IntraCorp was a game publisher based in Miami, Florida, founded in 1984. The company faced bankruptcy in 1996, leading to its closure along with their main subsidiary, Capstone Software. IntraCorp was involved in the development and publication of games spanning various genres.

Their final game, Fate, never saw an official release; by 1996, only a demo version featuring four playable levels was available. Additionally, IntraCorp had plans to release a nearly complete English translation of Princess Maker 2, developed by SoftEgg. This translation was subsequently leaked online.
