OMSI to host viewing party for total solar eclipse

New Persona 5 Gameplay Trailer Teaches Creation Through Destruction
- February 22, 2017
The mysterious bald-headed Igor makes a return, along with two new assistants, the twins Caroline and Justine. At least there doesn't seem to be any harsh feelings from the fused Persona .
