Persona 5 Royal

by Atlus

Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts — a group of high school students who discover the Metaverse, a cognitive realm where the distorted desires of corrupt adults manifest as twisted Palaces. By stealing the treasure at each Palace's core, they force a change of heart in the real world. Blending dungeon-crawling, social simulation, and a deeply stylish aesthetic of rebellion, P5R asks what it means to fight a rigged system when the world would rather you stay quiet.
