IF YOU REGRET / RESET THE GAME
art by Lyn @jazlyn_jin!
hi! want to experience all the highs and lows of IYR/RTG (IF YOU REGRET / RESET THE GAME) but have no idea where to start or what Lyn and I are even going on about? no problem! here's a starter pack/summary post that'll get you up to speed in no time 💫
the tldr is that it's a roleswap AU where Haru is the protag and Ann is the traitor. the "not long enough; need more context" (doesn't roll off the tongue quite like tldr though) is below the read more!!
NOTE: this AU contains spoilers for both vanilla Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. you've been warned!
most of the information for the AU is very neatly summed up (and comes with extremely good art by Lyn) in this thread on Lyn's twitter. below is more of a neat recap containing some plot points and stuff that you can use for reference or whatever.
what does IYR/RTG mean?
it means "if you regret, reset the game" and is a lyric from the song Axe to Grind from Persona 5 Strikers! it's a reference to how the roleswap is essentially a 'reset' of the canon game.
how did the AU come about?
two years ago I (Ash) posted a silly tweet about a roleswap AU "but it's just the Thieves put in a randomiser" and Lyn saw traitor!Ann and went wild. anyway two years passed and we're now back working together to make the AU a reality! sort of! we're not Maruki! maybe!

🐈 Ann: That's All Folks!
💎 Ryuji: [SPOILER]
new plot changes!
Kawakami now works at Crossroads part-time rather than the maid service. there is no maid service in IYR/RTG.
Crossroads is also the place where Haru winds up spending most of her time due to the high number of confidants there and their lax rules about having birds in the bar
there's also a new waitress at Crossroads called Ren!
Shido is a complete nobody in the AU and is not relevant to the plot at all
the confidants that have been swapped out are either dead (sorry Sae) or they no longer need their confidant chain doing due to the lack of Shido in the AU
Ohya is now having a great time with her reporting partner and probably drinks a somewhat reasonable amount now maybe
Haru's dad is alive and well and still a complete asshole
Ryuji is fine :) stop asking questions about him :)
