The party enters the movie reality to save Hikari from Doe.Īs the party explores the labyrinth, which appears as a cheerful, yet highly unsettling fairytale landscape, they encounter musical-like stages each of them representing a personal trauma that Hikari experienced in the past, starting from primary school to her eventual breakdown. A message at the end states that Hikari has decided to discard her self to become "normal," and the movie's name is obscured by black scribbles. They repeat the messages of individuality being useless, everyone doing the same thing means it cannot be wrong, and authority is justice. Its trailer displays a suspiciously cheery and whimsical fairy tale landscape, with a forlorn Hikari being surrounded by three copies of her past selves.

Upon returning, Doe grants them a key to unlock one of the four locks on the theater's front gate.Īfter completing A.I.G.I.S, Doe supposedly kidnaps Hikari, causing panic in the Cinema, and both are confirmed to be inside the fourth movie. The party's goal is to derail each movie's distorted moral codes by giving them happy endings while Hikari and Nagi watch. Velvet Room attendants from other timelines- Elizabeth, Margaret, and Theodore-join Caroline and Justine in assisting the party. All of them land in the movie world after routine trips to the collective unconsciousness, namely the Velvet Room, Midnight Channel, and Tartarus. Throughout the game, the Phantom Thieves are joined by Persona users from different timelines: the P3P heroine in Kamoshidaman the Investigation Team in Junessic Land SEES in A.I.G.I.S. Each movie revolves around a moral centered on discarding individuality and becoming one with others. With no other way forward, the team investigates each labyrinth after rescuing Haru and Makoto. They are locked in the theater just like the Thieves and cannot leave. Nagi is the curator of the Cinema, and claims all of her customers aside from Hikari suddenly vanished. They find a woman in white, who introduces herself as Nagi, and a shy schoolgirl named Hikari. Morgana then notices figures standing up from the theater's seats, and tells the party to investigate.

It does not talk and does not interact with them, standing completely still. Though the Cinema seems deserted, the party quickly notices that a strange, black creature is in the projection room. They also find locks on the front doors, barring their escape. Unfortunately, they soon find that Haru and Makoto were left behind. To make matters worse, a large Shadow resembling an obese man in a superhero chicken costume appears and pursues them, forcing them to escape via a movie screen into a Cinema. It's soon revealed that their guns do not work in this reality. They try and ask the city's police for directions, only to be attacked by strange Shadows. The Thieves quickly find themselves in a city where they're still wearing their thief outfits, and the Metaverse Navigator has stopped working.
