■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. Choices must be made, and the pursuit of truth demands sacrifice.
Who killed the Founder? For what reason? Can the mission be fulfilled before time runs out?
Thus begins a high-stakes, four-day hunt for the truth.

Shuten Order is a visually striking and narratively ambitious Visual Novel that trades the explosive, absurdist energy of its developer's predecessors for a more grounded, character-driven mystery. Centered around uncovering the identity of ''The Founder’s Killer'', the game features a solid main narrative bolstered by a novel, anthology-like structure where each investigation adopts a different Visual Novel style. This short-story approach pays off immensely, offering a greater emphasis on character development and a strange world that is a colorful compared to The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy. However, the game is frequently held back by the familiar pitfalls of its genre and lackluster gameplay execution. The writing can be long-winded and lazy sometimes, leaning heavily on anime tropes that will likely alienate non-fans of this genre. Furthermore, while the visual style and central mystery are highly engaging, the pacing is often derailed by tedious busywork and generic gameplay gimmicks. Such as, frustrating slider puzzles that interrupt the moments you ACTUALLY care about! The individual story routes can also vary in quality as a result. Still, it manages to make you see more. And Despite some flaws, Most of the Routes(except for THAT one Route!) feels engaging with Plot and Storywise. In fact, during some parts the game makes you feel every kinds of emotion. Even if i think that this game will not be successfull as The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy or Danganronpa series, Shuten Order is an awesome game for newcomers despite some flaws and heavy reliance on tropes. But like i said, its distinct aesthetic, compelling world, and unique structural approach make it a standout, highly recommended, Nearly Perfect game for dedicated fans of the Visual Novel genre.
※最終章のセーブは重要選択肢が出た時にオートセーブを切る事でやり直しが楽になります。 作りたいゲームを作るのも良いけど本当に作りたいモノ作っただけのゲームになるのもちょっと… 5つのシナリオで5つのゲームジャンルを採用したけど本当に「採用しただけ」止まり。脱出ゲームも、推理ゲームも、ザッピングノベルも、恋愛アドベンチャーも表面をなぞるだけの稚拙な出来で…そのジャンルの本質をまるで活かせてない。ではその5つのシナリオが別々のジャンルである必要があって最後にちゃんとまとまるのか?と期待したけど全然そんなことはなかった。本当に開発者が作りたかっただけで最終章は普通のアドベンチャーで特に言及もなし。最終章でセーブさせないのも特に意味はないと感じた。強いて言えばこれもそういうゲームを作ってみたかっただけなのだろう。当たり前だけどユーザーとしては不便でしかないので良い印象は持てない。ほとんどのゲーム要素に存在意義がない。 推理に関しても法務省と最終章のどっちも基本「運が悪かったら成立しない」トリックだらけでやってて納得が出来ない。最終章のトリックは物理的に不可能レベルでその上に運が絡むので「まあこれくらいはゲームだし目をつむるか」の範疇を超えている。(法務省ルートから運頼りのトリックだったのですでに諦めてる状態だったにも関わらず) この際シナリオ部分がくどかったり、主人公の勘が悪すぎてイライラするのは大目に見るとしても、上に書いたことだけでも本当にこれを面白いと思って作ったのか?という疑問が最後まで消えなかった。
You have played Danganronpa before or you're a fan of the Zero Escape series, or both, and then you stumble upon SHUTEN ORDER and you think to yourself "a VN with different genres for every route and it's a murder mystery? sign me up" and then you suffer and you suffer and you suffer and- you get my point. SHUTEN ORDER is ambitious, but unfortunately can not live up to what it promises, ever. Every single time it builds to something interesting they manage to make it 5+ hours of retreading the same thing you have heard 50 times but with yet another unfunny joke. The idea of being able to start with any route you so choose sounds great in theory but falls flat the second you actually finish ANY SINGLE ONE OF THEM because practically none of the content in the route matters, yet the same secrets for the main mystery all lose their allure because they end up telling you the same thing everytime anyway. Again. And again. Because this COULD HAVE BEEN your first route. Rinse and repeat. And again. And don't forget yet another time because there is 5 to choose from. And only then do you finally get the True Ending. Which is frankly another scam to be called what it is. The True Route/End is 10+ hours of NO MANUAL SAVES except for arbitrary auto-saves, sometimes, maybe. You have a singular slot for those. The last one saves over your final choice that will decide which ending you get. You read that right, there is