About


Project Songbird is a first-person cinematic narrative psychological horror game from Conner Rush and his studio FYRE Games, the developer behind the critically praised games Summerland and We Never Left (from Dread X Collection 5). Take control of Dakota, a career musician who, amidst writer's block, decides to isolate themself in a cabin in the remote Appalachian forest in order to record their next album. Take in this gripping tale, explore the natural environment and haunting dreamscapes, and fight to survive in this short horror experience.

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: Reload, 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


Hi, everyone! This is Conner. I just wanted to briefly say thank you for checking out my game and an extra special thank you to anyone who's supported me in any way throughout the creation of it. This is by far the most personal game I've ever made, and I think that'll be easy to see for anybody who plays through it. Much of the process for making this game involved just trying a bunch of weird ideas, and I think that, in the end, it all came together really well. No matter what, I'm proud of it, and I'm very happy to have made it. I hope it can help you in the way that it's helped me. Thank you!
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. Just keep in mind that I'm a solo developer and will respond to the best of my ability :)

Wow, this was a game I’m happy to have played. I enjoyed the story and the meta narrative, and can definitely relate to the loss of passion. Sure, the combat was a bit frustrating, but I thought the way it’s discussed later was a nice touch.
4/10
NICE STORY ITS A HORROR FORSHO
Nice narrative !
the story for this game was great would recommend.
A game that speaks to all the folks who create - games, art, music, etc.
grief expressed through art 10/10
Songbird is an outstanding indie horror experience, the concept is fresh, the atmosphere is unsettling yet familiar, and the graphics maintain a unique art style a cut above the usual mid detail blender assets we see in a lot of indie work these days. I would argue that the cut to Connor in the third quarter of the story takes away from the narrative of the game while trying to bring attention to artistic struggles, I just couldn’t post this without mentioning it. I was so immersed and on the edge of my seat to find out more about the witch just to get pulled out of it, I just really wish it could have waited until the end of the story I think it would have enhanced the experience.
exquisite game. 9.5/10.
The music, and story were all made well. W
