In Persona 3 Portable, you play as a transfer student who arrives at Tatsumi Port Island and discovers the “Dark Hour”—a hidden period of time at midnight that most people don’t know exists. During this hour, normal citizens turn into coffins, while dangerous monsters called Shadows emerge. After awakening to a special power called a Persona, you join the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), a group of high schoolers dedicated to investigating this phenomenon. Your mission is to climb a massive, shifting tower known as Tartarus and defeat the powerful Shadows that appear during the full moon to save humanity from a looming apocalypse. Along the way, the story explores heavy themes of mortality and the importance of finding meaning in the time you have.
