Ferry Halim's games mostly contain small animals. The majority of the games are 'cute' and have beautiful outdoor backgrounds and relaxing, ambient music (some of which composed by Steven Cravis[5] and several from Kimagure Orange Road), with few games involving fighting and battle. The games have been considered art games. The Orisinal website also includes an online store, guest book, desktop wallpaper, trailers and a special function that allows users to send and receive flowers custom-made via email services.[6]
Orisinal is also known for having very strong protection over its Flash games that has kept them from being unlawfully copied onto other websites. According to Ferry Halim, the website is "his personal playground."[7]
