Games drawn
from the well
of the deen.

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.

How we work

Sira:The Companions
