This is just Singularity but you already know what happened and everything is just 2x more depressing. Even some of the PT's dialogue just seemed depressing to me this entire jail. I think the explosive shadows and the personas they were made me feel an unsettling feeling. But at the same time you fight a pp in this same depressing jail
@@tidestimes7988 Bro how is it unsettling? If anything they are literally punching bags, y’all are so sensitive and soft af, if THAT’S unsettling to you I don’t think y’all should be playing this game
@@CesspoolOfCringe what's the matter with you? If someone finds it unsettling that's their opinion. The Jail does have a creepy feel to it, if you didn't feel it, good for you, don't tell others how to feel, gtfo
@@CesspoolOfCringe they’re the sensitive ones? you just completely shit on someone for believing a major tone shift in a normally upbeat game is unsettling, because it’s SUPPOSED to be unsettling lmao
i've ranted a bit about this song before, but honestly, this is probably the only "another version" that is almost as good as the original. there will be spoilers onwards with this comment, so be warned about that honestly, its kind of a shame is only plays in one area of the jail and it fits so well too honestly the sort of distorted instruments fit the story of the jail perfectly, in a way it sort of seems like its resembling screaming, which fits with how the monarch viewed the general area this jail takes place in a sory of lab-like place where the people in the surrounding villages were used as test subjects against their will, anyone who went against this practice became a test subject themself and you can tell how terrified the monarch must have been to be a part of this its just so...fitting, both the song and the design of the jail itself honestly this jail was definitely my favourite also because ryuji says the f word
They could have gone more chilling with the design. Maybe a few rooms filled with operating tables either with skeletons missing some parts or stained with blood. Some of the crates that Yusuke points out being vaguely person-sized have some blood leaking out or a few of them open with a pale arm or leg hanging out. Maybe add some stasis tanks with strange mutants in them.
I feel like that would've made the presentation weaker if anything, because the main unsettling part of this jail (to me at least) is that you don't ever find out what happened exactly. Body parts, blood, and stasis tanks would make it sinister of course, but the tape recordings about Ubukata keep things mysterious. Fear of the unknown is one of the most powerful tools.
The most impactful part for me in this jail was the new guard shadow. Constantly dying and reforming, severely disfigured compared to the maya;s in p3. Brainless constructions who’s only attacks are headbutts and self-destruction, like if they had been torn asunder and forcefully formed that way into weapons. And the worse, the broken mask, it’s the only being in the entire series that stay intact with a broken mask. the mask being a representative of its individuality, but also rulers state
i agree, the shadows in this jail really adds to the atmosphere. black blobs that randomly disappear and resurface like ghosts, the black ooze and legion demons pretty much just scream "inhumane experiments"
I didn't get that was supposed to be them being unable to die, I thought the spawning was just being weird. A way to solidify that more, in my opinion, is to have them occasionally groan out "Kill...me..." or something else along the lines of begging for an end, or having them scream before dying.
Nobody is allowed to say P5S has a bad soundtrack anymore This jail's themes are amazing, I wish the regular battle themes didn't interrupt it, now THAT'S how you REALLY sell the sense of dread
STORY SPOILERS! This jail reminded me of the True Lab in undertale, you know experimental shadows and the voice memos left by the director and etc... so depressing
I still remember having that happen to me on my first playthrough, thank God they reccomend you save beforehand so it's not like the bullshit p1 pulls.
@@FungalFury I think it's hard to unintentionally get the bad ending for P5. It's obvious on what choices you're not supposed to pick. The game even gives you a 2nd chance if you do pick the incorrect choice
@@BitchChill yeah well I'm dumb and was really nervous, at least it actually lets you save beforehand, persona 1 only supports one save file and the choices that affect the bad ending take place ten hours of gameplay before the bad ending.
@@BitchChill My friend just unintentionally got the bad ending because he thought he needed to remain honest with Sae. Not a bad theory, but still lead to quite an interesting series of events that I had the pleasure of watching. He had no idea who it was... the look on his face was amazing
Imagine if you got through this dungeon to find out that this was all originally done by the Kirijo Group. Personally, I think that would have been a hell more of a gut punch if I'm honest
@@shadex0437 I think they mean a old experiment done by her grandfather, or maybe even her father in a desperate attempt to understand and fight shadows, with madice having found the research and used it.
In mitsuru's case, its a stain of the past.. And believe me, a good fanfic idea is making Joker massively antagonistic towards Kirijo group (unreasonably so, much to the shock of the rest of the gang, even Akechi is stunned), since idk maybe the dad was one of the "death obsessed madmen" and he neglected joker all his life while being a researcher for the Kirijo group Even after shido is dealt with... One axe has yet to be grinded down, one last grudge to bury forever (but in the ugliest manner possible) Joker makes his way back to Okinawa, and a random lead connects it to Kirijo group. He does his homework , bam he has his target... Joker zips to Iwatodai, (somehow he has his persona powers back) and he's out for blood. The moment they come face to face, Mitsuru understands, horrified at the possible outcome. Sympathising and horrified at his sufferings, Mitsuru tries to assuage that boiling rage.. nope, joker is raging way too hard (at who he thinks is the key to his final grudge) By circumstance, the rest of the team is also quite close by... Ken and koro rush to mitsuru's defense, soon to be joined by the rest of the gang. They think one goofy looking rogue persona user is nothing much (big mistake) Joker is handing the SEES team their asses on a 10 course platinum platter (he has his all negating yoshi aming other maxed out personas) and the gang is terrified Akechi of all people is there, makoto and haru behind him, and they are the ones to calm down and see reason.. Joker is out for the count, mentally exhausted and Makoto tells mitsuru and the gang about themselves and jokers circumstances... They agree to investigate this mess together, but they are still terrified and worried about joker going loco again. Oh, and joker's dad is the final bonus palace... That nutcase somehow brought tartarus back and is now causing major mayhem.
Tree of Life has more of the Gentle Madman motif in it, with the subtle piano parts, but saying that, this palace really reminded me a lot of *REDACTED*'s palace in Royal (Final palace), with all the voice memos & depressing stories and things
Definitely more freedom and security in mementos for me. The if you don't know where it's from its kinda a bop, but still unnerving. If you do know where it's from then the unnerved feeling can outweigh the latter.
Got super lucky on the first try because my finger was on the gun trigger as soon as I see a question mark on the screen. Those damn ghost shadows explode on you at sight. Or just crash through a window. Those prompts are a lifesaver. Furck this place for real tho 😩😩😩😩
Uh... Honestly I never failed any of them. You can still fight them, and you can activate a battle with a gun attack so there's not really any issue with getting spotted.
@@heehomgee4671 The search lights in Osaka near the end got me the first time but that's it. Even then it was just a matter of loading from a checkpoint and trying just that section again since you're not penalised for using those to save.
Although i liked the dungeon, it did scare me. A dark depressing lap with unknown creatures in it, paired with a mysterious spooky yet groovy sound just made me uncomfortable. Also fuck the fetch quest in there
Haven't played this game yet because I'm waiting on a U.S. release, but I really appreciate you uploading the soundtrack. This one is by far my favorite one. Impeccable track! I can't wait to play this part.
@@xibalbagrim I finished it last month and absolutely loved it! The story and character development was incredible. I freaked out when this track played. lol I enjoyed the theme of the jail!

