Closed Beta announcement for Orten Was The Case
Orten Was The Case, a mystery puzzle game set in a fictional Stockholm suburb, is now entering an invite-only beta in order to collect feedback and gameplay data. Those interested in testing Orten themselves should visit Orten’s Steam page to sign up, with testing running until November 11.
Orten Was The Case Is a single player, lore driven, detective/puzzle adventure game with a time-loop mechanic and is the brainchild of smash hit It Takes Two’s lead animator, Oskar Thuresson. Thuresson also contributed to the teams behind Brothers and A Way Out. Orten Was The Case draws influences from Thuresson’s upbringing in the suburbs of Stockholm, and prominently features local settings and graffiti culture in its striking art style.
“I'm really excited to see people delve into the mysteries of Orten. It’s a thrill to be able to share my vision and fantasy of what might be hidden below street level in a suburb that most wouldn’t give a second glance to,” says lead developer Oskar Thuresson.
The Developer Woodhill Interactive has also entered a Co-Publishing Agreement with Swedish game collective Aurora Punks who will port the title to console for a planned 2023 release.
