Note: Many people are having issues related to black screens and crashes. This may have been fixed at time of reading, so please check the steam patch notes. Off the bat, I believe that your experience playing this game can be heavily influenced by your route order. Some routes provide interesting but largely inconsequential backing to the world of SHUTEN ORDER, while others give you pieces of information that wildly change how the game is framed. For optimal reading, I recommend Justice > Security > Education > Science > Health. Starting off with a negative, unfortunately the unique gameplay elements of SHUTEN ORDER's routes are not made equal. While most routes do a good job at keeping the pacing fresh and making sure their unique gimmicks are fun and not too intrusive, others are boring and surface level, and make the route drag on for longer than it should. Sadly, as interesting as the premise of a "survival horror" gameplay loop is, the Minister of Security route is the biggest culprit of this. The story of this route is relatively weak as it is, but the "Survival Horror" gameplay mostly boils down to "Walk around a non-descript location with a map waypoint to guide you, press space, oh no! Now walk at a brisk pace away from the thing that is chasing you with little to no tension or survival elements at all." It's generally uninteresting and takes too much of the route's time for what it is. The Minister of Justice/Health route gimmicks are pretty solid but can be boring, absurdly simple or pace-breaking at times. However, the Minister of Education has a consistently interesting and enjoyable gimmick, and the Minister of Science's gimmick is more just how it presents the story, which isn't intrusive at all. The story of SHUTEN ORDER provides an interesting take on an existing concept, and it does it pretty well. I obviously won't spoil exactly what this entails, but suffice it to say I thought the story was consistently strong and the mystery and plot twists kept me engaged throughout the ~32 hour play time. Starting with an initial mystery, the game expands well into exploring the wider setting and asking the player additional questions, keeping the experience fresh throughout. The art direction and music of the game, as is typical with this studio, are incredibly unique and fresh. I consistently enjoyed pretty much every music track, and the unique art style works heavily in the game's favour. At times, the reasonably low budget and large scope is visible (the free walking sections use a combination of a 2D background and 3D player model, which often comes off looking very strange and cheap), but usually the game is quite sharp. Overall while the wide scope, gameplay-wise and thematically, can at select times work against the game and leave characters or plot twists feeling underwhelming, I think SHUTEN ORDER is a unique and high quality experience that I would recommend to anyone willing to experience a full length (~30 hour) visual novel story with twists and turns and an interesting subject matter that will keep you in your seat. Overall, I give SHUTEN ORDER a 7.5/10. $73.50 AUD might be a little steep but absolutely recommend this game if/when it goes on sale.

if Hundred Line was Kodaka leaning into the harsher colder side of his aesthetic sensibilities, Shuten Order is adopting his glowing surreal bombastic stylistic sense. great intro and setup thus far!

The game's aesthetic and vibes are PHENOMENAL. They really had me gaping by the end of the prologue. Animated cutscenes are also rather numerous and most of the main story dialogue is voiced although it's only in Japanese. The story has me very intrigued and the world building is incredible. Each mystery piled up on each other has me wondering what does this mean? Why is this possible? What happened in the past? I still have a lot to go through but I am really REALLY enjoying my time with the game right now!

Another excellent game by Kazutaka Kodaka. Art direction and OST is absolute peak, some of the most interesting and vivid stuff I've seen in a while. If you are concerned about the current negative reviews: they are due to price changes in Chinese region. Really bad idea to raise prices in China by 50% after the first hour, Spike Chunsoft.

So far, it feels like the movie Paprika and The Monogatari series had a ps1 adventure game baby. The world is super strange and interesting and I'm so curious to find out more. Only bummer atm is that you can't change controller settings unfortunately.
