Shuten Order Character Trailers Showcase the Game’s Cast

Alright, let’s dive into this. So, Spike Chunsoft is throwing this game called “Shuten Order” onto the Nintendo Switch. Sorry, just in Europe and North America. Digital only, by the way. No shiny discs to stack on your shelf.

They’ve got EXNOA—yeah, the folks behind DMM Games—partnered up with Tookyo Games. You know them if you’ve played anything from the Danganronpa dude, Kazutaka Kodaka. It’s like a mashup game with five kinds of gameplay. Stealthy action horror meets multi-perspective visual novels. Whatever that means.

And there’s this wild countdown: “168 days until the world ends.” Classic end-of-the-world vibe. Humanity’s spiraling downwards, and guess what? Some religious group pops up, calls themselves Shuten Order. They’re actually forming a mini-nation? Then bam! Founder gets whacked.

But here’s the kicker. The Founder’s back, sorta. Now they’re Rei Shimobe, the main character. It’s like God flicked a magic switch, but left their memories in the dust. Plus, they’ve only got four days to live. What a raw deal, huh?

Two angels—or so they claim—show up. They tell Rei that to fully resurrect, they’ve gotta play detective and whack their own killer. Four days to crack this mystery. No pressure or anything.

So mark your calendars: this chaos goes live on the Nintendo eShop worldwide, come 5 September 2025. Get it if you like your games with a side of existential dread.

Now, who’s who in this twisted tale? Rei Shimobe takes the lead as our revived protagonist, voice by Mitsuki Saiga. There’s Kishiru Inugami, Minister of Justice—calls himself a “free spirit.” Yeah, okay. Talks nonsense but gets things done. Daisuke Ono voices him, in case you’re curious.

Then there’s Yugen Ushitora, the health guy. He’s running a hospital and, strangely, is called the “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife.” Talk about bedside manner. Loves his sister to bits. Bit weird.

Science-wise, Teko Ion’s your guy. Zero charm, but his brain’s like a supercomputer. Ayumu Murase voices him. Educationally, Honoka Kokushikan’s manipulating minds and keeping secrets. Her face is a mystery, and she might be plotting to be the next boss.

Security’s under Manji Fushicho’s thumb. She’s got a temper and hunts down heretics. Known as “Queen of Heretic Hunting,” she demands peace but damn, does she have an iron fist.

Now, onto the so-called angels—Himeru and Mikotoru. Himeru’s a hot mess of emotions, pushing Rei into doing stuff, while harboring some hardcore spite against Shuten. Mikotoru’s more chill and brainy, steering Rei in his own cryptic way.

So there’s your chaotic rundown. Whether it’s your cup of tea, well, maybe it is, maybe it’s not. Who even knows anymore?
