Press release:
Barcelona, Spain – June 1st, 2026 – Publisher Selecta Play is thrilled to announce a new publishing partnership with independent developer FYRE Games to bring the gripping, narratively-driven psychological horror title Project Songbird to retail stores. A physical edition for PlayStation 5 is officially set to launch globally later this year.
Following its successful digital debut, Project Songbird has captivated horror fans with its surreal, nightmarish atmosphere and cinematic approach to storytelling. Selecta Play will bring this intensely personal tale of creative madness to the physical realm, allowing collectors and horror enthusiasts to own a boxed edition of solo developer Conner Rush’s most ambitious project to date.
In this game, players step into the shoes of Dakota, a struggling musician who retreats to an isolated log cabin deep within the Appalachian forest to find a spark of creativity and record a new album. As Dakota scours the pristine, beautifully realized pines for inspiration, they soon discover a malicious presence lurking in the darkness—proving that not all inspirations are positive, and some creative processes carry a deadly cost.
Game Key Features:
A Gripping Psychological Narrative: Experience a dark, enthralling 4-5 hour surreal horror tale that explores the heavy tolls of creativity, keeping you guessing until the absolute end.
Cinematic, Film-Like Presentation: Traverse gorgeously detailed, diverse environments that seamlessly shift from serene natural landscapes into nightmarish, reality-bending locations.
Desperate Survival Combat: Engage in heart-pounding ranged and melee combat encounters with upgradeable weapons to survive the terrors of the Appalachian woods.
An All-Star Voice Cast: Immerse yourself in the story with stellar, emotionally raw performances from a highly-talented cast, starring Valerie Rose Lohman (What Remains of Edith Finch, Wolfenstein: Youngblood), Jonah Scott (Dying Light 2: Stay Human), and Aleks Le (Persona 3: Reload, Ghost of Yotei).
Haunting Original Soundtrack: Features a beautifully dynamic, eerie score composed and performed by Jacob Noska and Jonah Henthorne (members of the band Auric Echoes), anchoring the game’s deep musical identity.
