Sure thing, let me throw on my thinking cap, riff a bit here, and let’s see what happens. So, Spike Chunsoft just threw this wild curveball and dropped the news about “Shuten Order.” It’s digital only, nabbing its spot on the Nintendo Switch in Europe and North America. Pretty rad, right?
EXNOA, with their DMM Games hat on, teamed up with Tookyo Games to cook up this multi-layered adventure. And guess who’s steering the ship? Kazutaka Kodaka, the genius behind Danganronpa. The game juggles like five hats — stealth, horror, visual novel — it’s like a buffet but for game genres. And that’s not an exaggeration. Honest.
“168 more days till everything goes kaboom.” Poof, humanity’s packing its bags. In this chaos-induced world, Shuten Order pops up — a strange little cult that’s way too eager for the end. They grow, they form a nation, and plot twist… someone offs the Founder. Sounds like a plot, right? Well, duh!
But wait, like some mad magic trick, the Founder comes back as Rei Shimobe. Except, she’s got amnesia and a short life span — four days to be exact. It’s like waking up from a deep nap and realizing you missed the entire movie.
Enter two self-proclaimed “angels” — real or not, who knows? They basically dump this mission on Rei: Find who killed you, you know, if she wants a second lease on life. Time is ticking, girl.
September 5, 2025. Save the date, because that’s when the game makes its grand entrance on Nintendo’s digital doorstep.
Meet the Shuten Order’s VIPs, or whatever you call folks who run what seems like a post-apocalyptic playhouse. Take Kishiru Inugami, our offbeat Minister of Justice. Guy’s as free as a bird and spontaneous. Calls himself the “Ghost White Arbitrator” — and, oh yeah, he’s hooked on legal drugs. Go figure.
Then there’s Yugen Ushitora, holding down the fort at the Ministry of Health. “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife,” they call him, and wouldn’t you know it, he runs Shuten General Hospital like a boss. A meticulous guy, but fiercely loyal to his sis. Family first — hard to argue with that motto.
Next up, Teko Ion, your head honcho at the Ministry of Science. A bit undead in the charisma department but hey, he’s a prodigy. Designs half the tech in their chunk of the world. Not sure if he’s building robots or… no, no idea.
Honoka Kokushikan steers the Ministry of Education ship, though she might be running her own smokescreen gig. “Conjurer of Words,” they say. She’s got rumors swirling around — like shadows at dusk.
Security? Manji Fushicho. The “Queen of Heretic Hunting” has a thing for peace. You’d think that’s contradictory, huh? Anyway, she’s all about protecting their patch of dirt from — well, whatever counts as a threat these days.
Angels and mysteries — Himeru and Mikotoru are the self-appointed guides on this chaotic ride. While Himeru’s bubbling with impatience, Mikotoru’s the calm one. But try unraveling them — it’s like trying to nail jelly to a tree.
So, there you have it. A world teetering on the edge, a reborn protagonist with a time crunch, and a medley of odd characters. It’s coming… and I still can’t wrap my head around the madness of it all. But hey, isn’t that the point?
