Swan Song is a cozy and emotional puzzle game. Use notes of different shapes and sizes to program a music box and solve each puzzle. Help the swan reach the exit as you uncover a touching story of family, loss and grief.
Each puzzle is a piece of music waiting to be written. Place musical notes on your scale. Their position determines which platforms activate when the melody plays. Once you’ve composed your solution, turn the key and let the music guide the swan through the level.
Perfect timing and thoughtful placement are the keys to success. Between puzzles, a touching narrative slowly unfolds, revealing the story of the music box’s creator and the family it was made for.
You discover an old, mysterious music box filled with personal artifacts. This was the creator’s final masterpiece, his “swan song”. Lovingly crafted as a tribute to his family.
With every puzzle you solve, fragments of his story come to light. What happened to the family? What secrets does the box hold? Let the music lead you through a story of grief, memories & regret.
CONTENT WARNING:
Please be aware that the story of Swan Song deals with themes of death & terminal illness.
We will update Swan Song with some free updates in the months after release. These of course include some bug fixes, but we also have some additional content planned! Later this year you can expect to get your hands on the level editor, so you can create your own levels and share them on the steam workshop. This level editor will also get some updates with platforms and additional mechanics never seen in the main story! We will also be working on proper controller & better Steam Deck support. A console release of Swan Song is something we really want to do! We are working on it, but don't have an exact release plan for it yet. Stay tuned for more!

Cosy puzzle game, with a touching story that hits a little too close to home.
Good little puzzle game with new mechanics being introduced each chapter. Story is nothing new but it also doesnt hurt the game.
生离死别之后造出的这个神秘音乐盒,老爹你还是个天才啊! 精致的小品解密游戏,很有趣。
A simple and well crafted puzzle game with clear direction and mechanics. I can't say the interstitials and story added much here but did not detract from the experience.
Really neat puzzles involving guiding a swan through a series of music box levels!
Swan Song é um jogo que eu vi a primeira vez durante algum dos eventos de jogos da Microsoft se não estou enganado, o jogo inicialmente chamou minha atenção pela simplicidade e pelo estilo único, e de fato, após jogar o jogo eu mantenho essa mesma opinião, o jogo é único e criativo à sua maneira. A gameplay do jogo é basicamente uma sequência de puzzles em uma caixinha de música, ele realmente utiliza o elemento da caixinha de música e você coloca ali as notas musicais pra tocar e as peças da caixinha vão se movendo conforme as notas que você colocou, e no fim das contas você precisa levar o cisne do ponto A ao ponto B, a cada capítulo vão sendo adicionadas ou alteradas as mecânicas do jogo, adicionando cada vez mais complexidade aos puzzles, achei tudo de muito bom gosto, a criatividade da gameplay é muito boa, além de utilizar muito bem os elementos narrativos pra complementar a gameplay, esse ponto do jogo é o que mais chama atenção. Visualmente nada salta muito aos olhos de fato, ele tem um estilo próprio, mas nada impressionante, graficamente o jogo é bem comum e pouco chamativo, esse definitivamente não é um foco principal do jogo. A história também é bem simples, toda a narrativa gira em torno da Edith, a protagonista, e sua família, lentamente o jogo vai te dando certos elementos que vão te fazendo juntar todos os pontos da história e aí você alinha tudo conforme o jogo passa, tenho que por ênfase aqui nas cartas finais do Tristan, pai da Edith, que foram bem emocionantes, o contexto geral da vida da Edith e a dificuldade de seu pai em ter contato com ela me foram muito tocantes e vou lembrar dessas coisas com carinho. A trilha sonora é onde o jogo acerta bastante, músicas muito marcantes e simples ao mesmo tempo, nada muito extravagante, a música do menu fica na cabeça e os sons durante a gameplay são satisfatórios, é algo esperado de um jogo que é muito ligado a música, mas como é um jogo menor tenho que prestigiar a qualidade. Em conclusão, Swan Song é um jogo indie bem simples mas muito criativo e diferente, suas mecânicas únicas de gameplay com certeza o tornam muito marcante como um jogo e sua história, apesar de simples também, é muito humana e tocante à sua maneira, acredito que o jogo entrega tudo que ele se propõe e faz isso com qualidade tendo uma duração certa pra não ser uma experiência longa demais ou exaustiva, por isso dou a ele um 10/10, uma ótima indicação pra quem gosta de puzzles.
Touching story brought in a beautiful, puzzly way.
非常好玩,只是头总会不自觉往右歪,玩久了脖子疼。
I bought the soundtrack on bandcamp before i bought the game, it's BEAUTIFUL. The story, the sound, the puzzles, everything about it is thought out and meaningful. Some of the levels are truly quite difficult too! The way the levels and steps you have to take develops can make the last few of each chapter challenging in the best way. This is a truly lovely game with a lot of character to it.
