Due march next year this could be the next Potal/Braid

The Unfinished Swan is a first-person painting game set in an entirely white world.
Players can splatter paint to help them find their way through an unusual garden.

Will be keeping a close look on this one.

Looks boring as hell.
Like PC flash game you mess with for about a minute then forget about it.

All i see is a load of black paint....

I could just throw cans of paint around my house for real, and that would probably be more fun

But would you really want to do that?

Maybe inspired by the Wii-game De Blob?

Yes, I've seen someone play that game and there was more to it than I first thought by just viewing some video's.

I think this game looks amazing tbh but I have more of a penchant for the obscure and avant garde games nowadays as I have grown older.

Still looks nice but i think they shot them selves right in the foot by going PSN only.

That sounds a bit like me. I still play "normal" games but also appreciate these more "odd" ones from time to time. I replayed Braid today and Journey was one of my better gaming experiences this year.

Yeah Journey was in my conciousness when I made that post. Such a beautiful game, an experience like no other. My first Journey was spent hanging around with random people but after the first I always stick with a fellow traveller all the way through, it's epic.
