Tom Crago is the CEO and owner of video game developer Tantalus, a Melbourne-based studio that has produced more than forty titles. Representing a personal project three years in development (incorporating a PhD at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne), Crago’s innovative approach to gaming engages players in a poetic investigation into the human psyche; an existential journey of isolation, self-discovery and competition. In addition to Tantalus, Crago owns and runs sister studio Straight Right, which has worked with successful game franchises, including Mass Effect, Deus Ex and Need for Speed. He is the author of Flashbacks from the Flow Zone (2014).
