The Game is a competition held through the App that on its surface are guilds claiming territory to become the most powerful guild in Tokyo. As the story continues, it becomes more evident that the true purpose of the Game is far more encompassing than anyone had initially believed, encompassing not just Tokyo but the 23 worlds connected to the city as well as the fate of mankind as a whole.
Overview
Creation
The Game was proposed and created by Utopia and its Representative. Due to Utopia existing as a "world in the far future", they were well aware of what was fated for Tokyo as well as the rest of humanity. They also had the technology necessary to perform "time leaps", a power needed to create the ever-repeating time loops that encases the city.[1]30
Purpose
The true purpose of the Game is the creation of a new System, a new God, to govern over humanity to prevent their devastation in the far future. According to King Solomon, a God is a being seen as "sacred". Because of this, he believes that the current era of mankind is in need of a new God to lead them. By creating a game board where Tokyoites are used as the source of Transient summoning, in addition to the time loops, the Game would be stable and continue on for as long as it needed to until majority rule decides what the best course of action for humanity is.[1]30
Several theories have been discussed by other characters earlier in the story.
Shuichi proposes that the App is designed to unify all 24 mythologies, Tokyo in addition to the other worlds connected to it. Through this process, he believes that a whole new world will be brought into existence once a world wins and establishes themselves as the highest ranking world.[2]13 Later, characters discuss that its purpose is to consolidate which world's System should hold absolute sway over the other worlds.

Memories of all individuals are lost, with the exception of individuals who have formed a connection outside of Tokyo, as well as individuals with Sacred Artifacts that act as pillars.
Important Persons

Main article: World Representative
Despite the App having many users, only the World Representatives are considered to be "true players", those involved with the deeper purposes of the Game.

Lil' Salomon
The 24th Soul
However, due to the reveal in Chapter 12 that one of the souls inside the Protagonist (heavily implied to be the player themselves) is actually not constrained by the hierarchy imposed upon them, making it possible for them to defy the Representatives and their rules. This reveal has since changed the goal of some Representatives into eliminating the Protagonist and removing said factor them, fearing that this will change the outcome of the game and possibly ending it for good.
