Quantic Dream (founded 1997) is a French video game developer based in Paris, France, who also supply motion capture services to the film and video game industries. They launched their first title, Omikron: The Nomad Soul, in 1999 for PC and Dreamcast, which also featured original music and acts by musician David Bowie.

Quantic Dream was next due to develop Quark, a game which was later cancelled (possibly due to the lack of technology available to them at the time). For the next two years, the developers at Quantic Dream worked hard to advance their production infrastructure, which they had first begun using in Quark. In 2002, they officially began development of Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in North America), the first game to use their sophisticated interactive cinema technology (similar to the FREE genre of Shenmue) which allows gamers to play through multiple worldlines based on the decisions made rather than a one-dimensional story. Fahrenheit is also their first game to be launched to worldwide critical acclaim, receiving multiple awards and nominations prior to its release, with high ratings from all major gaming publications.

As of 2005, Quantic Dream's next announced titles are a new franchise called Heavy Rain and Omikron 2, both of which are being aimed at the next-generation consoles PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well as for PC.
