Special Story Mode

Special Story Mode is a game state during Quests that restricts certain actions of players or changes the behavior of certain mechanics. The Paimon Menu is not accessible while in this mode.
Special Story Mode can sometimes be exited from the top left corner of the screen, similar to exiting Domains, and may reset quest progress.
Returning to the quest after leaving Special Story Mode may give a Story Review to remind the player of the current story details.
