An Industry Seal of Trust. An Alliance Forged.
Today, Rare Castle stands at a defining crossroads.
After years of quiet determination, relentless prototyping, and an unwavering belief in the power of healing games, we are proud to announce that Rare Castle is now an Official PlayStation Partner with Sony Interactive Entertainment.
This is not merely a technical achievement or a box to check. It is recognition. It is validation. It is the bridge between an independent dream born in Cairo in 2018 and one of the most influential ecosystems in interactive entertainment.
As an Official PlayStation Partner, Rare Castle gains privileged access to PlayStation’s professional development infrastructure — advanced tools, SDKs, technical support, certification resources, and a global network of trusted creators. This partnership positions our small studio among those shaping the future of console gaming and opens powerful new gateways for Project Escher.
Project Escher on PlayStation
Our flagship episodic cinematic psychological thriller — the first title in our revolutionary healing games genre — will now be able to reach PlayStation players with the fidelity, performance, and polish the experience deserves. From the Inner Monologue mechanic that pulls players directly into the protagonist’s mind, to the surreal, photorealistic worlds built in Unreal Engine, every element of Project Escher was designed to challenge the mind while nurturing the soul.
This alliance ensures that the strange, beautiful, and transformative journey we have been crafting will shine on PlayStation hardware.
From the Castle to the World
For a solo-founded indie studio from Egypt to earn this status is proof that powerful ideas do not need massive teams or big budgets — they only need heart, vision, and persistence.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Sony Interactive Entertainment team for believing in an unconventional approach to game design and for welcoming an independent voice from the MENA region into the PlayStation family.
To every Guardian of the Castle, every follower who has read our dev logs, shared our updates, and kept the dream alive — this moment belongs to you.
The castle is no longer rising in silence.
It has been seen.
The gateways are opening wider than ever. Project Escher is moving forward with renewed momentum, and healing games are coming to PlayStation.
Stay with us. The real journey is just beginning.
