Quantic Dream SA is a French video game developer based in Paris, France, founded on 3 June 1997. The company also supplies motion capture services to the film and video game industries. They are well known for their interactive drama story based games such as Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy and Beyond: Two Souls.
Quantic Dream launched their first title Omikron: The Nomad Soul, in 1999 for PC and Dreamcast, which featured original music by musician David Bowie, who also provided the voice for the character Boz. In 2002, they began development of Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in North America), the first game to use their interactive cinema technology, which allows gamers to play through multiple worldlines based on the decisions made rather than a one-dimensional story.
Fahrenheit was generally well received, receiving multiple awards and nominations prior to its release, with high ratings from all major gaming publications. In 2005, Quantic Dream's next announced titles were Heavy Rain and Omikron 2. Released in February 2010, Heavy Rain was well received and has sold over two million copies worldwide.
Quantic Dream have helped pioneer the Interactive Drama genre, and places emphasis on storytelling, emotion and innovation. Cage has stated, "We want to build on what we have discovered with Heavy Rain. We created the genre. We own the genre, and we want to show that Heavy Rain was not a coincidence or a lucky shot - that it was really something that makes sense and that we can build on."
