Players experience a full year of high school life through a unique calendar system. Each day offers strategic choices like studying for exams, working at the local shopping district's Junes store, hanging out with friends, exploring supernatural dungeons, or developing personal skills like knowledge and courage.
The turn-based combat centers on "Personas" - supernatural manifestations of characters' inner selves. Players collect mythological-inspired Personas, fusing them to create more powerful beings with unique skill combinations. Battling requires exploiting enemy elemental weaknesses, with successful hits triggering "All-Out Attack" team moves that dramatically damage opponents.

Strengthening these bonds unlocks more powerful Persona fusions and enhances party members' combat abilities. Each relationship follows a unique character arc, revealing personal struggles and psychological depths.
Procedurally generated dungeons challenge players to navigate multiple randomly constructed floors. Each dungeon represents a character's psychological landscape, featuring thematic enemies and environmental challenges.
