A/N: Now, I didn't want to reveal this in the prologue, because I wanted it to be a surprise, but... Here's the plot.
Your character is living in an asylum.
Though some of your background stories are dependent on it, it's implied that your character was healthy until they moved to Omiya, where our story takes place. For some reason, the people who live there have been developing mental disorders (or in the case that you already had a disorder, it worsened), some more severe than others; the protagonist, and the party are also suffering from their own, and are determined to find out the sudden cause for it.
I wanted to go for a darker story like P3, and really wanted to work mental disorders in there, as I find them interesting. I think that's it, but of course, if you have any questions for me, just shoot me up a message.
Now, let me introduce our characters~ For the most part, the story will be told in Risa's POV, but I'll switch it up every now, and again.
