Orten Was The Case is now entering an invite-only Steam beta (running until November 11) in order to collect feedback and gameplay data.
Orten Was The Caseis 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.
Orten Was The Case is in development for PC (Steam) and consoles, scheduled for 2023.
