The first is an excellent sense of period. Without giving away anything more about the plot, I will say that it has three main things going for it. And with that, you begin your quest the be a silent protagonist/protector of the Capital. In order to help you with your job, the Herald of Yatagarasu gives you a talking cat companion and a job at the Narumi Detective Agency. After a brief tutorial, you assume the mantle – literally and figuratively – of Devil Summoner, becoming Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th.
