Phoenix Springs is a detective game that looks like the cover of a medieval science fiction novel, and why Stream live on Steam On September 16.
Filled with mystery and a vivid neo-noir aesthetic, Phoenix Springs reporter Iris Dormer follows as he searches for his brother Leo in a mysterious community in the heart of a desert oasis. It’s a challenging puzzle game with voice acting and a minimal user interface, and Iris’s inventory is designed to be filled with mental notes rather than physical objects, encouraging players to think in abstractions.
Visually, there is no other game Phoenix Springs. It combines 2D and 3D animation, and it features hand-drawn scenes featuring heavy shadows and muted greens with bright pops of yellow and red. The game looks old and new at the same time and is one of the most exciting games to come out this year for puzzle fans.
Phoenix Springs Designed and published by Calligram Studio, a four-person art collective based in London. Calligram launched a Kickstarter for the game in 2017 and successfully raised over €10,000. Over the past seven years, Calligram has won several prestigious awards and nominations. Phoenix Springsadded an extra touch of anticipation to today’s release date announcement.
