storyline (Click to View)

Welcome to Kamihara-cho. A center of technological innovation, offset by the fact that the city is rather out of the way.

The reason for this, however, is rather important. Kamihara contains a government test site for new advancements in radiation, so when they were looking for a place to set the project up, it was too perfect. However, there was one thing they overlooked, but it wasn't something they would've known about.

A bizarre pseudo-supernatural radiation has been located around the general area of Kamihara. Known as "gray noise" amongst the villagers, it is undetectable by normal technological means, and has the odd habit of "leaching" onto people and sapping their positivity, creating monsters known Shadows, who attach to others and continue the process. Although this might seem major, it isn't as widespread as one might think it is. However, the gray noise has been spreading. Suicides in Kamihara have been skyrocketing over the past month, and whispers about the noise are circulating among the elders. "It's resurged..."

---

You've received a text message over the last few days. Says it's advertising some new free program called "MAGATAMA," and it's supposed to protect you against the gray noise. Not thinking much about it, but still a bit superstitious, you downloaded it on a whim. Nothing happened. Oh, well.

A few days later, you see some odd creature out of the corner of your eye. You thought you were just seeing things. That is, until it jumped down in front of your face. Shocked and disturbed, you whipped out your phone and tried to call the police. However, your clumsy fingers pressed the button for MAGATAMA, and before your eyes in a clustering of wave shapes, a humanoid figure appears and drives the beast off. It's a Persona, and your life's about to get much stranger.
