The Unfinished Swan
I know what I could perceive in The Unfinished Swan: an endless, featureless canvas of pure-white nothingness. My one action, aside from moving and jumping, was throwing an unlimited number of black paint blobs at the apparently empty world. Where those drops landed, the structure of the world was revealed, one splash at a time.
