How to Unlock the Net Café in Persona 3 Reload

If you’ve explored the Iwatodai Station Strip Mall, you’ve likely encountered the Net Café on the third floor, which remains stubbornly closed. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use this shop’s products until you’ve unlocked the shared computer in your dorm room.

But there is good news! You’ll gain access to the shared computer with zero effort. You’ll just need to progress the game until 4/29. Once you’ve done that, Mitsuri will tell you that the Wi-Fi has been restored, and Junpei will point you in the direction of the shared computer. The shared computer is on the first floor of the dorm, behind the front desk to the left of the door.

This is important to note, because everything you can purchase from the Net Café can only be used once on the shared computer in the dorm. Using the shared computer and the software you purchased at the Net Café will take up a block of your day.

You also can’t play online games on the shared computer. To hang online with a particular girl, you’ll need to go to your room.

Once you’ve unlocked the shared computer, you can also purchase the Umiushi Fan Book for 450. Once you get the fan book, you can get takeout from Umiushi Beef Bowls, which is just to the right of the Net Café. You’ll then need to register your membership at the shared computer. But this will take up another block of time.

Umiushi Beef Bowl has the following takeout options:

• Umiushi Beef Bowl – A staple of the Umiushi menu. Restores 20 HP to 1 ally.
• Spring Cabbage Bowl – Has a tasteful mix of sweetness and saltiness. Restores 100 HP to 1 ally

The Shared Computer is also where you can look up URLs purchased from the shady dealer in the club. These URLs can do everything from boost stats, make food available, and teach you new skills in Tartarus.
