Released way back in the naive days of 2012, The Unfinished Swan was a Playstation 3 puzzling explore ‘em up from Giant Sparrow, the devs who’d go on to release the fantastic Edith Finch five years later. For whatever reason, their feathery debut has finally landed on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
“While the game that follows is a satisfyingly twee Golden Book of a game, the first chapter lets the player’s imagination do the heavy lifting in a way games never do,” wrote Justin Clark. “The ink only provides a rudimentary outline for your world, and any sense of the overarching land comes entirely from within. It’s euphoric, that power. It stretches muscles that games don’t allow unless you’re playing a text adventure. Once the game starts filling in the blanks for you, giving the buildings shadows and color and concrete shapes, those muscles are laid to rest for the rest of the game.”
The Unfinished Swan is out now onSteamand theEpic Games Storeat 10% off, for £10.25/€11.24/$13.49.
