Say what you want about the whole Tartarus mechanic being redundant due to not really having any other unique dungeons and whatnot, but...
I think the reason P3 stuck to me the most was the serious Pokemon Mystery Dungeon vibes it gave me, lol. Both games have:
- a mechanic that limited your explorations (P3's stamina aka "being tired" and PMD's hunger/belly aka "being hungry")
- floors with randomly-generated lay-out each time
- stairs are your best friends for the exit
- rare floor events which can either benefit or hinder you (we do not talk about PMD's "monster house" floor event)
- your teammates doing whatever tf they want so you gotta pick your strategy
- the penalty for staying at a floor for too long (P3's dreaded Reaper and PMD's dreaded "something’s stirring...." message)
//also, dat perspective of the background it's not obvious to y'all but bRUH DSKJGHKJ-

We certainly do NOT talk about those Damn Troll Monster Houses! (ESPECIALLY not those "Gonna trigger an instant Monster House the MOMENT you get up those stairs" Monster Houses! 
I know we've talked about this previously Buddy, but the similarities between these two is just...DANG! 
Not gonna lie Buddy, I am really DIGGING that background! Really gives off that unsettling feel, definitely doesn't appear to be a floor I would wanna "hang out" on! 
Really Awesome piece here Buddy! OMGOSH A PICHU LA TOO?! They're SPOILING me! (No Azurill, but De's Marill can participate!)

I think the "closest" Persona 3 ever got in equivalent to the Monster House was the rare floor event where the whole area would be swarming with glowing red Shadows (as per your navigator's line, "I sense more Shadows than usual!"). Glowing "red" (even though they're more reddish purple than actual red, lol) Shadows usually means that they're a lot stronger (and higher-leveled) than your typical Shadows
Interestingly enough, there are three rare floor events that quickly trigger the Reaper countdown (aka if the floor yields these events, you have to really hurry up because the Reaper will arrive MUCH quicker than usual 
- floor is full of golden Shadows
- floor is full of glowing "red" Shadows
- floor has no enemies at all
Yeah, that...took me a while mostly because of the perspective skdhgk
But hey, at least it was a good practice using those perspective rules in CSP aka one of those helpful functions the program has which would help me but I literally never use
Also...either the Reaper's coming or it's closing in on Minako much, MUCH sooner than you'd think....
Thanksies, buddeh~!

If ONLY Monster Houses were rare... Though it seems that to "even things out" Persona 3 gives MORE ways for the player to be confronted by their possible "demise". 
You're welcome Buddy!
