Persona 4: Rise Gaiden
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
In this story-driven adventure, you play as the Protagonist, a high school student mysteriously trapped in the Dream World—a surreal, ever-shifting realm where reality is distorted. Struggling with amnesia, the Protagonist feels isolated, unable to trust even familiar faces like his friends Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko, who also seem affected by this strange place.
The story centers around the Protagonist’s mission to save Rise Kujikawa, who is unaware that her soul is being corrupted by an evil force. As he navigates the dream's bizarre clubs, riddles, and shifting environments, he must confront his deepest fears, question what’s real, and unravel the Dream World's mysteries to free them both.
All game images and animations are presented in Full HD 1920x1080 resolution at 60FPS. H-Scenes offer multiple angles and are carefully crafted to match the game's ambiance.
Our game offers a rare, fully animated experience, bringing each scene to life with fluid motion and dynamic visuals, immersing players in a way few games in this category achieve.
Animated sex scenes can also be found on my Patreon along with extended cuts of these scenes being exclusive to Patrons! Available on X too! Drop a follow.
In this game, every character comes to life with over 60 unique voice lines each, adding depth and personality to each interaction. From casual conversations to intense moments, the diverse sounds enhance the immersive experience, making every dialogue feel dynamic and engaging.
- Inspired by Atlus' Persona 4, my game delivers a narrative-driven experience, blending elements of the Persona series with riveting H-Scenes created through the Renpy Engine and Koikatsu!
- Social links and choices are crucial in this game, as decisions you make will unlock special scenes and dialogue, shaping the story and relationships over time.
- Progress So Far: The current playtime of the game is just over 45 minutes, offering a glimpse into the story with more content and features coming in future updates.
The game will be told across 6 chapters, with the prologue and half of Episode 1 currently released. Future updates will include more sexy animated scenes and CGs, deeper social link interactions, and a gallery in the next update.

Special Tags Notice
Netori will be completely avoidable, while the decision to include Netorase and Netorare will not be present in the game in any form.
I appreciate everyone's input on these tags and I strive to make my game as clear as possible.
Although some of these tags won't be included in the game, I would still appreciate you to try this game out and experience a true Persona game told through Renpy.
It's free either way!
Knowns bugs
- The menu screen that appears during choices can't be hid as of now since I'm still having trouble setting up the screen properly. If you know how to help solve it please DM me!
- Due to character sprites can't be hidden when H is pressed. Since the sprites are cut off, they present an eyesore that I understand may annoy some people. If there's anyone who can help me make sprites hideable I would greatly appreciate it.
- A poll will be conducted on Patreon and on Discord to find solutions to these problems if I can't find the support. This will include completely redoing the dialogue box to accommodate the sprite or replacing the sprite with a Koikatsu version.
- As for the menu screen during choices, it may be completely removed which means another overhaul of the GUI. If that's the case, I'd like help from you all on designs for the new GUI.
- I try to stay faithful to the original Persona 4 games but with my current coding knowledge, I have yet to find solutions to these problems. Support is greatly appreciated!
- Due to the game's immense amount of animated scenes, I recommend not rolling back too quickly, or else the game will crash.

I finally found time to play the full game and I loved it and I'm even happier since you decided not to add anything of netorare and netorase, where you say future tags: blackmail I don't know if you haven't updated the tags or you plan to add a plot for the future (I plan to support the game on patreon in the near future)❤️
Hey it's nice you got around to playing the game! Yea the blackmail is a plot device for something else in the story (not NTR related). Thanks for the support!
Yes this is great even while skipping trough it for a quick taste.
Really love the game. The idea is amazing and I am happy that there are more parodies of the Persona Games. It is really well done. The only mistake I noticed so far is that during the first conversation you have with Yosuke when Yu says "Sounds like your store's diversifying it's stock" is it intended that Yosuke's sprite is on the right side during every text box? it fells a bit weird when Yu says something but it still shows Yosuke. Is it inteded that he stays on screen the entire time? It was a bit confusing during that dialogue.
Hey Fiend! Thanks so much for pointing that out! I'm gonna fix it rn and it'll be updated by Episode 1. Actually, I plan on launching a Discord soon so if you see any other stuff like that please join and let me know!
Is there any plans for an android version?
I’ll see if I can make an android version but if I can’t figure it out, I’ll try again by next update! You should know if android will be present by end of the week
Any custom animations or plans for some? Those can really set your game apart from the rest.
The way I create animations are either using scenes from bepis or from the CharaStudio itself. I'm not so well-versed in making custom animations but when it comes to camera work and tempo for H-scenes I can excel at that!
"Incest content will not be included due to certain rules on Patreon" You do know Loli content isn't allowed either right?
thanks for letting me know. I’ll probably revise that later but I’ll look for workarounds for that tag
I was reading the description and all that and I loved it... until I saw that there was ntr, I don't care about the netori, but I don't know if the ntr is already in the game or you're still thinking about it If the game will have ntr,netorare netorase,even if it is optional, I prefer to avoid the game completely although it caught my attention at first. (Good luck btw)
same problem here
Goddddd I hope it doesn't contain any cheating or things like that :(
Thanks for your insight Rascal! NTR elements aren't present in the current build but I can't compromise on removing Netori altogether. Sorry about that.
wait, the netori is fine, it seems fine to me as long as the protagonist does it to others I'm fine, someone else doing it to the protagonist would be ntr.
as long as the game does not have ntr,netorase I will continue playing until you add ntr, since as a romantic game it promises but with ntr it does not promiseIt doesn't even look innovative with that addition.
(Sorry if I ask a lot, it's because it's Koikatsu's first Persona 4 game and I wouldn't like it to have ntr,netorase,netorare not even as options.)
Hey Rascal, I recently made the decision to not include Netorare or Netorase in the game in any form. However, Netori will still be an avoidable option.
