FYRE Games has announced its next “cinematic, psychological horror” title, Project Songbird, is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox on March 26th.
Project Songbird will be self-published on PC, with Dojo System taking publishing duties on consoles. This one is said to be inspired by titles like Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch, while also channelling games like Alan Wake and Silent Hill, says the team. There’s a strong focus on narrative, but there is also combat, with voice talent including Rose Lohman (What Remains of Edith Finch), Jonah Scott (Dying Light 2: Stay Human), and Aleks Le (Persona 3: Reloaded).
Set deep beneath the isolating canopy of the Appalachian forest, Project Songbird is a grippingly, surreal and psychological tale which explores the dark side of the creative process. Players will take on the role of Dakota, a struggling career musician who, while suffering from writer’s block, heads to a remote log cabin to record their new album. As they search amongst the pines for a spark of creativity, they soon discover something more lurks in the darkness – and that not all inspirations are positive.
With a strong-focus on narrative, cinematic presentation and player immersion, Project Songbird effortlessly juxtaposes picturesque, naturalistic environments with surrealist nightmarescapes. Stunning voice performances from a highly-talented cast will pull players headfirst into this dark tale, while tactile and heart-pounding combat encounters will keep them on their toes.
Here’s the key features:
- A dark, enthralling 4-5 hour narrative to keep you hooked and guessing until the end.
- Gorgeous visuals as you traverse numerous and diverse environments, presented with a cinematic, film-like aesthetic.
- Ranged and melee combat with upgradeable weapons to help you survive your nightmarish journey.
- A stellar voice cast, starring Valerie Rose Lohman (What Remains of Edith Finch, Wolfenstein: Youngblood), Jonah Scott (Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Date Everything), and Aleks Le (Persona 3: Reloaded, Marvel Rivals, Ghost of Yotei).
- A beautifully dynamic and haunting soundtrack composed and performed by Jacob Noska, and Jonah Henthorne: members of the band Auric Echoes.
