Some new fans are looking to play the older video games as they wait for the next game. But one TCG collector is hoping to share the forgottenPersonagame with the whole world:Digital Devil Story Trading Card Game.

In a post on the website ResetEra, aPersonafan began to digitize their massive collection ofDigital Devil StoryTCG cards in hopes that the now-defunct TCG can be played by all the newPersonafans. This TCG was printed between 1997 and 2004. While better known for thePersonavideo games and other strange titles likeCatherine,which will soon be coming to the Switch, Atlus was responsible for theDigital Demon TCGalong with Enterbrain and eventually Media Factory.
The user weaK_willO on ResetEra is attempting to digitize their massive collection of more than 20,000 cards and the rules so that new fans can learn to play, and maybe even proxy a deck for themselves. The card series pulls inspiration fromShin Megami Tensei 1,Shin Megami Tensei 2,Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne,Persona 1, andPersona 2, which recently received aweird GameFAQs update nine years later.
In a market already flooded with giants likeMagic: the Gatheringand thePokemon TCG, it’s not a surprise that this eastern-onlyDigital Demongame got lost in the shuffle. But this digitizing labor of love by weaK_willO will most likely be enjoyed byPersonafans all over the world. So while everyone waits for theJoker amiiboand the nextPersonachapter, perhaps they can pick up a deck ofDigital Devil Storycards and bring back a piece of Atlus history that has been long forgotten.
