Calligram Studio, a collective of three based in the UK and France, has released its much-anticipated neo-noir mystery game, Phoenix Springs, on PC. The game is available for £14.99 / $19.99 and offers an engaging investigative narrative with hand-drawn art.

Phoenix Springs follows reporter Iris Dormer as she reconnects with her estranged brother and finds herself in Phoenix Springs, a desert oasis with a mysterious community. Players collect clues and leads in the game's inventory, connecting them with the environment or mentioning them in fully voice-acted conversations to progress. The game features logical puzzles designed to challenge and delight fans of story-rich interactive experiences.

Phoenix Springs has received numerous accolades, 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.

In Phoenix Springs, players explore ancient ruins, interrogate a rich cast of characters, and uncover the mysteries that connect the place, the myths, and themselves. The game offers a modern point-and-click experience where players collect clues and leads rather than physical objects.

Calligram Studio, a three-person team, describes themselves as an art collective, reflecting their fluid structure and approach to computer games. They are currently working on their first game, Phoenix Springs. The game is available on Steam, and more information about Calligram Studio can be found on their website and social media channels.
