Phoenix Online Studios is a game development company dedicated to making compelling, cutting-edge, and generally awesome adventure games. Established in 2004, Phoenix began as a group of King's Quest fans from around the world who came together to create an unofficial sequel to the series. The resulting project, The Silver Lining, earned widespread community support and withstood two cease-and-desist orders to become one of the most ambitious fan projects ever made. In 2012, after completing four Silver Lining episodes, the team shifted their focus to commercial projects with Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller. Cognition debuted in October 2012 and is currently releasing episodically for PC and Mac, with iPad versions coming soon.
