Company Summary

Odd Origins is developing a portfolio of games catered to the "mid-core" market. With the advent of super simple casual games, there exists a white space for more engaging games that will eventually exist in between the casual end (e.g. Zynga) and the hardcore end (e.g. World of Warcraft). Combined with the new-found accessibility (all one needs is a web browser or smartphone), the time is ripe to produce these games.
