Is it still worth playing?

A boy named Monroe chases a swan that has escaped from a painting into a world that starts as a completely white space, in this 2012 adventure for the PlayStation 3. His mother was a painter who never finished a painting, and he follows the swan with her magical silver paintbrush. You throw black paint into the blank space to reveal paths, benches and statues, and water makes plants grow. The empty void gradually grows into a kingdom with elaborate architecture, once built by a king whose subjects grew tired of his rule. The campaign takes around four hours, and balloons hidden in each level unlock toys such as a slowdown mechanic. It supports the DualShock 3 and PlayStation Move. A game that begins with nothing to see still turns the act of looking around into the puzzle.