more than one ending, but to grab the other one you have to repeat the entire route, assuming you have made a save right before the spot after which you can no longer manually save. (The only positive here is that the game outright tells you that you will no longer be able to save. They don't tell you to expect another 10 hours though.) This is such a backwards design choice, I could accept if the final reveal was, say, 1 hour long. NOT 10+, WITH MINIGAMES, ETC. The Final Route could have been its own game, at that point. Frankly, any of the routes could have been their own game, and it would have been a better overall experience than this. This is overstaying its welcome, repeteadly. To a point where not even canon (un)doomed yuri or gendernon-conforming catgirls can save it anymore. And believe me, I love me some gnc catgirls, hello? I am writing this after letting the experience simmer for a bit, but I'm just still so mad. Endless loop of "interesting idea - bad - bad - bad - unfunny joke - bad - bad" and we start from the beginning. I wanted to love this game, I really did, but it treats you like you're 10, despite showing blood and gore and the general themes being highly violent. It just doesn't make sense. By which I mean, they tell you a thing, then they have 5 characters explain the thing and then your little helpers EXPLAIN IT AGAIN BECAUSE YOUR MC IS APPARENTLY STUPID? Except she's just "amnesiac", in a funky way, and really you just want to find your murderer. PACK IT UP. PLEASE. Unfortunately, for me, their weakest game I have had the pleasure of experiencing so far. Small technical aspect I'd like to mention is also - do NOT play this if you suffer from any type of photosensitivity. It's all very colourful, yes yes, but it also flashes just about every colour and glitchy imagery in your face, with no regard to how much that hurts. And this is coming from someone who can handle it. At the time I played the game had already been patched several times with improvements to the translation, so I did not have bigger issues with it. The occasional typo and/or missing word is absolutely there, but none of the pronoun swappery I heard about. It hurts my heart to give this game a Thumbs Down but unless you want to play every single one of their games AND it is on a big sale AND you have 50+ hours of your life to spare that you won't regret wasting.. do not buy this game. Which is such a shame because it finally has a female protagonist for once.
好游戏,是女性主角并且塑造很亮眼。虽然游戏剧情玩法槽点也很多,但还是值得一个推荐 首先科技部五条线唯一真神,喜欢江崎,这妹子很有意思。 然后卫生部不管剧情还是玩法简直就是依托,明明叫卫生部我怎么感觉一堆史往我身上糊卫生在哪[spoiler]结局狗屎一样的反转,不知道院长这个人设是谁磕多了写的,俩兄妹宛如小区群闹事的口气看得我火大,开头埋的伏笔最后告诉我只是为了卖钱瞬间破绷。还有想问smdrr故意的还是真越画越丑了那几张猥琐笑的立绘筹得我大屁股效应犯了完全精神污染赔钱行吗[/spoiler] 终章不让保存的设计很麻烦,结局剧情中规中矩非常平淡[spoiler]怎么选都不会放弃人类,对人类还是太好了,站在机器人角度很憋屈[/spoiler] [spoiler]最后真拉拉太美了谢谢款待,伏蝶妈妈主人女王。[/spoiler]
被发售加价吓哭,打折回原价才迟迟购入,作为一部adv,虽然剧情一般,但玩法和演出又弥补了很多,五条线五种玩法,终章的各种演出也很炫。 评价一下前四条线,可能是我平时gal跟病娇轻小说品鉴的比较多,教育部没感到新奇只感觉无聊,剧情也确实很水,核心诡计有点意思但很容易猜到,不是我喜欢的女主,直接c掉;卫生部极限脱出玩着还行,但剧情纯纯的神人大乱斗给我气笑了,不过终章补全人设以后算是跟这条线和解了;安全部中规中矩;司法部剧情真的不错,犬神的人物塑造也很顶。 为什么说“前四条线”,因为我感觉科技部完全可以加个剧情锁强制最后推,这条线的故事跟人物塑造都特别优秀,同时也补足了绝大部分的主线情报,打完这条线再一口气推完终章体验就是最好的。 [spoiler] 有一点不得不吐槽,终章这个人类结局完全跟be没差,同时终章4h的体量又不给手动存档,被迫动用神之力(存档替换)看完这个结局的我表示:这点小巧思四舍五入就是设计游戏的人类的错,所以人类还是赶紧毁灭吧 [/spoiler]
While rough around the edges, Shuten Order is an amazing game with a rich story and interesting game play. It uses different visual novel formats in order to tell a fun and engaging story with a lot of authenticity behind it. It's probably my favorite Kodaka game behind One Hundred Line. Shuten Order may not reach all the highs the One Hundred Line does, but with it's much shorter gameplay it also doesn't rach the lows of that game. Kodaka didn't write all of the routes for Shuten Order, but his influence is undeniable and baked into the DNA of the game. Shuten Order like One Hundred Line, and unlike some of Kodaka's earlier works, is a deeply political story about being firm in your beliefs and doing what you know is right even if it is hard. The characters are very fun and goofy, but still manage to feel real and complex. It has been over a week, and I still can't stop thinking about this game.
