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.
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.
“Our small team is incredibly excited about releasing Phoenix Springs on September 16th,” said Jigmé Özer, Calligram Studio founder. “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!”
