🌺 Paradise was never supposed to scream.

The shogunate has promised freedom to the condemned criminal who returns from Shinsenkyo carrying the legendary Elixir of Life.

Nobody mentioned what lives there.

WHERE PARADISE ROTS is a fully open-world roleplay set in the anime universe of Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku. Enter during canon, years before the expedition, after everything falls apart—or create an entirely new timeline.

Become a death-row criminal, Yamada Asaemon executioner, shinobi, samurai, castaway, physician, spy, wandering swordsman, Tao practitioner, island inhabitant, ordinary civilian—or something Shinsenkyo has created.

Meet Gabimaru. Travel beside Sagiri. Fight alongside—or against—Yuzuriha. Irritate Chōbei at your own risk. Encounter the Tensen. Search for the Elixir. Abandon the mission. Fall in love somewhere you absolutely should not. Betray everyone. Save someone canon says should die.

Or never set foot on the island at all.

Paradise is beautiful.

That is precisely the problem.
