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:

\n
\n

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.

Quotes from the Press & Creators

Here is what some early reviews have to say:

"The puzzle design is strong, and the visual presentation is beautiful. A unique and welcome portrayal of how grief can be soft and swallow you whole at the same time." - Screenhype
"A clever and emotionally sincere puzzle game with gorgeous clockwork presentation and inventive musical mechanics." - Jump Dash Roll
"Swan Song contains interesting brain-teasers wrapped in a cozy atmosphere and a surprisingly touching story of a family dealing with a tragedy that will feel all too real for many." - Bonus Action
"Swan Song captures your attention from its opening moments and never lets go. Every element works in harmony to create an emotional, rewarding, and remarkable experience." - GamesHedge
“Swan Song is that lovely type of indie that is so specific in scope and ambition that all its parts slot neatly together (not unlike a well-made music box).” - CheckpointGaming
