The Blacks and Whites of The Unfinished Swan

The Unfinished Swan is described as a first-person painting game, but don’t let that dissuade you.

The game’s designer, Ian Dallas, has put up a tech demo that shows off the gameplay, as well as the game’s outstanding (if stark) art direction. I’m sold. Make sure to watch until the end, to see the "switch."

The title was one of the selections at this month’s Tokyo Game Show "Sense of Wonder Night" indie game showcase.

Dallas hopes to finish The Unfinished Swan by March 2009, and since it’s being made using Microsoft’s XNA development tools, that should mean an eventual release for the Xbox 360.
