    Project Songbird is a short psychological horror experience that focuses on telling a personal story rather than throwing jumpscares your way.

    If Project Songbird sets out to do one thing, it's pointing out how hard it can be for a developer to please everybody and ultimately end up with a passion project bogged down by undercooked concepts. Conner Rush's love child often teeters between artistically brilliant and genuinely creepy, and mildly disappointing due to frustrating combat/stealth sequences. In the end, going with less could have resulted in so much more.

    A medley of influences inform a somewhat messy patchwork of gameplay ideas that serves as the foundation for a genuinely moving story, but that story’s interjection into – rather than integration with – your experience can end up making you resent rather than enjoy it.
