Orten Was The Case
Get ready to step into the (non-existent) shoes of Ziggy – an unexpected hero from a fictional Swedish neighborhood. Together, you’ll take on the daunting task of foiling a sinister scheme that could potentially devastate the entire world.
Ziggy wakes up one day with a strange mark on his hand, clueless of what happened the night before. After a couple of minutes lost amongst the familiar streets of his suburb, Orten, an explosion brings him back exactly where he woke up moments before… He’s stuck in a time loop.
With no shoes or recollection of the past, he goes on a mission to discover what the hell is going on and how to avoid the destruction of his city. This won’t be easy though, cause the more he snoops in the wrong places, the more he learns that his hometown has a lot of secrets hidden. His weird neighbors become weirder, and he can only rely on his friends, and on his highly reliable brain.
If the day repeats over and over, then how can one progress? That’s the catch: Knowledge is your key to progress in Orten. Each loop you go through, you will learn something new that will let you progress the story further. You’ll retain clues, notes, timeline events and eventually know how you can change the future in just 12 minutes on a casual Sunday.
Who are they? The Midnight Council, I mean. They seem to be the only ones that are one step in front of you. What really happened in this town 40 years ago and how do you escape the time loop and death?
Follow the clues, solve puzzles and explore the enigmatic suburb of Orten in this hand painted, intriguing, mystery adventure game!

I loved this game. Even though i have not explored everything you can do, the simple music and characters (that only speaks swedish jibberish) makes this game one of my favorite games i have played. Each cycle made me more curious and excited to explore different parts of the town. Every character was mysterious and made me eager to know them more. The best part is, I was always rewarded for exploring and taking notes of what ive learnt. I believe this is a game where everyone will have their own kind of playstyle depending on how they enjoy exploring. I strongly recommend this game to everyone, especially if your a swede.

This time-loop mystery is an artwork of a Swedish suburb come alive. 10/10 would loop again—gladly lost (in) time within Orten! Best free-movement Point-And-Click game ever.

Good puzzle game. Sometimes buggy or hard to tell where you are moving, but nothing that ruined the experience. Interesting story, some endings are quite hard to figure out on your own.

Such a dank vibe & atmosphere, such rad art stylez, and a really unique puzzler. The controls can get hella frustrating, and you gotta remember a lotta junk so that kinda hurts ya brain too.
But it's v sick. Peep the heck outta this

if you love puzzles you'll love it. Entirely handdrawn and thus a bit skewed when it comes to controls but worth it. Since it is not the usual kind of game. So if you want smth. fresh give it a shot

such a gem, it has bugs, but still overall a great game with such a cool vibe. It feels very heavy and whimsical at the same time.
