You may have heard that the highly anticipated neo-noir mystery Phoenix Springs has been delayed from this month to the next. As disappointing as this may be, bear in mind that it's one of my top picks for the year, and an extra few weeks will be worth it.

Thanks to everyone who has shown such enthusiasm for our game since we announced it and we hope you’re OK to just wait a little bit longer to play Phoenix Springs... We needed some extra time to get the game ready for release, so we made the decision to delay the game until October 7th. Thank you for your patience! – Jigmé Özer, Calligram Studio founder

Phoenix Springs follows reporter Iris Dormer as she reconnects with her estranged brother, only to find herself at the titular desert oasis home of an enigmatic community.

Unfortunately, the demo is no longer available, nor is my earlier quote on Steam as the big boys have eyes on this potential masterpiece. You have until the 7th of October 2024 to get your backlog sorted and dedicate your time to this.
