DeenOD is a Toronto games studio building hand-painted narrative work drawn from the Qur’an, the sira, and the broader Islamic tradition.
One field. We write when there’s something real to show.
We make games that draw from a thousand-year well of stories, and we hold them to the bar of the best games being made anywhere.
