For a company founded farely late in the 1990s, surprisingly little is known about Open Mind World (the Korean name used until August 3, 2000 likewise means "Open Mind"), as it's one of the least celebrated Korean developers, despite a steady output in the popular dating and raising simulation genres. After defending boxed retail releases until the very end, Open Mind World commenced online download sales of their titles in August 20051. Its creative output mostly ended shortly after, as in more recent times the company has only been heard of for porting its own games to various mobile devices. Several games in development have been announced in the years since then2, but the only released one so far is the Carmen Sandiego-like Time Expedition for Android.
