Here is an overview of the game, via western publisher Spike Chunsoft:

About

With only 168 days left before a predicted global catastrophe, humanity faces its potential end. The shocking murder of the leader of a doomsday-focused religious group sets the stage for a thrilling story combining five adventure games, all filled with mystery and suspense.

Story

“168 remaining until the end of the world…”

Humanity is approaching its end.

Amidst widespread suffering and disorder, a peculiar religious group known as the Shuten Order arose, believing humanity should cease to exist. They quickly attracted a large following and ultimately established their own country, named Shuten.

A joyous festival celebrating the nation’s founding is shattered when the leader of the Shuten Order is killed. Shortly after, the main character wakes up with complete amnesia and is met by two beings who claim to be angels. They reveal a stunning secret: the protagonist is the murdered Founder, brought back to life with the help of divine power. But the revival isn’t perfect—they’ve lost all their memories and only have four days to live.

To survive, the protagonist must overcome “God’s trial”: identify and kill their murderer.

Okay, so I’m totally hooked on this new story! You play as this detective, Rei, and things are already crazy. She’s thrown into this huge city and has to figure out who’s behind everything. The suspects are these five powerful ministers from this group called the Shuten Order, but she doesn’t have time to look into all of them. It’s really intense because you have to choose who to investigate, and it feels like every choice matters – like finding the truth is going to cost something. I’m really excited to see how it all plays out!

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.
