Business Goose Studios, the Belgian indie team behind Swan Song, has released a playable demo of their upcoming puzzle adventure, and it’s every bit as calming as it sounds. Available now on Steam, the demo lets players experience the opening chapters of a game built around music, puzzles, and quiet storytelling.
A puzzle game that asks you to listen
Set inside a magical, ancient music box, Swan Song blends simple puzzle mechanics with musical creativity. Each level asks players to place notes on a scale and then wind up the music box. As the melody plays, platforms shift and paths unlock, guiding a small swan safely back to its nest.
It’s a clever twist on puzzle design that trades stress for reflection, inviting players to take their time, experiment, and let the music guide them forward.
More than puzzles
While the core mechanics revolve around melody and movement, Swan Song is also quietly telling a story. Themes of family, loss, and acceptance run through the experience, with the demo offering a first glimpse of the emotional journey to come.
The soft, low-poly visuals add to the atmosphere, with a warm, handcrafted style that feels more like a diorama than a digital puzzle box. Paired with a soothing original score by acclaimed composer Jamal Green, the game creates a meditative space that’s as much about mood as it is about challenge.
Swan Song key features include
- Experiment with musical notes to solve puzzles
- Help a small swan reach its nest in each level
- Relax with a warm low-poly art style
- Enjoy an original soundtrack by Jamal Green
- Experience a quiet narrative about family, loss, and acceptance
