Point-and-click mystery adventure game Phoenix Springs will launch for PC via Steam on September 16, developer Calligram Studio announced.
“Our small team is incredibly excited about releasing Phoenix Springs on September 16,” said Calligram Studio founder Jigme Ozer in a press release. “It’s been really heartening to see everyone’s excitement for the game, from events like Day of the Devs, to the media that’s had such kind words for us and of course the community that’s been spreading the word about Phoenix Springs. We can’t wait for you all to get to dive into the mystery we’ve created!”
Here is an overview of the game, via Calligram Studio:
Phoenix Springs is a modern point-and-click with a streamlined, intuitive user interface, where you collect clues and leads rather than physical objects.
It all begins when reporter Iris Dormer reconnects with her estranged brother. She finds herself in Phoenix Springs, a desert oasis home to an enigmatic community. As she explores ancient ruins and interrogates a rich cast of characters, she must uncover the mysteries that connect the place, the myths, and herself.
As you follow leads and talk to characters, you will collect clues and leads in your inventory. Connect these clues with the environment or mention them in fully voice-acted conversations to progress. Discard false leads and red herrings as you solve logical puzzles designed to challenge and delight fans of story-rich interactive experiences.
Phoenix Springs has collected a host of accolades in the lead up to its release, including being an official selection at Day of the Devs 2024, winning “Best Art Direction” at Indie X Lisbon 2022, the WINGS prize at A Maze 2024, “Best of British” at the 2024 London Games Festival and the “Critic’s Choice” and “Most Anticipated” awards at Indie Cup UK 2023.
