Tatsumi Port Island: a small island connected to the coast of Japan. The island is peaceful enough, the various buildings suitable for a small town-like atmosphere, most of them run by the Kirijo Corporation. It contains a full set of public schools, a university, a mall, and train stations to take people to and from the mainland. It is the ideal place to live, except for one thing:
The Dark Hour.
Every night at midnight, the world freezes for an hour, as if time itself has stopped. The sky turns green, electronics fail to work, and people are transmogrified into coffins, unaware of this twenty-fifth hour, and unharmed. It is the hour where darkness creeps around in forms only imaginable by twisted minds, looking for those poor souls who did not change safely and were aware, to consume their minds and leave their hollow bodies for the world to find the next day. Their nest is the high school, which undergoes a horrifying transformation during the Dark Hour, changing from a simple house of education to a twisted tour of evil, only called Tartarus. Even if people were conscious during this time, they wouldn’t dare to travel into the lair of the shadows, for it would take some sort of supernatural power to survive, much less deal damage to the darkness.
Scientists, unknowing of the shadows that feasted on the souls, labeled the victims of shadows, those poor unfortunate empty people, as The Lost, and their affliction as Apathy Syndrome. How to cure it, and even its cause, is completely unknown to almost all of mankind. There are a few unique individuals who are awake during the Dark Hour, who know of the shadows that lurk in it, and who have the special ability to fight them: the gift of Persona.
Now, you have the gift, the awareness of what happens during this twenty-fifth hour, this accursed time. What will you do? Will you use your gift to strike down the monsters, those that prey on the human psyche? Will you abuse your power, taking advantage of this time outside of time to do what you want? The choice is in your hands... all that is to be said is be wary of the full moon...
