By Rock, Paper, Shotgun October 7

“A point-and-click that may share its genre predecessors frustrations, but Phoenix Springs’ striking art style and poetic storytelling makes it feel like an entirely contemporary detective tale.”

Reviews

“...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...”
The Gamer

“...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...”
ScreenRant

“A point and click detective game for the 21st century”
The Guardian

About This Game



After the 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.



Inspired by classic point-and-click games, Phoenix Springs updates the genre for the modern player with intuitive controls and a streamlined UI.

Conduct your investigation by collecting clues and leads in your inventory rather than physical objects. Connect these clues with the environment or mention them in conversations to progress. Discard false leads and red herrings as you solve logical puzzles designed to challenge and delight fans of story-rich interactive experiences.