You know how in Sonic Mania, the final level, the Titanic Monarch Zone, how there are two songs. The first is more "out there" with it's emotion whereas the second feels more "subtle" more "restrained" more "passive" with it. This and the other version is that.

honestly, its kind of a shame is only plays in one area of the jail
and it fits so well too
honestly the sort of distorted instruments fit the story of the jail perfectly, in a way it sort of seems like its resembling screaming, which fits with how the monarch viewed the general area this jail takes place in
a sory of lab-like place where the people in the surrounding villages were used as test subjects against their will, anyone who went against this practice became a test subject themself
and you can tell how terrified the monarch must have been to be a part of this
its just so...fitting, both the song and the design of the jail itself
honestly this jail was definitely my favourite
also because ryuji says the f word
It was a really bold and amazing change of pace, both in tonality, story and design.
They could have gone more chilling with the design. Maybe a few rooms filled with operating tables either with skeletons missing some parts or stained with blood.

This sounds so..... hollow.... love it
And then 1:01 hits...
It gives off that post-apocalyptic vibe or some other end of the world vibe.
They somehow made this track sound even more painful and hopeless.
I love how angsty the music is, perfect for the most terrifying and depressing Jail
2:02 is incredibly unsettling, literally just sounds like a scream echoing through the whole lab
Nobody is allowed to say P5S has a bad soundtrack anymore

My favorite Jail theme so far, it fits so well into this level. I compare this to Gentle Madman in P5R.

This reminds me so much of Out of Kindness which makes sense when regular Singularity reminds me alot of Gentle Madman
2:02 my fav part of the theme
i swear, the side-scrolling parts of the jails fuck me over so much because i keep expecting to hear the main melodies haha
Reach the area without raising an alarm
Took me three tries. Little bitches kept popping up out of nowhere and spotting me
