Game company profile: Adeline Software International
Adeline Software International was a French video game developer founded in February 1993. The company became well-known for creating visually distinctive and innovative games during the 1990s, particularly in the action-adventure and role-playing genres. Adeline was a subsidiary of the larger developer Delphine Software International, itself famous for games like Another World and Flashback.
Adeline Software was established by key personnel from Delphine Software, including Frédérick Raynal, who was instrumental in the success of Alone in the Dark—a pioneering survival horror game.
Adeline struggled financially in the late 1990s. The company was acquired by Infogrames (later Atari) in 1997. Following the acquisition, some of the core team members left, including Frédérick Raynal. Adeline Software ceased operations in the early 2000s.
