Orten Was The Case

If you enjoyed Outer Wilds, this game is for you. Don't look up anything. Just play it. 10/10.

Give this game a chance. The art style was off-putting at first but now it's grown on me. I was looking for something to scratch that "Knowledge based game" itch after finally beating Outer Wilds and this was recommended to me in a comment section on Youtube. After about an hour or two I was hooked. It's well thought out and gives that "ah ha!" feeling when you connect dots. The mystery is quite wild, no spoilers, but I can say I did not expect where it went in a good way.

Clever puzzle game about a dude stuck in a time loop! The art style is great, the events are whacko, and the characters are great. Only 2,5 minuses: - Occasionally not so intuitive puzzles, but there are guides out there. - There are checkpoints, but only in some cases. Repeating some of the end game loops can be a bit tedious. - Half minus: A lot of the humor is based on Swedish culture, so you should definitely play it if you're Swedish! Not sure if you would get everything if you are not.

Really fun and engaging but buggy. Platforming parts are really bad since controllers suck. Got stuck in floors several times. Also, reloading checkpoints on steam deck crashes the game 50% of the time. So it is a bit rough but still good enough to keep playing.

interesting to use information you've gathered to make progress in the next run, like outerwilds

Brilliant, even thought a little bit rough around some edges! Maybe be extra forgiving initially, and it will likely not disappoint you!

I absolutely just love it
