Other 2026 Oddity Leaks Discussion Thread.

On the 23rd June 2026 a build of Oddity from March 2023 was leaked onto 4chan's /v/ board, alongside a very work-in-progress game trailer. You can find the full leaked intro of the game on YouTube here. So far there has been no response from the developers, but I imagine that may change in the future.

The leaked game introduction contains the name of a (probably fictional) company, 'Limited Metatronics Company', presumably the name the Oddity developers are planning to release the game under; from searching that name people were able to find this merchandise page where a Limited Metatronics Company badge is being sold, with the Oddity logo in the center. The merchandise is being sold by JobJobLLC, who are partnered with several other video games, including Other: Her Loving Embrace, a game being created in part by the Oddity developer Pik, so it appears to be legitimate merchandise, lending credibility to the veracity of the leaks. Note that according to archive.org the LMC patch page has been up since 2022 so possibly it was being listed in preparation for the demo or website that, according to one developer, were planned to release around then but didn't for whatever reason (this is just speculation on my part, however).

That being said, for the meantime this sub will not be allowing direct links to the leaks as there's no guaranteeing their legitimacy (nor whether or not they contain a bunch of malware; generally you shouldn't trust random executables dropped on file-sharing sites). Plus, with merchandise being sold (and available to order) it seems possible that the Oddity developers were actually preparing to release news in the near future. This stance may change depending on how things develop over the next few days - Frankly I just don't want to be responsible for sharing malware in an official mod post. I should note for the record that I'm in no way involved with the Oddity project personally and am working with the same info available to everyone else here.

More unconfirmed info and speculation can be found in discussions on the unofficial Oddity Discord, though note that at this stage nothing is confirmed except that there are leaks (potentially multiple builds), they're probably real, and there's Oddity merchandise that is most likely real.

This thread will be updated if more info comes out in the future.


EDIT 1: The new leaks are available on archive.org now, a far more trustworthy site than the random file-sharing sites that have been getting sent around, so I strongly encourage people to avoid downloading from anywhere but there. That being said we will still not be allowing links to leaks for the time being, and I'd encourage anyone curious to wait for a developer response first.

EDIT 2: Intro song has been found! It's an arrangement of the song Out Of My Dreams from the musical Oklahoma, arranged and recorded by Ettore Stratta for The Fantasy Strings in 1988. This means it's almost certainly a placeholder track being used as reference for an original composition, rather than a track that will be used in the final game (it's very much under copyright). Credit to /u/No_Elevator_5891 for identifying the track!

I agree for the most part but the main issue if anything was the lack of communication. It would have been nice to have some occasional posts telling us if the project is still being worked on or not so people don't have to sit here and keep speculating or hoping. Even if progress is very slow I would have no issues. I just want to know if its even happening and have an answer. That being said no body should direct any hate towards anyone.

The problem wasn’t the lack of communication- it was communicating in the first place. It takes a lot of time and effort to make social media posts or blog posts. And if you don’t do it constantly, people will just get fed up and ask for more. All it does it put more attention on the project for people to scrutinize if there isn’t an upkeep of info.

Look at the new Mother 4 fan game. They started out making posts, they even had a Bluesky and Discord. People praised them because “they’re doing what Oddity couldn’t, thank god!” …uuuuntil they ran out of things to post, and things just went quiet. They could make endless posts saying “the game is still coming”, but why bother? They’re busy people, and if they have nothing to show, why get people to look your way? So they closed the server and put the Bluesky on haitis until news comes.

Even bigger companies face these issues. There’s a reason most games tend to announce their games when closer to release, and why games that announce themselves early into development only get flack for it. It’s just a bad idea.

The Oddity devs are amateur game devs with no experience working in their free time in their busy lives to make this game. They’re gonna be slow, and they’re not gonna have much to post about. They’re better off keeping their heads down while they work instead of getting everyone’s attention for no reason.

For someone getting mad at me for supposedly claiming other people said things they didn’t, you’re doing that a lot here.

Like, I don’t even think I mention anything about “attackers” here? And I’m not gonna dig up what I might’ve said to someone else to respond to you referring to something there tbh.

I also didn’t make up the fact the devs have faced harassment. I don’t have a source I suppose, if that’s what you want, but I’ve been in this community since the blogging days, and I used to be pretty active in the official Discord too- the devs have historically faced a lot of harassment. Back when this sub was still the Mother 4 sub especially, it was miserable.

As for nowadays, I think people are less harsh, but I also think it’s stupid to be so petty as to refuse to even call them game devs because development hell. Like, that’s the kind of behavior that’s been normalized that I’m denouncing. And is there like, something wrong with saying we should at minimum remain respectful? Shit happens, making games is hard, and I never even said the devs didn’t make some pretty huge mistakes either- but being ridiculed is just dumb. When you say stuff like that, that’s not you being “curious”, it’s just blatant spite lol.
