About
“168 hours remaining until the end of the world…”
In a bleak future, the world nears collapse. Amid this growing despair, a strange religious organization called Shuten Order rises to power and forms its own nation. But during a festival to celebrate its founding, tragedy strikes—the group’s leader is brutally murdered.
Soon after, a mysterious figure awakens with no memories, greeted by two “angels” who deliver a shocking truth: this is the resurrected body of the murdered Founder. Now reborn but with only four days to live, the protagonist—given the alias Rei—must pass “God’s trial”: uncover and execute their killer.

Editor’s Take
SHUTEN ORDER continues to stand out as one of the most ambitious and eccentric projects on the horizon. With Kitayama Takekuni—the mind behind Danganronpa Kirigiri—contributing to the story, there’s reason to expect tightly wound suspense with layered characters.
Meanwhile, simadoru’s bold, chaotic art direction sets the tone for a game that isn’t afraid to get wild, matching its multi-genre structure with equally vibrant visuals. This is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing releases of the year.
