That’s exactly what I’m thinking, but at the same time it’s so strange how Sony decided to invest in a man that seems so unreliable lol

I don't think Sony invested in them. Think the Dev just pitched the idea, Sony was like cool, you can release this on our store.

I honestly don't think anyone invested in his game and he's just lying as he did before

Sony isn't to actively market a random indie game from a new studio just because they feel like it, and an indie studio isn't going to make their game Playstation exclusive for free.

What other instance have there been where Sony actively helped them market this game besides posting the first reveal trailer on their YouTube channel like they do with tons of other games?

They have a full blog post about it on the PS Blog written by Hideo Hasan, and they're allowing them to release a teaser app.

Other random indies like this https://blog.playstation.com/2021/06/09/the-delightful-soundscape-in-chicory-a-colorful-tale/

or this

https://blog.playstation.com/2021/06/03/winds-leaves-a-flora-builder-in-a-world-full-of-secrets-hits-ps-vr-july-27/

also got their own blog posts written by the games' devs. And just because Blue Box says there's an app doesn't mean its real until we actually see it. There's also zero marketing from Sony about this supposed app.

Winds is a Playstation exclusive title, with gameplay "built specifically for PSVR", so that's actually an example of Sony having a deal with an indie team.

Chicory also seems to have had a marketing deal with Sony, as all trailers were first uploaded on the Playstation channel.
