The Unfinished Swan is a rather interesting computer game under development. I think the current gameplay trailer leaves something to be desired (something genuinely threatening, instead of implied, for example), but still looks really interesting.

It does look pretty intresting, it reminds me strongly of portal(i think mostly because of the whole hidden message thing.) Do you happen to know if it's just supposed to be a puzzle game?

It definitely does remind me of Portal, and will probably fill a similar (although less funny and more creepy) niche.

All anyone (other than the designers) knows is what that website tells us. Although the game clearly couldn't support full fledged combat with hordes of enemies, I think eventually having a "stalker" hunting you would be awesomely creepy. The trailer would have perfect if the last scene had been in the black room, with a blotch of white paint appearing on a face that slowly turns to look at you....

I was actually thinking that a clear splatter of red(blood) would end the trailer when i was watching it, the sharp contrast would have been pretty cool after all the black and white.
