The Missing Chapter in the Persona Series

Over 12 years in the making, the official localization of Innocent Sin provides patient fans with the other side of the Persona 2 arc, a dark adventure about high school students who find their reality being twisted by rumors, and who must draw on their inner strengths, their Personas, to bring back order. Taking advantage of PSP system's 16:9 aspect ratio, higher resolution display, superior audio, and increased horsepower, this remastered version of one of the pinnacles of Atlus' flagship Shin Megami Tensei franchise delivers a sleek new interface, new side quests in the Climax Theater and the player's choice of the fully remixed or original soundtrack.
