Atlus establishes official and elaborate spoiler warnings for their recent game releases in Japan to dissuade players from ruining the experience for others.

This is a pledge of the soul you are making with me. If by chance it is ever broken…
Using this hammer like Thor’s and this blast furnace like Surt, I will continually whirl you around, transforming you into a “cog of society.” Alternatively,
I will impose upon you the condition of “clear within 1 turn” on all stages in the game.
Your body or your soul? You will have to choose your path of destruction, so please play with ample caution.
