Swan Song Opens Its Magical Music Box Today!

4 JUNE 2025 - Belgian indie developer Business Goose Studios has been turning the key on their music box for weeks now and is finally ready to pop it open. Swan Song is out now on Steam.

Swan Song – Launch Trailer:

Swan Song is a calming puzzle game set inside a mysterious music box, where you place notes on a scale to compose melodies that guide a little swan safely back to its nest. With warm visuals and a soothing soundtrack by acclaimed composer Jamal Green (known for TOEM), Swan Song blends clever puzzle design with emotional storytelling.

At its heart, Swan Song is grounded in reality. The story is inspired by a true personal family experience from one of the developers at Business Goose Studios. While deeply personal, the narrative has been carefully crafted to resonate with everyone who has gone through similar experiences. This is not just one person's story, but a shared one.
