Shuten Order centers on Rei Shimobe, an amnesiac resurrected to solve her own murder in exchange for her killer's life. Angels tell Rei that her dismembered body was scattered in a park and that one of five Shuten Order ministers is likely responsible. Rei is the leader of a cult-like, God-rejecting movement that controls a nation, so her investigation is constrained by status and ideology. Players must pick one minister to accuse, and that choice determines the game's genre, tone, and five-to-ten-hour route. Each route reconfigures the same premise into distinct gameplay and narrative experiences.
I don't know when Kazutaka Kodaka sleeps. On top of releasing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy -the tactics RPG with 100 different endings and dark horse for Game of the Year discussions-this year, the Danganronpa creator has also been working on Shuten Order with Neilo , a multi-genre adventure game that isn't quite as massive, but is no less ambitious.
Shuten Order stars Rei Shimobe, an amnesiac who wakes one day in the care of two angels. The pair explains that the night before, she was murdered, and her body was hacked to pieces and scattered across a public park. Upon her death, God with a capital G granted her one chance to live: if she could return to the real world and solve her own murder, she could exchange her killer's life for her own.
Based on the information provided by the angels, Rei believes that her murderer is likely one of the five ministers of the Order. All that's left is to find out which one. However, for Rei, it should be pretty simple. She has the blessing of God, so if she believes someone to be the culprit, it's probably true. That's where Shuten Order splits off.
