Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is the third installment in the Shin Megami Tensei series, released for the PlayStation 2. The setting features a post-apocalyptic, demon-infested world, which is in the brink of rebirth; called the Conception. It was the first true addition to the main series since the original Super Famicom release of Shin Megami Tensei II nearly a decade prior. Nocturne was highly anticipated and met with good sales upon its release.
