceeds to brutally kill and dismember one of Ayato’s friends and devour his body, leaving only his head.

Soon after Ayato and his allies flee the shelter, the group is approached by a truck driven by two men, [[Tetsuya Sonoda]] and [[Kouki Kamikawa]]. The two men are part of a resistance group named [[Pentagramma]], and ask Ayato and his allies to join their group and help defeat the demon [[Bael]], who has been ruling over Tokyo since the bombs fell. After accepting their offer and joining Pentagramma, Ayato’s journey to save Tokyo and revive his lost friend begins.

A novelized version of the introduction was published in TRPG’s LOGOUT December 1995 issue. Some of the character names were altered from the novelization to the final release of the game.

*A fan remake of the game was in development between the year 2003 and 2012. Their goal was to get the rights to the game for a limited partnership, but it was cancelled for unknown reasons.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|author=|url=[http://dds414.fc2web.com/dds/about.htm]|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20121213165459/http://dds414.fc2web.com/dds/about.htm|published=|retrieved=|site=|type=}}</ref> However, the group did publish a patch for the Windows release of the game that fixes the Active Time Battle system to be compatible with the high CPU clock speeds of modern hardware.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=|author=|url=[http://u4.getuploader.com/gdds]|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20121213025517/http://u4.getuploader.com/gdds|published=|retrieved=|site=|type=}}</ref>
