Company profile

researched Aug 2026

더재미 (THEJAEMI, ㈜더재미) is a South Korean game development company headquartered in Seoul's Mapo-gu, in the Gongdeok Startup Hub building. Its portfolio centers on mobile titles for iOS and Android: Legendino (레전다이노), a real-time turn-based PvP RPG in which players collect and raise 150 species of dinosaurs; ActionCat (액션캣), a roguelike platformer/side-scrolling shooter in which animal agents use varied guns and skills to destroy viruses; CatchBlock (캐치블록), a children's educational title combining action gameplay with AI-based math learning, co-developed with Woongjin ThinkBig; and Michelle (미쉘), an action game set in a post-apocalyptic world shaped by pollution and disaster.

Beyond its own games, the company produces client work and Mixed Reality (MR) educational content for public education centers, including XR content for the Gangnam Future Education Center ("NewFormer Explorers – Space-K Mission" space-science experience and "Space Colony" space-colonization simulation) and XR content for the Gwangju MiraeChaeum Center. The company describes its capabilities as multi-platform launches, networked multiplayer development, long-term live service and retention work, and 2D/3D art production, staffed by developers with more than ten years of game industry experience.

Alongside product development, the company has built a track record of Korean public-sector program participation and R&D activity, including a corporate research institute, venture company registration for its smart game system, and patents related to board games and unique-code augmented reality.
