Atlus Japan always churns out the most innovative games out there. With their well-established Megami Tensei series (which later became Shin Megami Tensei), the company has gained a cult following among RPG fans in Japan, and overseas to a lesser extent. July 2006 gave Atlus mainstream exposure through Persona 3, which introduced fans to a concept that was unheard of prior: the melding of RPG and galge. It has since gone through a sequel and 2 revisions. They also introduced a female character in the PSP version to gain appeal with otome game fans as well.
Tokyo Mono Hara Shi: Karasunomori Gakuen Kitan is Atlus' recent RPG release that borrows a handful of elements from Megami Tensei, Devil Summoner and the Persona series while establishing it's own identity, making it unique but a bit inaccessible at first glance.
