Accolades trailer debuts for cozy puzzle game Swan Song
The accolades trailer has premiered for Business Goose Studios' cozy puzzle game Swan Song. The independently developed title is situated inside a magical music box. By placing notes on a musical scale and turning the key, players can activate platforms and open paths to guide a small swan to safety.

Business Goose previously collaborated with composer Jamal Green on the studio's debut title, puzzle-exploration game Sizeable. The musician's previously published game scores, including TOEM, Skelatack, and Bilkins' Folly, are available through streaming platforms.

Swan Song Original Soundtrack is now available via Bandcamp and Steam. The relaxing, melancholic album features performers Carmel Comiskey on cello and Aidan Payne on guitar, with vocals by Taylor Pollock. Album mastering is by Stella Massonnet, with cover art by studio co-founder Beau Vankemenade.


Additional free updates are planned following launch. The latest roadmap entry from the developer offers a breakdown of the upcoming level editor: "You will be able to chose from all the platforms, notes & obstacles that are in the main game, decorate the box with gears, and chose what environment & background music will play when people play your custom chapter."

Swan Song for Windows PC and MacOS is hosted on Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck. A free demo is available for both operating systems. A console port is currently in development for Nintendo Switch.


From the Steam product page:
Swan Song is a cozy puzzle game that invites you to slow down, listen, and reflect. Set inside a magical music box, each puzzle asks players to place notes on a musical scale. When you turn the key, the composition plays, activating platforms and opening paths that guide a small swan to safety.
