Phoenix Springs review: A dazzling and disquieting sci-fi mystery
Phoenix Springs captivates with its art and story, blending point-and-click puzzles with a lush, eerie narrative.

Phoenix Springs is a point-and-click sci-fi mystery game created by Calligram Studio, offering players a unique blend of art and narrative. The protagonist, Iris Dormer, navigates a futuristic world to search for her brother Leo, unraveling a story filled with poetic narration and vivid imagery.
The game captivates with its contrasting settings—from bleak cityscapes to vibrant desert oases—and employs mechanics like a mental inventory to combine clues and interact with characters. Iris' stoic narration weaves the story together, with her cadence and perspective adding depth to each scene.
Highly praised for its art direction, sound, and voice acting, Phoenix Springs offers a comprehensive narrative experience. It stands out by successfully melding cyberpunk elements with intricate storytelling, demanding players' attention as they explore its neo-noir world.
