Quantic Dream
The Paris Studio That Pioneered Interactive Drama and Motion Capture Cinema
Quantic Dream is a French video game development studio founded in 1997 by writer and composer David Cage in Paris. Globally acclaimed for revolutionizing branching narrative drama and motion capture acting in Omikron, Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, and Detroit: Become Human.
Omikron and Collaboration with David Bowie
Debuting with Omikron: The Nomad Soul in 1999, Quantic Dream partnered with rock legend David Bowie, who composed an original album for the game and appeared as two distinct virtual characters.
Heavy Rain and Branching Realism
With 2010's Heavy Rain, David Cage popularized the concept of 'Interactive Drama', where central protagonists could perish permanently without triggering game-over failsafes. In 2018, Detroit: Become Human achieved over 10 million copies sold.
