The spiritual realm is not as orderly a place as one might imagine, particularly within the Land of the Dead. Over time immemorial, the authority of the Enma has faded. His work to keep order within his realm has overextended him and this has allowed the hellbound Youkai to form their own factions and stake out their own claims.

Nowhere is this more evident than within the central hub: Jigoku-cho.

Originally created as a sort of trading ground between the various clans and tribes within the spiritual realm, it grew and grew into a marvelous city of grand pleasures. Here, while the presence of the Enma and of his sense of order is not entirely absent, one is able to find any number of vices to indulge themselves in. Jigoku-cho became the playground of the underworld and, of course, that created a tempting prospect for the powers within.

But more than the ‘spice of life’ that the city brings, there is also something else that this city can offer. The city built off the tributary of the Sanzu River offers a seemingly limitless supply of souls. From any time, from any universe, dead or alive: souls may find themselves drawn to this realm. Before his influence became too strained, the Enma dealt with all these lost souls directly, assigning them their labors and giving them a clear path to returning to their homes or to resurrection.

That's not the case any longer. The most powerful Youkai factions within Jigoku-cho now contract these Lost Souls to serve their interests, while promising their grandest desires in return. Once this was initially a peace keeping measure and an offer to help share the Enma’s burden, but now it is a coveted resource. More valuable than all the gold in the spiritual realm, it is something that would give any given faction complete control over Jigoku-cho if the balance were to tip in their favor.

And if one controls Jigoku-cho, they control all of the spiritual realm.




Jigoku-cho is a panfandom roleplaying game that takes place in a modern city based in "Hell". It is a combination of Japanese fantasy and mythology, and modern crime drama. Yakuza meets Youkai!

Characters brought are "Lost Souls", regardless of whether they’ve actually died or not. They are then assigned to one of four factions. Each faction serves a different role within the world. The game’s story and plot will focus around the goals of these factions and how the friction between them will shape this world. The ultimate goal of these “Lost Souls” is to work their way into earning their ticket home, to resurrection, or even another desire their heart desperately wants.

Welcome to Hell, kids.
