From what I can tell, it seems to be so with the first DS game in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise (I had almost all the characters alive, but then I had to forget about one of them and he died). Not sure with the second DS game (though I haven't finished it yet). Or Strange Journey, for that matter (I swear, staying Neutral is harder than I thought).
Anyway
I SEE CASTLEVANIA REFERENCES (in the screenshots)
