The game maintains the series' signature elements such as turn-based combat, dual-life mechanics, and introduces light social-simulation features and dungeon crawling.
Additional features include a guild system and a PvE mode known as Velvet Trials, alongside some beloved characters from the original Persona 5. The narrative begins with the protagonist awakening from a nightmare to find themselves in a distorted reality, guided by a talking owl named Lefaye and the familiar Velvet Room crew, including the enigmatic long-nosed man and his assistants.
