Velvet Room

The Velvet Room is a room located between consciousness and subconsciousness which is commonly featured in the Persona series. The Velvet Room often manifests itself differently in the game, but it is always covered in blue velvet and owned by Igor. The purpose of The Velvet Room is always to manage Personae. The room is invisible to all except those with high spiritual sensitivity. In Persona 3 and Persona 3: FES, the room is inaccessible to those who are not chosen.

In Persona 2
In both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, The Velvet Room is run by Igor, who is a servant of Philemon. Other servants of Philemon also reside in the room, including The Demon Artist, Nanashi, and Belladonna. The Velvet Room appears as a room draped in blue velvet with a piano and a microphone.
