Club Escapade[]

Club Escapade only opens at night and the protagonist requires rank 2 Courage (Ordinary) to enter. The Tower Social Link, Mutatsu, can be found here. In Persona 4, the Investigation Team visits this club during their school trip at Tatsumi Port Island.

In Reload, the club's activities have been expanded to include three new NPCs:

The first is a fortune teller who, for a fee, will read the protagonist's future. A positive reading will affect the next journey into Tartarus but the results of a fortune only last for the day it's received. There are a limited number of readings available in a given month, as it resets with each full moon. The fortune teller cannot predict the future on nights where the moon is full.

A Suspicious Man, also known as The Informant, collects information from various people about interesting sites and forums, then sells the URLs. Buying these URLs and then using them on the computer in the dormitory will have various effects.

Lastly, a man behind the bar sells accessories for exorbitant prices.
