SHUTEN ORDER throws you into a dark, desperate world where a cult-like nation called Shuten rises as humanity teeters on the brink. During a founding festival the Order’s leader is murdered, and you awaken as the resurrected Founder with no memories and only four days to live. Guided by two self-styled "angels," you must pass a divine trial: identify and kill your murderer before time runs out. The game frames this hunt as five distinct routes - each tied to one of the five ministers and each delivering a different genre and playstyle - so your choices matter and sacrifices are inevitable.
