Shin Megami Tensei if... is a 1994 role-playing game for the Super Famicom, and the third entry in the Template:Serieslink. It was developed and published by Atlus and released on October 28, 1994. A remaster of the game featuring updated graphics was released for the PlayStation on December 26, 2002.
Shin Megami Tensei if... is a "side-story" to the first Template:Gamelink game,[a] but is still officially considered to be part of the mainline series as it shared the same developmental staff.[1] The game was later followed-up with Template:Gamelink, the first game in the Template:Serieslink.
To date, Shin Megami Tensei if... has not seen an official release outside of Japan. The Super Famicom version received a fan translation by the group Aeon Genesis and released on October 25, 2018.
Blurb
"This begins with one young man. Hazama, a handsome boy possessing genius. He never mingled with the ordinary people, and was always alone. He obtained a Demon Summoning Program and soon came to rule the demon world. He then drew the world into the demon world. To start, he dragged Karukozaka High School, the school you attend, into the demon world. You fell into the world. And then, what you saw..."

Notes
- ↑ The specific word used in Japanese is "gaiden" (外伝), which can also translate to "spin-off."
References
- ↑ Translation: "Although "Shin SJ" is classified as a "Gaiden," like "Shin if," it is not as far removed from the world as, for example, "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children," which was created for a younger audience. The relationship between demons and humans is clearly more similar to that of the main series than the other works in the "Persona" series. Although "Shin SJ" is a gaiden, it was created by the same staff as the numbered series, so it is not surprising that it is a gaiden. It is therefore positioned as a work included in the history of the "25th anniversary" of the series." MegaTen Maniacs, Nobuyuki Shioda. Published by Atlus. p. 122.
