The three games
Creative Intelligence Arts launched a squad-based JRPG on Kickstarter on 12 August 2013. It raised $1,014,600 from 15,802 people and has still not shipped. In July 2026 the director said the team is funding the work itself and wants development finished at the end of 2031. That is not a store date.
STuNT released a different Project Phoenix on Steam on 20 June 2024. It is a first-person horror puzzle in an abandoned Soviet bunker, Windows only, priced at US$0.99. On 12 November 2026 the Steam page still showed 41 reviews and 58 percent positive, which Steam labels Mixed.
FloorCat, published by Samar Studio, is making a third game, also on Steam, with the Chinese name 涅槃计划. The full game is listed as coming soon. A free demo arrived on 10 November 2026 and moved to version 0.3.69 the next day. It is a top-down survival sandbox, not the bunker horror game.
What changed lately
The newest dated items I kept are the 涅槃计划 demo on 10 November 2026, Discord’s official Rust rewrite video on 7 November 2026, and Meta’s 23 September 2026 announcement that Project Phoenix is now Meta VR Glasses. The JRPG’s Kickstarter page shows a last update of 21 October 2026.
If you searched because a friend said “the phoenix project,” you may want the novel instead. The book page covers the plot, the Three Ways, and how it sits next to The Goal. Character lists for the novel and the JRPG are different pages on purpose.
