Brain Jar Games is a new genre-defying game studio led by award‑winning designer and creative director Will Cook with co‑founders Rohan Knuckey, Krys H Kozlowski, Kaitlyn Kincaid, and Marcin Deja. The team brings veteran AAA franchise experience, having worked on RIFT, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Call of Duty. Their debut title, Dead as Disco, fuses John Wick with Baby Driver and emphasizes easily shareable content creation. The studio combines music and action to reach mainstream audiences on platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and Discord. They aim to release the first game in roughly 24 months. Financially, the company has just closed a $6.7M seed investment co‑led by Transcend and Menlo Ventures, alongside other investors and a syndicate of industry veterans.
