Cavia Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社キャビア, Hepburn: Kabushiki gaisha Kyabia) was a Japanese video game developer. The company name was apparently an acronym for "Computer Amusement Visualizer", although the company's web site also claimed it referred to caviar.
Cavia was best known for the Drakengard series, the first title in the Nier series (a spin-off of the former) and three Resident Evil light gun shooters: Dead Aim, The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles.
