The developer and publisher of the post-apocalyptic role-playing series Shin Megami Tensei, Atlus, has released a free sidescrolling adventure after teasing the .

Atlus announced the game, Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue, on its Japanese blog (via Gematsu) following a trailer last week for the 3DS game Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. That initial trailer called the sidescroller fake, but apparently the game is real — at least for a limited time.

Check out screenshots from the original Japanese trailer below.

Prologue, which stars Jack Frost and Jack O'Lantern, has been made available as a free download for PC and will be downloadable until December 24. Players control the two characters, using powers of fire and ice to navigate areas inspired by Strange Journey Redux. It is currently only available for PC players and in Japanese.
