A truly original game

Today, as I had a free moment. I took a look at the PS3 on-line store. There was no particular reason, when I looked at the new demo’s, a title popped up at me, it was a game called ‘The unfinished Swan’.

It made me curious, and as it is a free demo, I downloaded it and took a look at the game. It starts so strangely. It is a white screen, and I mean WHITE! So for a second I was not sure what to do. When I pressed the trigger. A black ball shot out. It landed and the ball turned out to be ink. It was covering a wall. I shot all around me and soon it was clear I was in a corridor, and now I could follow it to wherever I was going. This is way unique!

The level only showed what I blasted in black, and too much black and I am back in a view where I cannot see anything. I got the hang of it and soon the corridor became a road, with a pond, stones, benches, statues and more. This is an entire new game. It is original and it draws you in. Of course, the demo only gives a small part, and as you go through this demo, you will soon see a small storyline emerge. It reads like a fairy-tale for kids (eh… I mean non-adult players).
This game is supported by PlayStation move, but it works just as well with the controller as far as I can tell. As it is free, I advise all with a PlayStation 3 and an internet connection to download it and have a go. Be aware that the download is 1.6 GB, so without broadband, do not attempt it.

This is not a shoot-em-up (unless it is a paint-ball game), and it look like it is fun for many, not just the young. This is an Original game in every sense, so I think we will hear a lot more of this game in the near future. What is a given, that looking back to 2012, no game this original had been released for some time, especially on the PS3, so it feels good that we get something more than a re-release or a second or third version of a game we already know.

Take a dip in this paint bucket and give the game a try. You might end up having a lot more fun then you bargained for!
