A Short Description
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.
How does it work?
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.
The Story
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.
Swan Song's future free updates
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!

Level Editor WIP: Join the playtest!
Hi everyone,Glad to see so many new players for Swan Song! We hope all of you are enjoying the game so far! 🥰In this post we quickly wanted to update everyone on the current progress of the level editor. We have made very good progress with the implementation of the chapter creation menu. Below we have a small in-engine video of what the progress currently looks like. Please note that all UI elements and the screwdriver are still placeholder and will have a lot more feedback and polish added to them. The video below that showcases what creating a level would be like through the 3 different layers (Obstacles, Platforms & Details).But how will the level editor work?You will be able to publish your creations on the steam workshop when the full release is out. But it is not just one level you will push. Because Swan Song works with chapters, players will be able to create their own chapters of max 4 levels each. So you could upload a chapter with just 1 level, but also with a max of 4 levels. This way we can give you some freedom do to a theme around your chapters (all rotating platforms, only 1 color,... for example). When creating a new chapter you will be able to give it a name, add and remove levels, change the created level order, edit these individual levels & choose the background music & theme for your chapter. In the levels themselves you will have the freedom to place all the elements a level requires, platforms, obstacles (like hunters, trampolines,...) and the detail gears below.Help us test the Level Editor!We will be testing the level editor in the coming weeks through our discord community. If you want to have an early go with the editor itself, give us some valuable feedback, and play some community made levels, join our discord through this link to get notified when we need testers: https://discord.com/invite/hyEhfENBQN That's all for now! Thanks again for the continued support, and we hope you will enjoy the level editor in the future (and the new puzz...Read full article on Community Announcements (business goose studios)Patch NotesOfficial
Swan Song 1.1.1: Secret level fixes
Hi everyone, We received some bug reports after the latest patch so we got them all fixed up for you! Fixed bug where the level wouldn't reset when the swan was standing on a trampoline, and you destroyed the breaking platform underneath. This only seemed to occur in one of the new secret levels. Fixed missing translations for "Level Editor Coming Soon". Fixed issue with new secret levels not having the correct saving data. This caused the achievement for unlocking all of them to be unobtainable. Please note that this means you will have to manually unlock the 2 new secret levels (1 in Ch. 6 and 1 in Ch. 3) again through the cryptic puzzles. This is because the correct save data hasn't been made yet for you, if you previously unlocked these levels during the previous update! Sorry for the inconveniece! We will keep you posted on any other fixes we might do, and about the progress with the level editor of course!

Swan Song 1.1: QOL & Secret levels!
Hey everyone,We have got a lot of quality of life changes & some new levels for you! Down below you'll find a list with everything that has changed and added:Added 2 new secret levels.Made changes to the overall level selection, to make it clearer which levels are locked, unlocked and that you can select a level if you want.Secret levels you previously unlocked can now be played directly through the level selection.Added the options button to the level select menu.Added a secret level counter to the level select. This way you can see where you still need to unlock a secret level (only visible after finding all the necessary elements to start playing secret levels). Added the screwdriver to the toolbelt. This will be used to get into the level editor in the future, buy you can't interact with it yet.PLEASE NOTE: If you have previously played all other secret levels and unlocked the achievement, the counters in each chapter will still showcase 0/1, 0/2,... This is because the data for these unlocks is new save data you don't have yet. If you launch a secret level by playing the correct melody, these counters will get filled in.Level Editor UpdateOn launch we posted about the upcoming level editor feature! We are still hard at work getting that feature ready for you. Below you'll find a slightly updated look at where we are currently at. If you would like to help us test this feature, we will start to test it somewhere in August with our community on our community discord! Join here is you would like to help us test -> https://discord.com/invite/hyEhfENBQN In the level editor you will be able to make your own chapters & levels, and share them on the steam workshop.
