JRPG/visual novel hybrid where you investigate murders in a small Japanese town while balancing school life and dungeon crawling. The core loop alternates between building relationships with locals during the day and entering a TV world at night to fight Shadows—hostile entities tied to the killings. Combat uses a turn-based system built around Personas, manifestations of your inner self that grant different abilities. Murders occur during foggy weather, and a rumored midnight TV channel broadcasting strange images on rainy nights connects to the mystery. Time management matters: you've got limited days to strengthen social bonds, which directly power up your Personas for battles. The rural setting of Inaba contrasts with dungeon environments pulled from victims' psyches. Suits players who want detective work and character drama alongside their monster fights.
