An Emotional Journey Awaits in PHi: The Broken Strings
Kyrel Games has announced that PHi: The Broken Strings is coming to Steam on 27 March 2025. The Kickstarter campaign will also be live in April as well. This game is a 3D puzzle platformer where emotions shape the world around you. It is planned to release on PS5 and Nintendo Switch as well, so stay tuned for more updates.
In the game, you awaken as a lost boy in a mysterious puppet realm, drawn forward by an unseen force. The walls whisper forgotten memories, and each puzzle isn’t just a challenge—it’s a reflection of emotions you must navigate.
As you venture deeper, guided by a voice you can’t fully trust, you begin to wonder: Are you shaping this world, or is it shaping you? Every level takes you through a different feeling. Some places wrap you in sorrow, holding you in heavy silence. Others twist into anxious, shifting labyrinths where nothing stays the same. But as you push forward, hope flickers, resilience builds, and nostalgia offers a quiet sense of comfort. This isn’t just a game—it’s an exploration of what it means to feel.
Key Features:
– Emotion-driven puzzles: Solve challenges that test more than just logic; they tap into real emotions.
– Handcrafted environments: Every level is carefully designed to evoke a distinct emotional experience.
– A thought-provoking story: Inspired by real-life emotions and personal struggles.
– A world built on metaphors: A surreal yet deeply relatable universe waiting to be explored.
PHi is still a prototype, and there’s a lot to build such as expanding the world, refining gameplay, and making sure everything runs smoothly. With just six people on the Kyrel Games team, your support can help bring it all to life. So, show some love in its Kickstarter campaign when it goes live in April.
