History VideoGame / DigimonSurvive

''Digimon Survive'' is a ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' StrategyRPG game for all eighth-generation platforms, developed by the companies Witchcraft and Hyde, with music composed by Tomoki Miyoshi of ''VideoGame/IAmSetsuna'' fame, and published by Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment.

* KarmaMeter: The game's karma system is split into three categories corresponding to the Digimon TacticalRockPaperScissors system: Harmony, Moral, and Wrathful. Moral focuses on justice, is denoted by red, and allows access to the [[AlwaysLawfulGood righteous]] Vaccine-type Digimon. Harmony focuses on cooperation, is denoted by a green color, and shares compatibility with the more neutral Data-type Digimon. Wrathful focuses on [[WellIntentionedExtremist achieving the objective no matter what]], is denoted by yellow, and attracts the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil wicked]] Virus-type Digimon.

** The choice for the 8 partner Digimons in this game (Except Agumon) also mirrors the 8 partner Digimons from the original Anime/DigimonAdventure series.
*** Labramon plays counterpart to the canine line of Digimons of Gabumon/Garurumon.
*** Falcomon is to the avian line of Biyomon.
*** Kunemon is to the insect line of Tentomon.
*** Floramon is to the plant line of Palmon.
*** Syakomon is to the aquatic line of Gomamon.
*** Lopmon is to the Gatomon line, both of which can digivolve into Holy type Digimons.
*** Dracmon is an interesting one. It actually contrasts its counterpart Patamon (Both having bat wing in their designs), but Patamon digivolves into the line of Holy Digimons of Angemon, while Dracmon is known to be a Dark type Digimon.

* MythologyGag: The very idea behind this game is one. The original concept for Digimon in the ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]]'' series -- as told via [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material that had never been localized]] -- is that Digimon have always existed alongside humans, and in the past they were called yokai, spirits, devils, etc. They merely received the name "Digital Monsters" after being acknowledged and observed by humans via modern digital devices. Habu "Habumon" Kazumasa, producer of both ''Cyber Sleuth'' and ''Survive'', is a big fan of this interpretation and has talked about it in interviews, mentioning it as an inspiration for this game.
