The Unofficial Persona 5 Phan-Game (UP5P) is a short game, taking around 30 minutes to complete. It’s pretty small in scale; you can play solo or co-op with a friend, and it’s only played using a few decks of cards and some tokens. You get to choose one Phantom Thief to play as (even Akechi makes the roster), and then in very Persona fashion you have to make some hard choices, because each turn—represented by a day of the month—you can only do one thing. Players can go recruit confidants (like Shinya, Miishima and Iwai) to gain perks, go to school to increase social stats, explore locations around them or make a run on the palace, defeating shadows in combat and trying to reach the boss. This recreates the exact same stresses as Atlus’ game. How do you best invest the time given to you? If you spend too long getting ready you might not clear the palace in time, but if you rush the palace unprepared you might screw things up. —Description from Luke Plunkett, Kotaku Rules: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-NEmSw3MUyKdrZzekDvAlEKFjnFg3QVi7h1RkTD0RHg Download the Print & Play: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jCD5Qxb9gmIs8nzKJ78qW0N2tzlpKt2Q Find more games by Brother Ming Games here: https://www.brotherminggames.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrotherMingMing
