About

The Adventure Company was a Canadian video game publisher and brand of DreamCatcher Interactive. It is best known for publishing narrative-driven adventure games, including titles in the Agatha Christie and Sam & Max franchises.
The publisher's portfolio is defined by its distribution and localization of diverse interactive titles, notably anchoring major releases within the Ranma 1/2, Agatha Christie, and Sam & Max franchises. In the early 1990s, the company became associated with prominent Japanese imports and adaptations, including the action-puzzle game Peke To Poko No Daruman Busters (1991) and fighting titles such as Ranma 1/2: Netsuretsu Kakutouhen (1992) and Ranma 1/2: Kakugeki Mondou (1993).
As the brand expanded its reach into the mid-to-late 1990s, it supported budget re-releases and genre-defining titles on the PlayStation platform. This included publishing Nyan To Wonderful [Playstation The Best] (1996) and the tactical crossover Shin Super Robot Taisen [Playstation The Best] (1996). The company also brought narrative-heavy and cooperative experiences to players, such as the cooperative action game The Great Battle VI (1997), the horror visual novel Gakkou Deatta Kowai Hanashi S (1997), and the popular adventure port Doukyuusei 2 (1997). Through these specific properties, the publisher bridged regional gaming markets, establishing a legacy rooted in cult-classic anime adaptations and narrative-driven gameplay.
