Adventure Gamers 2013 Reader’s Choice Awards
by Cesar Bittar on Feb.12, 2014, under cognition, face noir
Today Adventure Gamers opened the Reader’s Choice poll, and once again we were lucky enough to make the list, though this time Cognition is accompanied by Face Noir as both games are eligible for nominations. This time around both titles are included in every category with the exception of Best Comedy and Best Console/Handheld Exclusive.
We are all thrilled and humbled to see to see Cognition and Face Noir being nominated among such greats as the Walking Dead and Brothers: A Tale of Two sons.
It’s an honor to be considered in the same group as these titles, so we’d like thank Adventure Gamers and most importantly, thank all of you who have supported us thus far. Finally, good luck to all adventure game designers, you have helped bring about the Adventure Gaming Renaissance.
Cognition Nominated for Aggie Award!
by Cesar Bittar on Feb.07, 2014, under cognition, news
Cognition: Episodes 2-4 have been nominated for the Best Gameplay Aggie Award at Adventure Gamers. Back when Erica herself was nothing more than a draft on a sheet of paper, we didn’t know what to expect, it was going to be Phoenix’ first commercial title! Will it resonate with the community? Or will it be nothing more than an obscure adventure game?
Well, thanks to the amazing support the community have given us Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller is still played, mentioned and nominated for awards even a year after its debut launch and it’s all thanks to you!
The Aggie Award winners will be known between February 19-21, keep your fingers crossed everyone!
Happy Birthday Jane Jensen!

Published novelist, videogame designer, writer, creator and industry legend. These are just some of the many feats Jane Jensen has accomplished in her life and today we celebrate her birthday!
Born on January 28th, 1963 Jane went on to create the acclaimed Gabriel Knight series, her work and influence in King’s Quest VI led to it becoming one of the highest praised titles in the series.
We are both lucky and humbled to have received Jane’s help when working on Cognition and we’re even luckier to be working on both Moebius and the 20th Anniversary Edition of Gabriel Knight with her. Happy Birthday, Jane, we hope you’re having a good one!
