The assault awakens his Persona, Orpheus, his only chance at defeating this creature of the night. He learns of the Dark Hour, a hidden time that exists between one day and the next, swarming with Shadows that have been slowly claiming victims known as The Lost poor souls who have inexplicably been turned into walking zombies. Under the supervision of school chairman Shuji Ikutsuki, he joins his new friends in confronting this evil threat.<br />

To fight the Shadows, each member of SEES is able to summon a Persona, a manifestation of a person's inner self.

To fight the Shadows, each member of SEES is able to summon a Persona, a manifestation of a person's inner self.
