What about the seal at the bottom...?

A very well known developer, whose name MegaGames can't divulge, has decided to leave out the boring announcement part, and instead release a set of cryptic clues, a poem really, to lead gamers to the name of the game. More than that, some rewards are in order for the one solving all the riddles.

The developer has probably stage fright, as it doesn't want to announce the game, wouldn't you say so? Kidding of course. Anyway, as I'm sure you'd want to be the one solving all the clues, here's the poem.

# A GRIM, ODD, ARCANE SKY
ANY GOD, I MARK SACRED
A MASKED CRY ADORING
A DREAMY,
SICK DRAGON

Looks like there are some words pointing to an RPG or an RTS: "god," "dragon." But the words "masked" and "grim" could also indicate another installment of Zorro. Nah!

What? Did you think it was going to be easy? Actually, if we're to take the developer's word for it, it shouldn't be that hard to solve either. The developer says that the poem contains all the information required to unravel the mystery, but that will only be possible if you take a look at the original. To your left you have the actual sheet of paper (or virtual sheet of paper anyway), containing not only the poem, but additional clues too.

Who knows, maybe those nasty stains are the key. Anyway, there's also a website to visit, which is even more convoluted than the poem, as MegaGames says, but quite fun and addictive to tackle nonetheless. As for the rewards, whoever solves the word-puzzle will be awarded some concept art and also a link to an inactive forum or something like that.
