Persona 3 Portable is a stylish RPG that marries the rhythms of a high school simulator with the dread of a looming apocalypse. Its turn-based combat, driven by the complex Persona fusion system, demands strategic planning both in and out of battle. The game's haunting narrative, deepened by its calendar system and social links, creates a sense of urgency and connection that lingers long after the credits roll.

About Persona 3 Portable

Details
Every night when the clock strikes midnight, a phenomenon called "The Dark Hour" occurs. During this "hidden" hour of the day, normal humans are transmogrified into coffin-like objects, unaware of the world around them. What's more, evil creatures called Shadows appear to prey on the minds of humans, inflicting a zombie-like condition commonly known as Apathy Syndrome. You are a New Transfer Student moving to Tatsumi Port Island to attend Gekkoukan High School. Soon after settling into your new dormitory, you are discovered to have "the potential": the ability to remain as a human within the Dark Hour, and to fight the Shadows with a mysterious inner-power called "Persona". Recruited into the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), a secret student society dedicated to fighting the Shadows, you now have to balance your school life, your social life and your new demon-hunting life.