И так Шушим наш ордер... Начал играть в эту игру после другой игры Кодаки - The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-, и что я могу сказать, игра не только оправдала все ожидания, но и добавила мне новый проект который я могу любить всей душой. Игра сразу затягивает тебя своей атмосферой, визуальным стилем, музыкой. Ты чувствуешь тепло каждого человека, чувствуешь как этот мир одновременно хаотичен, но в тоже время прекрасен и при прохождении по чуть-чуть изучая этот мир, понимаешь что все стоит на своих местах и что раньше казалось хаотичным теперь является полностью оправданным. | Сюжет | Главный герой просыпается в неизвестной для него комнате отеля, в неизвестно каком городе который зовется Шутен. Через некоторое время в дверь комнаты стучат и оказывается что это не обычные люди, а в прямом смысле ангелы, которые говорят, что главный герой оказывается уже мертв, но сейчас Бог переселил его во временное тело, чтобы за 3 дня он прошел испытание Бога, и только в этом случае он сможет вернуть себе свое тело и свои воспоминания. Но есть загвоздка, ему нужно найти его убийцу, но на этом все не заканчивается, ему, но на самом деле ей( да у нас все квиры ), надо заставить убийцу признаться в его преступлении, а также забрать у него душу убив его. Главному герою дается 5 целей на выбор абсолютно разных по жанру сюжетов рутов, которые начинаются от симулятора романтики, до симулятора детектива. Постепенно разбираясь в сюжете, Рей Шимобе(Имя которое ей дали ангелы), понимает, что не все так просто в этом Шутене, и что в начале кажется самым обычным и самым очевидным на самом деле им не является, и игра заставляет тебя разобраться во всем, чтобы понять правду и решить, сделать свой финальный выбор. | Геймплей | Это лучше читать на свой страх и риск, может удивление потеряете, если увидите это в игре после моего отзыва... Как я говорил ранее, что в зависимости от выбора рута у тебя меняется жанр приключения, и даже меняется сам жанр визуальной новеллы, может быть экшен, детектив, бродилка, романтика, а также классическая визуальная новелла. Управление в игре конечно спорное, ну ладно это визуальная новелла можно простить, СЛАВА БОГУ что это НЕ ДАНГАНРОНПА 3 ПК ПОРТ. | Звукодизайн | Это один из главных плюсов игры, эти замечательные трэки описывают каждую ситуацию, есть музыка под каждый момент, каждый момент игры чувствуется таким насыщенным благодаря этой музыке. От темы молитвы, города, до величественных песен, божественных, прекрасного пианино и даже песен которые тебя могут заставить качать головой. Мой фаворит из музыки это Wind Howling In The Depths, во время рута Тэко Айона, она смогла меня даже на слезы пробить, она умиротворяющая, такая прекрасная, нежная. | Дизайн | Это главный момент из-за которого тебе стоит купить эту игру, этот абсолютно новый стиль не похожий на что ранее, как прекрасен каждый фон игры, как красиво выглядят персонажи, как самое главное приятно они выглядят, художники очень постарались, все персонажи выражают эмоции очень хорошо, даже стоит мне сказать, что это лучшие спрайты которые я в играх даже видел. Я честно не знаю как называется этот стиль, но мне он очень понравился, все так насыщенно, все так бунтарно, да что сказать это удивительно что такое можно было создать, я впечатлен очень сильно. | Вывод | Игра стоит того чтоб ее покупать, даже за фулл прайс, разработчики хорошо постарались чтоб преподнести хорошую историю. Сценаристы смогли придумать такой сюжет, который под конец игры полностью перевернул мое зрение обо всем, ну как не сказать что это не изумительнейшие люди. У игры толком нет минусов, кроме очень маленьких моментов где для некоторых это даже не минусы, просто я конч и на детектив руте постоянно проигрывал. Не скипайте игру, поиграйте, оно того стоит, это даже лучше данганронпы, намного.
吾辈自有终天教圣佑!
建议路线:司法--卫生--教育--安保--科技,剧情较为连贯
曼殊我爱你!!
