Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is a 2009 role-playing game for the Nintendo DS, and the sixth entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series. It was co-developed by Atlus and Lancarse, published by Atlus, and released on October 8, 2009 in Japan, and on March 23, 2010 in North America.
After a scientific research team at the south pole reports the appearance of a giant black void and then goes missing, an Intergovernmental Body sends a team to enter the void, dubbed the Schwarzwelt. The Schwarzwelt is predicted to expand continously and consume the whole world, unless the protagonist and their team can successfully infiltrate it and discover how to neutralize it.[1] After a blast crashes their ship into the void, they find the Schwarzwelt to be a setting infested with demons.
Strange Journey is a "side-story" in the Shin Megami Tensei series,[a] but is still officially considered to be part of the mainline series as it shared the same developmental staff.[2][3]
A remake of the game containing additional content and story changes, titled Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, was released for the Nintendo 3DS.

Notes
- ↑ The specific word used in Japanese is "gaiden" (外伝), which can also translate to "spin-off."

- ↑ "Zelenin: The Schwarzwelt is a natural phenomenon that arose in the South Pole some months ago. But this phenomenon is one of a kind. We have nothing of it's like to compare it to. You may have heard false reports that it is a blizzard, but in truth...It is an unknown spatial anomaly that destroys and absorbs it's surroundings as it enlarges. When it first appeared, it was a cylinder only one meter in diameter that stretched to the sky. Since then, it has spread radially, swallowing surrounding observation bases and any investigators whole. Today, it occupies a sizable footprint with a radius of several hundred kilometers. As we speak the Schwarzwelt continues to expand...If we cannot engineer a reversal of the process, then it will inevitably swallow the Earth." Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (Nintendo DS).

- ↑ "『真SJ』は『真if』と同じように「シリーズ外伝」と区分けされていますが、 例えば低年齢層向けに作られた『真・女神転生デビルチルドレン』ほど離れた世界観ではありません。 悪魔と人間の関係性などを見ていけば、《ペルソナ》 シリーズの各作品と比べても明らかに本編に近い世界観の下制作されていることがわかります。 外伝とはいってもナンバリング作と共通するスタッフによって作られているのだからそれも当然と言えますが、 『真SJ』は表面的な違いが目立って見えたとしても、実際に遊んでみれば本流に含まれる作品と変わらないことが感覚的にわかることから「シリーズ25周年」の歴史に含まれる作品と位置づけられています。" 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. Japanese. p. 122.
