01Overview

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is a role-playing video game developed by Atlus. The player takes the role of a male high-school student who joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, or SEES, a group of students investigating the Dark Hour, a time period between one day and the next that few people are aware of. During the Dark Hour, the player enters Tartarus, a large tower containing Shadows, creatures that feed on the minds of humans. To fight the Shadows, each member of SEES is able to summon a Persona, a manifestation of a person's inner self. In addition to the standard elements of role-playing games, Persona 3 includes elements of simulation games. The protagonist progresses day by day through a school year, making friends and forming relationships that improve the strength of his Personas in battle. The story begins when a silent transfer student arrives at Gekkoukan High School and settles into a dormitory on Tatsumi Port Island. The Dark Hour appears at midnight, when most people transform into coffins, and members of SEES summon their Personas with a gun-shaped device known as an Evoker.
