Mission

DeenOD Studio is a games studio drawing from the Qur’an, sira, and the broader Islamic tradition. Our north star is to make work that stands next to the best games in the world, without compromising on either craft or principle.

We do not depict Allah, the prophets, or angels. The constraint became our visual signature: calligraphy as voice, geometric pattern as motion design, off-screen presence as the demanding visual problem we set ourselves. Hand-painted 2D / 2.5D, voice- led, no exploitation patterns, premium one-time purchase.

Title fact sheets

  • In development

    Sira: The Companions

    Narrative anthology

    “An anthology of those who carried what fell upon them.”

    A narrative anthology of the people closest to the Prophet ﷺ. The vertical slice in development follows Bilal ibn Rabah, from Mecca to the first adhan in Madinah.

    Andalus

    Metroidvania

    “When a city falls, knowledge flees through small doors.”

    A metroidvania set in al-Andalus during the late convivencia. Knowledge as the progression system: fahm, sabr, hikma. Combat is the lesser path.

  • Concept

    Qisas al-Anbiya

    Anthology of mechanic-distinct shorts

    “Each prophet, a different mechanic. The same well.”

    An anthology of shorts adapting prophetic stories. Each chapter takes its own camera, mechanic, and pacing — the unifying language is the studio's visual and audio DNA, not the gameplay.

  • Concept

    The House of Wisdom

    Choice-driven RPG

    “Translate carefully. The wrong word convicts.”

    A choice-driven RPG set in Abbasid Baghdad's translation movement. The mihna and its debates are the political backbone, staged honestly without taking sides.

  • Concept

    The Ummah

    Life sim

    “A community is a calendar.”

    A life sim of a community and its masjid. Ramadan, Hajj, and Eid as systemic events that drive gameplay rather than decorate it.
