Shuten Order

Shuten Order is a multi-genre game about a four-day hunt to identify and kill the murderer of the Shuten Order’s Founder. Humanity is nearing its end when the religious organization, which longs for that end, gathers followers and forms the small nation of Shuten. During a festival marking the nation’s founding, the Founder is murdered. The protagonist awakens with no memory and meets two self-proclaimed angels, who reveal that divine power has revived them as the Founder. With only four days to live, the protagonist takes the alias Rei and investigates the order’s five ministers, choosing which suspects to pursue and what sacrifices to make in the search for the truth.

Five investigation routes

The story branches into five routes, each tied to a suspect and changing both the narrative and the gameplay.

• Ministry of Security: Investigate Manji Fushicho while fleeing the legendary killer Nephilim. In top-down, 3D action stages, solve puzzles as you try to escape.
• Ministry of Justice: Investigate a murder connected to the wealthy Kukuri family and suspect Kishiru Inugami. Interview key figures and examine crime scenes, then use “Snapping” to inspect suspicious statements and objects in visual novel-style investigation segments. In case analysis meetings, combine evidence to work out what happened.
• Ministry of Science: Face a deadly terrorist attack at a research lab while pursuing suspect Teko Ion. Switch between characters’ viewpoints to find ways to survive; one person’s actions can affect another’s fate.
• Ministry of Education: After being poisoned, go to Shuten Academy to investigate three enigmatic girls, including suspect and poisoner Honoka Kokushikan. Track them on the school map and build connections through dialogue choices and romance events. At night, choose the right words within a time limit during the confession phase to win them over.
• Ministry of Health: Interrogate suspect Yugen Ushitora while trying to survive a death game orchestrated by an unknown force. Escape a mysterious locked room by completing dangerous trials and puzzles, where a wrong choice can put your life at risk.

By mastering the routes, you can piece together the truth, confront the culprit and shape the fate of the world.
