Shanghai, China – February 18, 2025 – SpaceJazz Games today congratulated Folklore Games on Spiral’s nominations at the 2025 Canadian Game Awards, recognizing the narrative exploration title among Canada’s standout independent releases.
Spiral launched on Steam and Xbox on September 20, 2024. Players guide Bernard through nineteen memories as cognitive decline reshapes his world — a premise Folklore Games approaches with quiet environments, bilingual voice acting, and exploration-driven storytelling rather than spectacle. The Canadian Game Awards nominations place that approach alongside some of the year’s most discussed indie and mid-size Canadian releases.
Since launch, Spiral has maintained a Very Positive Steam rating, with players frequently citing its emotional clarity and the care taken with Bernard’s supporting cast. SpaceJazz Games partnered as China publisher for the release, supporting regional marketing and player outreach.
“Award nominations of this kind speak to the craft and courage of Folklore’s team,” SpaceJazz Games stated. “We’re proud to have helped Spiral reach players in China and delighted to see the game celebrated at home in Canada.”
