This unknown time is the "Dark Hour."

Unfamiliar stillness swallows the city,
people turn into eerie coffins,
and otherworldly monsters called Shadows swarm.

One night, the protagonist is attacked by these Shadows.
When all hope seems lost, the power of the heart,
their Persona, is awakened.

The Dark Hour is the time hidden between one day and the next, where monstrous Shadows roam about and the mysterious tower, Tartarus, appears. The city comes to a standstill, and people are transformed into coffin-like forms.

During the Dark Hour, Gekkoukan High School transforms into a looming tower known as Tartarus, which is home to countless Shadows.

Persona is a RPG series set in modern-day Japan that is acclaimed for its narrative style of confronting everyday realities such as forging friendships and romances, alongside supernatural and paranormal themes, including uncovering and solving mysterious rumors and various urban legends. The series typically follows a story that unfolds after a group of teenagers discover their abilities as Persona-users, chronicling the growth of their friendship and inner selves as they confront numerous obstacles. In recent years, the franchise has been adapted to animated TV series, animated films, music concerts, theatrical stages, manga, and continues to expand its influence. “Persona” refers to the alternate persona that lies within you—another “you” who materializes themselves in form of mythical deities and demons possessing great power.
