In my nightmare I wake up and all I can see is white, a sort of polar blindness, and can&#8217;t discern where I am or what&#8217;s around me. Not white in a pure, pristine, blank slate type of way. Not white as light, but white as void. As an inescapable nothingness. It&#8217;s fucking terrifying.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;The Unfinished Swan&#8221; is a visually-stunning new first-person game, created by L.A.-based game designer <a href="http://www.iandallas.com"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Ian Dallas</span></a>, that places you firmly inside this white world. Only by throwing black paint balls can you determine what&#8217;s around you, creating dimension from the splatter.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Vodpod videos no longer available.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The game is still in production and there aren&#8217;t any current plans to release it, but with some growing internet buzz there&#8217;s a chance that may change.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It&#8217;s when I found this following screenshot on Dallas&#8217; website that I really shit my pants. How did he know? He&#8217;s like Freddy Kreuger. Ian Dallas &#8211; get out of my mind!</p>
