The Adventure Company

The Adventure Company at a Glance

The Adventure Company operated as a Canadian publisher founded in 2002 under DreamCatcher Interactive before becoming part of Nordic Games in 2011. This entity released a total of 31 games exclusively under its publishing label while acting as the developer for none of them. Their catalog focuses heavily on the adventure genre with 30 titles, followed by 18 puzzle games and 14 point-and-click mysteries. The company primarily targeted PC users with all 31 releases appearing on Microsoft Windows. They also published for Mac on 7 titles, iOS on 4, and Wii on 3. Support extended to other systems like PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Switch, though these platforms each received only a single release from their list. The publisher was active from 2001 through 2015 with a clear shift in output over time. They released 28 games during the 2000s but only one title in the entire 2010s decade. Their average rating across 17 reviewed titles sits at 61.8 out of 100. This score reflects a catalog that is mostly good with 10 titles scoring between 60 and 79, while 6 titles received mixed ratings between 40 and 59. They have only one great title rated above 80 and no poor games below 40 in their tracked data. The highest rated game is The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 from 2015, which holds a score of 80.9. Other well-received entries include Sentinel: Descendants in Time from 2004 at 73 and Evidence: The Last Ritual from 2006 at 72.5. Missing: Since January from 2003 also earned a solid 70. Most of their later releases struggled to match the success of their early work. Outcry came out in August 2008 with a 66.9 rating, and Everlight: Of Magic & Power appeared in December 2007 without a specific score listed in the top breakdown. The company released very little content after 2008 until their final entry in 2015. While they maintained a consistent focus on point-and-click mysteries for over a decade, their volume of releases dropped sharply as the years progressed. Players looking for their work will find a library that leans heavily on older titles with a few strong exceptions but very little recent activity.
