The premise, in the publisher's words

The game follows the manga's story. You start as Akira Fudo the boy who has the ability to change into Devilman. You wander around the town going into houses and talking to the people you find. When you find your friend Ryo he transports you to a basement room where you change into Devilman and battle on-coming hordes of girls who transform into demons. If you manage to survive you return to the town. Now in between talking to the inhabitants you can increase your energy bar by defeating the monsters that roam around outside. You can change into Devilman and back by pressing select and choosing to change up or down. Defeating monsters as Akira gives you more power when you are Devilman…
