Gameplay
Figment is a linear action-adventure game presented from an isometric perspective with real-time movement. Its gameplay blends environmental puzzle-solving, light exploration, and simple combat. You control Dusty, the embodiment of courage, as he journeys through various regions of a comatose man’s mind, facing physical manifestations of fear and trauma.
The core mechanic revolves around solving puzzles using levers, gears, switches, movable objects, and platforming elements to open paths and activate machinery. Each region introduces new thematic and mechanical elements, such as windmills, movable boxes, or sequences that require specific actions to progress.
As you explore, you’ll encounter minor enemies and boss battles against figures that represent negative emotions like fear and doubt. Combat is straightforward, involving melee attacks with a standard weapon, dodges, and cooldown management. Bosses have unique attack patterns and often sing during battles, with lyrics that sync with the game’s dynamic soundtrack.
The interface is minimalist, and objectives are usually conveyed through visual cues within the environment. The soundtrack is reactive, adapting to scenes and player actions, and plays a central role in shaping the game’s tone and atmosphere.
About the game
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.
