## Gameplay

### Summer Trip

Although the calendar makes a return in *Strikers*, the time consumption system of mainline *Persona* games is absent: the protagonist's choices during the tour will not pass time, and the group no longer has to work under strict deadlines.

The protagonist can shop from local stores during their travel, with items corresponding to the region they're in. On the other hand, they will have constant access to V's Shop, which builds up on items as the story progresses.

In Jack's Kitchen, the protagonist can cook food that can restore HP and SP in dungeons, and potentially have secondary effects. Each dish requires different ingredients to be made.
