DreamCatcher Games is a Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based developer and publisher of video games. In 2002, most of the assets and development teams of Cryo Interactive were absorbed by DreamCatcher Interactive, forming the base for DreamCatcher Europe.

DreamCatcher is best known for publishing the first-person shooter Painkiller, as well as the point-and-click adventure game The Crystal Key. In October 2005, DreamCatcher released the game Cold War, developed by Mindware Studios.

On November 4, 2006, JoWooD announced the acquisition of DreamCatcher Games, in efforts to move to the North American gaming markets [2].
