Sure, let’s dive into this. So, there’s this game, right? It’s called Shuten Order or something, and it’s going to be a digital-only release on the Nintendo Switch. Europe and North America folks, take note! Spike Chunsoft is the one pulling the strings here. Tried to keep it simple but this game isn’t just any game. It’s an adventure thing, with EXNOA and Tookyo Games getting in on the action, led by that genius behind Danganronpa, Kazutaka Kodaka. Weird mix of stuff in it—stealth, horror, and some kind of visual novel style. Imagine a buffet but for gameplay.
Hold up—168 days until… the world ends? I know, sounds wild. Humans are on the brink, supposedly, ’cause there’s this weird cult, Shuten Order, trying to speed up our extinction. Just casually goes from fan club to nation. Then, bam! The founder is murdered. Classic plot twist, right?
But wait, he pops back to life as Rei Shimobe. Except, plot twist number two: he’s memory-less and has only four days to live. That’s gotta be rough. Two “angels” show up—Himeru and Mikotoru—and tell him he’s gotta find his killer to truly resurrect. I guess no pressure, right?
Mark your calendars: September 5th, 2025. It’s a big digital drop, and the whole world can grab it from the Nintendo eShop.
The cast of characters is quite the motley crew. We’ve got Rei Shimobe, voiced by Mitsuki Saiga—yep, the big cheese himself. Then there’s Kishiru Inugami, the Minister of Justice who seems to live in his own world. The man seriously enjoys his substances but is some kind of legal genius. He’s like, “Why say this? Okay, sure, why not?”
There’s Yugen Ushitora, overseeing health. Man loves his sister and runs the hospital. Dubbed the “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife”—kinda ominous, huh? He’s heartfelt but a stickler for details. I mean, we all know one of those meticulous-types, right?
Next up, Teko Ion, the science whiz. Can’t say he’s warm, but the dude’s got brains for days. Designing tech and whatnot. No charisma but sharp as a tack. If you need secrets unlocked, he’s your guy—verbosity optional.
Honoka Kokushikan’s another layer of mystery as the Minister of Education. The “Conjurer of Words” can spin tales like nobody’s business, making you wonder what’s even real. Rumor has it she has eyes on leading the whole show too. Ambition, much?
Manji Fushicho is all about keeping the peace, even if she’s the fiery sort. Nicknamed the “Queen of Heretic Hunting”—that’ll make you think twice before crossing her path. Wants peace but definitely in her way.
And those angels? Himeru’s got a lot of energy but a peculiar vendetta against Shuten, while Mikotoru’s the steady hand, calming everyone else down. But try getting a straight answer out of him on the heavy stuff; you’ll be left scratching your head.
So yeah, maybe I got lost a few times writing this. But the game’s a hot mess of intrigue and chaos, and who doesn’t love a bit of that? Anyway, keep an eye out if you’re into those mind-bending gaming experiences where nothing feels as it should.
