There is a hidden hour that exists between one day and the next when terrible creatures known as Shadows roam. You must wield your inner power–Persona–to protect humanity and find a way to bring an end to this threat.

Experience the iconic, critically acclaimed RPG that reinvented the Persona series, Persona 3 Portable, now newly remastered for modern platforms. Shortly after transferring to Gekkoukan High School, the protagonist encounters the "Dark Hour."
