Dusty, the mind’s former voice of courage, sets out with his optimistic companion Piper to confront nightmares spreading through a once-calm inner world. Their journey takes them through imagined regions as they try to restore courage and put the mind back in order.
Explore isometric environments, find objects, operate mechanisms, and solve puzzles that open routes forward. Challenges include moving blocks, activating devices, and navigating environmental hazards; optional memory collectibles add fragments of context.
Combat is a light part of the adventure: Dusty swings a sword and dodges enemies, with puzzle elements also featuring in boss encounters. The hand-painted world has a musical quality, with environmental sounds and a dynamic soundtrack responding to actions, while some enemies sing during battles.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often praise the hand-drawn visuals, musical atmosphere, and especially the singing boss encounters. Many also enjoy the story’s themes and find the puzzles approachable and varied, though some consider them too simple or repetitive. Combat is frequently described as basic, and backtracking or slow movement can frustrate some players; opinions on the voice acting and narrative depth are mixed.
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.
