Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled teenagers who live a double life as white-collar thieves.

Although they live the usual day-to-day life of a Tokyo High School student - going to class, after-school activities, and part-time jobs - they also go on fantastic adventures by using supernatural powers to penetrate people's hearts.

Its power comes from the Person, the Jungian concept of 'me'. The heroes of the game realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective masks and facing their own selves, the heroes awaken their inner power and use it to help those in need.
