About SHUTEN ORDER
■Story “168 remaining until the end of the world...”Humanity is approaching its end.In a world steeped in despair and chaos, a strange religious organization called Shuten Order emerges, yearning for the end of humanity. The group rapidly gains followers, eventually forming a small nation state called Shuten. Tragedy strikes during the grand festival celebrating their nation’s founding—the leader of the Shuten Order is murdered. Soon after, the protagonist awakens with no memory, greeted by two self-proclaimed "angels". They reveal a shocking truth: the protagonist is the murdered Founder, revived by divine power. However, the resurrection is incomplete—their memories are gone, and their life limited to a mere four days. To survive, the protagonist must overcome "God's trial": identify and kill their murderer. With the clock ticking, the protagonist, given the alias Rei, dives into the tumultuous city as a detective. The suspects? Five ministers of the Shuten Order. There's no time to investigate them all.

"Underwhelming" is the word I would use to sum up this game. After playing out a couple of the routes, I realised that the disadvantage of trying to combine multiple VN types into one game is the fact that you can never really go deeply into them. The characters are shallow and cliché. The story is uninteresting. The choices you make are irrelevant. Very disappointing game, even after buying it in sale. If you're a Danganronpa fan, skip this one.2 found this helpful
If you want 5 different games compiled into one game that is also a "Who dunnit?" mystery game with a great soundtrack, art and overall phenomenal execution and uniqueness in comparison to other VNs I can only highly recommend playing through the game and experiencing this story of sometimes stupidity, other times absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and "What the hell is happening?" - moments. Don't want to go into spoilers, just give it a try and see for yourself. Blessed be the Shuten Order!1 found this helpful
If you love Kodaka's works, you'll love this. I think story wise and art-wise this might be my favorite Kodaka work as a VN. If only Hundred Line wasn't what it is, it'll probably top that one for me. But if Shuten Order was Hundred Line's format I think it'll give it a run for its money. The story, the art, the music are all chef's kiss. Imho underrated 10/10
TL;DR If you enjoy other Kodaka games like Danganronpa for the mysteries and fun plot twists, you'll definitely like this game. If you like them for the characters, you'll probably still like this game. Shuten Order is a fun, fully-voiced visual novel set in a unique world. The concept of five routes with different gameplay is a fun gimmick as well, though said gimmicks can be hit-or-miss- I recommend this game for its story, rather than the gameplay. I played in the order Justice --> Security --> Education --> Health --> Security, which I highly recommend if you enjoy piecing together the mystery yourself as opposed to having everything revealed to you. You may have heard rumours about a bad translation. I'm fluent in Japanese though I played in English, so based on the voice acting I can confirm that there is still the occasional translation mistake- but no longer to the extent you'll struggle to play. Generally, the translation seems perfectly alright now. Some routes can drag at some points, but overall I found the mystery gripping and most characters fun and enjoyable to spend time with. As I mention at the start: if you're a fan of Kodaka games, definitely give this a sh…
Look, the idea is neat... the actual game just isn't. Many routes are rushed, the writing is akward as ♥♥♥♥ to get around the structure and to be able to actually keep the twist which really should not even be a twist anymore because everyone knows about the twist and no one tries to hide it. And the game is pretty much lying to the players which also pissed me off in Hundred Defense academy for example, which considering Kodaka is heavily involved in both I find fair to bring up. Obviously I did never even remotely believe that claim that the game had 100 proper endings and surprise surprise it didn't but the sheer act of saying again and again that it would have when it just doesn't is just a scummy move. Now we have another with him heavily involved and once again players are being lied to/tricked. I respect dude for being creative but I am slowly starting to get really annoyed with this kind of stuff.
Loved the game, good story. Gets a little wordy and paced too long at times, but the overall story is so good. I only wish I could buy the DLC afterwards, as I wasn't so sure I'd like this game, but I wish I could upgrade to the deluxe edition now.
