Phoenix Springs
...a slippery exploration of memory, time and space grounded in Iris’s quest to uncover the mystery of what happened to her brother... This elliptical game dares not to bend over backward to explain itself...
The New York Times – A Philosophical Journey With Clicks of a Mouse
Phoenix Springs deals with the abstract, from its twist on genre mechanics to its narrative, and I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I’ve tried to find examples to compare it to and come up short. The point-and-click genre may never be the same, and neither will I.

Phoenix Springs is playable art, and I could see it fitting beautifully into a museum exhibit, especially because you could really start the game at any given point and still find it fulfilling.
Polygon – Phoenix Springs is a lesson in using negative space, both visually and narratively
