Project Songbird Sets March 26 Release on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC

The release-date trailer showcases a compact, cinematic horror centered on a musician’s creative struggle turning nightmarish in the Appalachian woods.

Overview

  • FYRE Games, led by solo developer Conner Rush of Summerland and We Never Left, confirmed the date alongside a new trailer.
  • Players inhabit Dakota, a career musician isolating in a remote cabin who confronts surreal threats tied to writer’s block.
  • The first-person experience targets a four-to-five hour runtime with ranged and melee combat, upgradeable weapons, and a permadeath system.
  • Voice performances feature Valerie Rose Lohman, Jonah Scott, and Aleks Le, anchoring the game’s narrative-driven presentation.
  • Coverage cites inspirations from narrative indies like Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch with darker echoes of Silent Hill and Alan Wake, with a soundtrack by Auric Echoes members Jacob Noska, Jonah Henthorne, and Erwin Dorsainville.
