But a grisly chain of murders seem to be connected to the rumor, and you must gather a team strong enough to brave the bizarre world inside the TV to solve this mystery!

Inaba—a quiet town in rural Japan sets the scene for budding adolescence in Persona 4 Golden.


A coming of age story that sets the protagonist and his friends on a journey kickstarted by a chain of serial murders. Explore meeting kindred spirits, feelings of belonging, and even confronting the darker sides of one’s self.

They say your soulmate will appear if you stare into a television set on a rainy night…


This strange rumor slowly spreads through the rural town of Inaba, the protagonist’s new home, just as a chain of mysterious murders begin. As the protagonist and his teammates chase after the truth, they find themselves opening the door to another world.
