A couple of weeks ago, a select few press outlets got their hands on the first act of Phoenix Springs. Were extremely grateful to all the journalists who took the time to play and write about our little experiment.
Here is a selection of our favourite quotes:
TheGamer"somehow manages the impossible in that it pays homage to the past while simultaneously embracing the future with a sleek, modern style and reimagining of classic point-and-click tropes"
ScreenRant"...feels a little like Disco Elysium (...) as it's both our world and our time, but also not of our world and not of our time. There's something intoxicating about that setup..."
GodIsAGeek"Im already hooked. Its a point-and-click adventure that manages to streamline the investigative side to make it accessible, but the challenge is still threaded throughout everything you do."
Reminder that you can submit a key request for the big launch here.
We can't wait to hear what you all make of the whole game.
Calligram Studio
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).
