WORDS WAGE WAR.

In 字獄 JIGOKU, the entire world is built from words. Enemies are words. Weapons are words. You are a word. Survive endless hordes of living characters across five stages — Wild, Mountain, Sea, Dark, and Heaven.

TAKE. RISE.

Begin as 人 (Human) and evolve through battle — 拳 (Brawler), 侍 (Samurai), 鬼 (Oni), and finally 神 (God). Each evolution transforms your stats, attacks, and abilities. Choose elemental skills — Fire, Ice, Wind, Lightning, and more — to build your arsenal against ever-growing swarms.

Evolution system: 人 → 拳 → 侍 → 鬼 → 神
