The game received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its engaging gameplay, enjoyable characters, and faithfulness to the Persona series. However, some critics noted that the game's story was somewhat lacking and that the gameplay could be repetitive.

The game takes place in a school, where the students from Persona 3 and Persona 4 are transported to a mysterious labyrinth. The story follows the two groups as they work together to uncover the secrets behind the labyrinth and find a way out.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth was released in Japan on June 23, 2013, for the Nintendo 3DS. The game was later released in North America on June 24, 2014, and in Europe on July 4, 2014.
