Identify, Old Windows Point and click adventure game. Pixel art set in the future puzzle and problem solving

Question

Alright, I can't remember which year I played this in but it was definitely from 1998-Early 2000's Was definitely played on Windows 2000 or Windows 98 but I'm leaning towards 2000. However its possible the game could have been released before that. Graphics were 2D most likely pixel art from the little I can remember. And to progress through the story you had to overcome various obstacles/problems. almost certain it was a point and click. It had full on music as far as I can remember due to its immersiveness. Not sure on whether or not it was a CD-ROM but I think I remember it having an .exe (Also something else that might be of assistance I remember playing games like Missile Command the 3D version around the same time)

In the game you controlled a young boy who I think started off in his room and noticed things were off. In his room were two badly adhered speakers and CD's everywhere (he comments on this) and I'm almost certain the walls and such were green. You had to escape his room using various objects as far as I know; (I played Mysteries Of Time And Space earlier and it's pretty similar although I think I remember wider zooms at times where the character was in view) but a little while longer into the story he realizes he's awakened in the future. At one point you come to a section with a lot of stores. The whole setting I remember was like suburban slums. It was a very cool game, pretty long from what I can remember and I never got through the story I would be so grateful if anyone could identify this.

Answer

Sounds like "Out of Order." Never played it myself.

It's freeware. You can still download it from the developer: http://outoforder.adventuredevelopers.com/
