What Happens When Creativity Turns Against You? - Project Songbird Launches March 26
Publisher DOJO System and independent U.S. developer FYRE Games today announced that Project Songbird, a cinematic first-person psychological horror experience created by Conner Rush, will launch on March 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
A Horror Experience That Doesn’t Need to Shout
Project Songbird isn’t built around cheap scares or constant sensory overload. It operates differently.
Set deep in the Appalachian wilderness, the game follows Dakota, a professional musician, retreating to a remote cabin in an attempt to break through a creative block. What begins as isolation slowly becomes something more intimate - and more unsettling.
The fear in Project Songbird doesn’t erupt. It settles in.
Through deliberate pacing, restrained sound design, and carefully composed environments, the game creates a tension that feels personal. It leans into stillness. It trusts silence. And in doing so, it builds an atmosphere that lingers long after the screen goes dark.
Rather than overwhelm the player, it draws them inward - until the unease becomes unavoidable.
A Deeply Personal Vision
Creator Conner Rush, founder of FYRE Games, has approached Project Songbird as an auteur project. One rooted in emotional vulnerability and artistic struggle. The narrative explores themes of isolation, creative paralysis, and the fragile line between inspiration and obsession.
Drawing influence from independent cinema and modern atmospheric horror, Rush has crafted an experience that feels intentional and controlled. Every environment, every moment of stillness, every sonic detail serves the emotional arc.
This is psychological horror shaped by restraint, not excess.
