Quark

Quark was a cancelled PS2, Dreamcast, and PC game by Quantic Dream.
Quark only spent 8 months in pre-production before being cancelled.

Expected release date: Q4 2001

Electronic Gaming Monthly issue 130 (May 2000)

Soon after release Omikron: The Nomad Soul, Quantic Dream got to work on Quark.
This game was to be more light-hearted and full of fantasy.

Quark was to be set in two parallel universes.
One was a fantasy world and the other was 19th century London.
Whatever you do in one universe affects the other.

Quark is the name of one of the planets you would have to explore.

Dreamcast Magazine issue 9 (May 2000)

You would play as either Waki or Una.
Waki is the main protagonist and is an adventurer, looking for his sister Una.
Una is a young orphan lost in London.

They both control animals; Una with dog and bird, Waki with fantasy animals.
Both these characters have met in dreams but have never met before.

Next Generation issue 69 (September 2000)

Quark was likely cancelled as Quantic Dream got more involved with Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy.
Quark was moved onto the backburner but Fahrenheit took a while to make, coming out in 2005.
By then the idea of Quark was too dated and was never picked up again.
