DreamCatcher is a publishing label for Nordic Games GmbH, part of the Nordic Games Holding AB group. Originally an publishing company itself, DreamCatcher Interactive was acquired by Nordic Games in November of 2011, transferring its product- and brand-portfolio to the parent company with the plan to re-launch the extensive back catalogue of games and further expand on the wholly owned IPs and licences (including Painkiller, Safecracker, and more than 50 other intellectual properties (IPs) and licenses.)
Since its first launch back in 1996, DreamCatcher Interactive quietly turned into a very successful small-sized publishers in the industry. Based in Ontario, Canada, the company started as a publisher exclusively for PC adventure games. Over the next 10 years, DreamCatcher experienced rapid growth and became a major publisher as well as distributor.
The company diversified into new platforms and genres and, in 2002, established the publishing label The Adventure Company to handle their adventure titles and strengthen its core competence.
In March 2007, both DreamCatcher and The Adventure Company became part of the JoWooD Group as publishing labels. Following JoWooD's insolvency in early 2011, DreamCatcher experienced a similar development and filed for bankruptcy shortly after its former parent company. The JoWooD and The Adventure Company labels were acquired by Nordic Games in August of 2011, with DreamCatcher brought together with its former brands under Nordic Games later that year.
