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.

Swan Song - New Steam Next Fest Demo & Full game updates.

23 Feb

Hi everyone,

We just wanted to do a quick post about the Steam Next Fest! We just updated Swan Song with a new demo which fixes a lot of bugs, includes changes to the levels & updates some of the story & environment elements.

But before we get further into these changes & new screenshots, we wanted to ask everyone if you have played the demo previously to please leave a review on our demo page. Support like that will help us greatly during the Steam Next Fest, thank you!! 🥰🥰

Here is a quick list of most of these changes & fixes. We also address the question about saving some people talked about. 🦢🎶

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug that caused notes to trigger twice when the music box was playing right at the end of one of the soundtracks.
Fixed an issue with the music box staying shut when the swan failed a level.

Updates

Made changes to levels in chapter 2 & 3.
Added updated environments for chapter 0 - 3.
Updated some of the story elements with Voice acting, and removed/changed the position of others.
The Swan Song demo can now be played on MacOS!

Saving

We know there still isn't any saving. This feature will be in the final game though, so don't worry! You won't have to start over each time you launch the game, but you will be able to choose which level in what chapter you want to play (if you have previously played them) & will be able to continue your progress from a previous play session! 😁 Saving wasn't a big priority right now for us, since the demo is only 20 - 30min long right now and can be played in one short play session.

Some new screenshots from the full game

We also wanted to share some new screenshots with you from the full version of Swan Song, but didn't want to spoil too much! So here is one of the new environments you will get in one of the new chapters. As well as a new story object! Can anyone here guess which bands these logo's refer to? 👀

That's everything for now! We hope everyone enjoyed the demo and these new small screenshots we share. If you want to help us test the game even further, you can always join our community discord through the link below! We ofcourse put all our testers in the credits of the game as a way of saying thank you! 🥰

How long will the demo stay up?

How long you gonna keep this demo available? Only up till release date? Continuing past the release date? I ask because I want to fit it into my streaming schedule. Show it to my audience. So I wanna know exactly when it's disappearing.

A little Swan Song update!

12 Dec, 2025

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to make a little post about the current stage of development and talk about our Gamescom 2025 experience!

Swan Song is now in Beta!

Yes! We have now officially entered the beta stage with Swan Song. That means we are currently hard at work making content (levels, new platform types, implementing the rest of the story,...) after getting all systems set up during alpha. Because of that, we have some screenshots to share with you all! These screenshots showcase the updated environments in the first 3 chapters and some new mechanics that are slowly getting introduced in the next couple chapters! Can you guess what all of the new mechanics are and what they do?

We will be sharing more stuff in the coming weeks/months now that the behind the scenes stuff is mostly done and we can truly show all the cool new puzzle things we are implementing!

Updated environments

Can you guess what each new mechanic does?

Gamescom 2025

In short we can tell you that our Gamescom 2025 experience was absolutely fantastic! It was wonderfull to get to talk to so many of you who where excited about the game, hear your feedback and get to see people's first hand experience with the game!

Although it were 5 very tiring days, we got a lot of valuable feedback from showcasing the game at the Indie Arena Booth! We are very very gratefull that we got the opportunity to showcase Swan Song there, and it defenitely motivated us even more to deliver the best possible version of the game to all of you next year.

We uploaded a little after movie a few months back, but now only got around to really post about it just now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21U5hcDFIXAWe also got our first piece of fan art! Which was very exciting!! ♥♥

That's it for now! We want to thank you all again for wishlisting the game. checking it out during Gamescom 2025? Happy holidays from all of us here at Business Goose Studios! 🎄🦢

Cheers,

Sander, Beau & Jonathan

Demo Suggestion

Would it be possible for the musical notes to stay on the board instead of completely resetting after an unsuccessful run? I think it would make it easier to workshop a solution without having to completely restart each time. Other than that, I really enjoyed this demo! The puzzles and vibes were nice; a good mix of cozy and engaging without feeling frustrating. Looking forward to this one!...

Needs V-Sync

Awesome demo and a very emotional story, the screen tearing is annoying.

Lovely Demo; Edith and Swans, eh?

So I just finished the demo. It's very lovely. I'm glad the game doesn't have tutorial / handholding, because I think it'll take out of the magic of this game. The puzzle aspect is 'simple' enough that I can quickly pick it up the initial confusion. I love the slow challenging addition later in the levels. The music is very relaxing and it follows the mood of the story. I personally didn't care much for the story, not that it's not a lovely depiction of loss and regret and human emotions, but simply beca...
