The Unfinished Swan has the elements that fit the mold of a tale that can be presented to an adult or child and have both extract something from the experience. While neither part is done poorly, it feels like the gameplay may turn away children and the straightforward story might not have enough meat for an adult to sink their teeth into.ĭespite the fairy tale like presentation, I do not think the story is necessarily aimed at children. For the story, we have what seems like a fairly unironic storybook approach that touches on fairly simple themes, and on the other we have a relaxed and experimental 3D exploration game. The story half and gameplay half of The Unfinished Swan aren’t necessarily incompatible or even an ill fit for each other, but it does feel like the game is trying to court different audiences with each half. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what exactly a video game is going for, and The Unfinished Swan seems to be one of those titles.
