About Dream Reality Interactive

Dream Reality Interactive is an independent game development studio based in London, creating original intellectual property and collaborating with publishers and established entertainment brands. Founded in 2016 by former Sony PlayStation developers Dr. Dave Ranyard and Richard Bates, the studio works across PC, mobile, virtual reality and augmented reality. Its development background spans camera tracking, motion controls, social play and immersive interaction.

Ranyard previously headed Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's London Studio, while Bates served as technical director on SingStar. Their experience with music games and emerging hardware informed the studio's early focus on accessible interactive experiences. Its capabilities include creative concept development, gameplay prototyping, full-cycle development using Unity and C#, and co-development with publishing partners.

From immersive experiences to original games

Early projects include Hold the World, a 2018 educational VR experience featuring Sir David Attenborough at London's Natural History Museum, developed with Factory 42 and Sky VR. The experience earned a D&AD Pencil award. The studio also developed Arca's Path VR, a gaze-based puzzle platformer published by Rebellion, and Orbu, a Japanese garden-themed augmented reality puzzler for iOS using Apple's ARKit.

Its social and mobile work includes SingHeads, developed with Snap Inc. as the inaugural gaming showcase for Snapchat's Bitmoji for Games SDK, and a mobile karaoke game created with Sing King. Its original title Rare Pets is a food-themed merge puzzle game available across mobile and web platforms.

After exploring Web3 and metaverse avatar projects between 2021 and 2023, the studio refined its focus toward original IP and narrative gameplay. In October 2026, it announced Lazare's Sacrifice, a narrative deck-building game for PC published by Curve Games and scheduled for Spring 2027. Set in Carmes Prison during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, the project is being developed in collaboration with card game designer Damien Monnier, co-creator of Gwent: The Witcher Card Game.
