Who we are

Founded by addiction neuroscientist and former educator Tate Pollock, Not Right Now Studios grew from a belief that games can explore difficult subjects in ways lectures, statistics, and cautionary stories cannot. By placing players inside complicated situations, games can show how choices are shaped by relationships, grief, pressure, environment, and circumstance.

We work with an international team of writers, artists, developers, musicians, and subject-matter experts, bringing together a wide range of disciplines, cultures, and perspectives. Those different experiences and creative influences shape every part of the game, from the characters and worldbuilding to the art, music, and design.
