Last two events before (we hope) the big news.

London Games Festival official selection (Best of British)

A MAZE Berlin nomination (Gender Diversity Award presented by WINGS)

We won't make it to the UK capital but will be in Berlin in person May 8th-12th. Do come say hi if you're about .

Come ask questions about the game during the Storyteller's Festival.

Rock Paper Shotgun listed Phoenix Springs as one of its 75 most anticipated games of 2024.
You can find the full list here, which includes some great projects we're excited to play ourselves.





In other news, we'll be showcasing the demo in person at the Debug Indie Game Awards in Nottingham on February 2nd. If you're around, please do come and say hi!

Hi there,

over the past few months, we've been incredibly lucky to get to showcase the Phoenix Springs demo around the world. There was WASDxIGN in London, SXSW in Sydney, and IndieX in Lisbon.



Its been a true privilege to chat with players, press, and fellow developers. Not only has the reception been fantastic, but were also pleased to announce that the last event culminated in us ]winning our first award for Best Art Direction!




The award is of course dedicated to the talented artists in the team, namely Eleanor for her illustrations and animations, Alex for his sound design, and Alexandra for her voice work.

It's also a great time to thank IndieX and all of you for your continued support

We're back at work on the game, more or less full-time. Today, Alexandra delivered her ten-thousandth recorded word as Iris Dormer. Alex is mixing her lines as we speak. We also exported a timelapse of one of Eleanor's animations. It might give you an idea of the amount of work that goes into a one-second clip.


[h2]Thank You[/h2]

As always, thanks for your support and patience as we continue crafting the game. And to answer the big question: still no release date, but it's coming :)

Best,

Calligram Studio

Important announcement!

We will shortly delete Phoenix Springs: Prologue from Steam.

Apologies for the change of heart especially if you took the time to write a lovely review.

We simply found that having a demo on the main page makes more sense. The Prologue and Demo are identical, so it was redundant and confusing. Hope it doesn't mess up your Steam libraries too much.

So this page will be your main destination for Phoenix Springs news from now on.

You can also subscribe to the newsletter on our website at calligramstudio.com

I will be answering any questions below if you have any.
We can't wait to let you into the world of Phoenix Springs.

Calligram Studio.

Yesterday, SixOneIndie premiered our official trailer as part of its Summer Showcase.

This is what they had to say about it: Just when you've seen it all, a game like Phoenix Springs rolls around and totally blows you away with its storytelling and aesthetic.

Which was nice. Anyway, here is the trailer, we hope you like it :)

You can finally tweak the in-game settings, including:

Resolution
Texture quality
VSync
Full Screen On/Off

+ A handy (approximate) FPS counter

Let's hope we didn't break anything

Whereupon we attempt to answer more questions than during our previous live AMA which totalled zero Qs and saw us recommend demos from other cool games instead.

When will Phoenix Springs be released?
Who does the voice?
What's up with the weird kid on Taibao Street?

All your questions answered live.

You can now play the first act of Phoenix Springs for free!

It's available here on Steam or itch.io

If you get the chance, please leave a review because it helps us a ton.
We'd also love to hear your feedback, thoughts, questions anything goes!
