The story
A musical action-adventure set in the recesses of the human mind... Welcome to the world of Figment. A strange and surreal world; a place filled with our deepest thoughts, urges and memories, populated by the many voices we hear in our heads. This mind has been quiet and calm for many years. But something has changed. New thoughts have started to emerge - taking the shape of nightmarish creatures who spread fear wherever they go. The only hope is for the grumpy Dusty, the mind's former voice of courage, to get back to his old self and help the mind to face its fears. Join Dusty and his ever-optimistic friend, Piper, on an adventure through the different sides of the mind, solving puzzles to set things straight, beating back the nightmares and seeking to restore the courage that's been lost.
What it’s like
Bright, painterly environments in soft pastels and warm primaries, rendered with a hand-made storybook softness, with the mind's different regions shifting in color and mood from one to the next. Camera work stays close and readable, so the platforming and puzzles sit at a comfortable pace. The score is central: music threads through exploration and combat, and the soundtrack is lively and melodic, with light comic touches from the two companions bickering and encouraging each other. The mood is whimsical and warm, with a gentle undercurrent of anxiety that never turns grim. Its shape is a grumpy, reluctant hero slowly regaining his nerve alongside a relentlessly cheerful friend. Intensity is mild: the nightmare creatures are cartoonish and fearsome in name only, with light, bloodless combat and no gore, cruelty, or sexual content. It suits a relaxed evening, a playful afternoon, or a low-stakes comfort session. It is for players who want a musical, puzzle-driven adventure with charm, gentle humor, and no real harshness.
