Sure, I’ll dive right into it:

So, it seems Spike Chunsoft, that game’s company (you know them, right?), is releasing this wild ride called Shuten Order for the Nintendo Switch. But only if you live in Europe or North America. Lucky us, I guess?
Now, EXNOA – those folks who run DMM Games – joined hands with Tookyo Games. They’ve pulled in Kazutaka Kodaka. Yup, that’s right, the dude who brought us Danganronpa. This game is a mixed bag: stealth, horror, a bit of a visual novel. Basically, a multi-flavored ice cream of gaming.
And then, there’s this countdown – 168 days till the end of everything. Sounds pretty ominous, huh? Society’s crumbling, the usual chaos. There’s this sketchy group, Shuten Order, with some intense end-of-world vibes. Suddenly, bam! Their Founder gets offed.
The plot twist? The Founder comes back to life. Yup, meet Rei Shimobe, our (kind of?) hero. But there’s a catch, of course. Because there always is. They’ve only got four days left to live. Oh, and memories? Gone – poof.
Two “angels” pop up – are they really angels, though? Anyway! They tell Rei to solve their own murder basically, like a high-stakes escape room. All wrapped up in a neat four-day package.
Mark your calendars – September 5, 2025, Shuten Order hits the Nintendo eShop. All digital, baby!
Let’s peek at the characters because why not? Rei Shimobe – voiced by Mitsuki Saiga. Ministry all-stars lineup time: Kishiru Inugami, the goofy yet genius Justice Minister. Legal drug advocate. The “Ghost White Arbitrator,” no less.
Yugen Ushitora calls shots at Shuten General Hospital. Top-tier “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife.” But detail-obsessed – probably color codes his socks.
Science is Teko Ion’s territory. Not much charisma, massive brainpower. Wonder how he handles social gatherings.
Honoka Kokushikan? She’s mysterious, head of Education. Got a bucketload of secrets. I’m calling it now: future Founder contender.
Security is Manji Fushicho’s gig. Not a fan of heretics – whatever that means in this world. Imagine a tough-as-nails peacekeeper with a soft spot for tranquility.
And then we get Himeru, one of the “angels.” Little bit of panic, a sprinkle of malice. Seriously, what’s her beef with Shuten?
Mikotoru, the other supposed angel, is all calm and collected. Answers questions with a maze of non-answers – classic.
And that’s the scoop on Shuten Order. Quite a ride, huh?
