Other Ocean Interactive is a Canadian-American video game developer based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Emeryville, California. Originally founded in 2006 in Charlottetown, as a studio for Foundation 9 Entertainment, the studio was spun off as Other Ocean Interactive in May 2007.

History

Foundation 9 Entertainment, at the time the largest independent video game developer in North America, announced on 6 February 2006 that it was opening Backbone Charlottetown, a new internal studio based in Charlottetown, Canada. When co-founder Andrew Ayre left Foundation 9 a year later, he bought out and became the sole owner of the Backbone Charlottetown studio, which was renamed Other Ocean Interactive that May. By 2008, the company established headquarters in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
