It's been an incredible opportunity to introduce "the prettiest detective game ever" to a mind-blowingly huge audience.
Here's the big news:
Release date: September 16th
PC, Mac, Linux
Release trailer has been added to the Steam page.

I will compile a list of FAQs and post the answers in a community post. In the meantime, feel free to ask anything here or on Twitter.
It's finally happening, folks!
Calligram
Point and click your way through Phoenix Springs, a desert oasis, home to a mysterious community. Explore lush ruins. Meet a rich cast of characters. Reveal the truth about the place, the myths, and, ultimately, yourself.
FAQ
How long is Phoenix Springs?
We estimate you will complete it in 2-4 hours on average. You can race through though the story or attempt to piece everything together at your own pace.
How do you play?
It's a modern take on the classic point-and-click. You play with a mouse only. LOOK AT, TALK TO, or USE everything on screen. Your inventory gathers leads and clues. To progress, you must connect these clues with the world around you or ask questions in conversation.
Any tips before I start playing?
Sure! Double-click to run. If you're stuck, use a clue on yourself to remember what it's about.
Who are you anyway?
Calligram studio is a three-person operation. We're independent in every sense of the word. This is our first game (and hopefully, the first of many).
