* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''VideoGame/PharaohRebirth'', a game that came out one year before and was made by Krobon by himself before entering Team Ladybug. Separated but interconnected levels? Check. Four pieces of an artifact(s) hidden in each of those levels? Check. Gameplay that lets you switch between two characters? Check. Humanoid animals and goofy-looking mythical creatures that are nevertheless quite dangerous? Check. Pyro Jack's charge attack is also similar to Andre's charged attack from the above mentioned game.

''Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue'' is a {{Metroidvania}} platformer fangame produced by Creator/TeamLadybug, but was given official support by Atlus to help promote [[VideoGameRemake the updated version]] of ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney Strange Journey]]''. You have somehow acquired a 'Synchronicity' program and activate it. After a nasty glitch, you take control of a [[MascotMook Jack Frost]] near a research station in Antarctica.

Unfortunately, the game was made available [[NoExportForYou only in Japan]], from October 2017 to December of the same year. [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes However, fans are still distributing the game around]], together with [[FanTranslation an english translation patch]].

* CallForward: A minor one happens during the Carina shopping area, where you can find a second Jack Frost in hiding, saddened that Black Frost killed his family and friends, and looking for a Frost Vest to protect himself and seek revenge. This is the same Jack Frost who the protagonist of Strange Journey can find in the same sector, still searching for the same piece of armor. Fans remember him best for being the source of a DiskOneNuke by trading said vest with him.

For example, the broken terminal screen at the starting point confirms that the wreckage at the background is from [[spoiler:one of the Advance Research Teams mentioned in the main game, sent to Antarctica to study the appearance and expansion of the Schwarzwelt.]]
** While the Synchronicity program uses a different mechanic, all messages regarding it, mainly the final one, confirm that [[spoiler:it is a prototype software to the Demon Summoning Program, made to stress-test how much can human souls interact with demons.]]
