Figment is free to keep right now, until March 9th! That means if you get the game via Steam here, it's yours - forever. Figment is a surreal action-adventure set in the human mind. Nightmares have taken over The Mind, clouding its judgement and making it stuck. It's up to Dusty and Piper to dive into the deepest corners of the human psyche and figure out why the nightmares have appeared.
Fight the Fears in musical showdowns, solve mind-bending puzzles, and explore rhythmic environments on your travels! In your adventures, you will also encounter environmental music. Be it cliff trumpets or ticking gears, each element adds its own layer to the soundtrack.
All these different areas that you have seen are part of The Mind - Freedom Isles and Clockwork Town. As you get to the deepest and most vulnerable part of your journey, you will find how damaged the lands really are.
Try the game out when you get the chance, let us know if you liked it! Or let it sit in your Steam backlog, quietly slipping away (which is also ok).

The standalone sequel, Figment 2, is just 7 days away, launching March 9th.

Cerebrum City has succumbed to darkness, the Black Hog is here...

The once lit-up and vibrant roads are now devoured by darkness. Only the faint remains of what used to be Cerebrum City may guide you to what caused this chaos, The Black Hog. Dusty, The Minds courage is needed once more to defeat this new nightmare. Restore the balance by shining new light onto the murky obstacles that block your path.
As intimidating as it may seem, the tusk-wielding foe is not new to The Mind. It feeds off stressful situations that may arise when facing new and challenging tasks. Dusty is confident that it can be defeated: Relax. The Black Hog visits here everytime the mind is under a bit of stress. Let's find a way to light up the mood so I can get a stab at the dark!

Some parts of the description have also been updated, check it out:

Hej hej everyone!

Surreal landscapes, bosses with their own theme songs and a journey deep into the human subconscious. What do you say?

Hello from the beautiful lands of Denmark! We're incredibly excited to finally talk about the main antagonist of Figment: Creed Valley, The Jester.
The jester is the minds short-term planning and urge to seize the day, impulsiveness incarnate. A traumatic event seen in Figment let him free from The Minds grasp. Unlike other Nightmares we have encountered, The Jester spawns from the subconscious natural setting and is needed for The Minds well-being. More information about Creed Valley here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1085220/Figment_Creed_Valley/ Unlike the other nightmares in Figment, The Jester is part of The Mind. He once lived in a house in Creed Valley like the other voices, and was kept under control by a more responsible life style. However, due to his impulsive nature and disregard for the consequences, he has broken free and leads a quest of rebellion. His carnival themed outfit and fighting style is theatrical, musical and eccentric.
As Dusty and The Jester are both essential parts of The Mind, their fights are significant internal battles to restore balance. As we face these situations in our daily lives, courage is needed to undertake new and unusual situations. At the same time, we need a certain freedom of thinking to find new interests and stay stimulated. Their fight symbolizes the internal conflicts that we face, whether we solve them in the blink of an eye or are ongoing processes that challenges our mind set. Here is the culprit himself! What are your thoughts on this crazy nightmare?

Here's a little breakdown on what's inside

From the bundles description:

• Use both brawn and brain, solving puzzles and battling enemies
• Enjoy a full score of musical performances, nightmarish and otherwise, which are defined by your exploration of the world

Hej hej everyone!

It's a piano bridge!

So the rules were the following:

A musical environmental element to add character to the world. In the first opus, Figment, the world is living and the main character Dusty is part of it, not the other way around. We felt that the world would feel barren and lifeless without a well-structured landscape. [/olist]
Below is an in-game example of the bridge when open. What is important to note in the open-minded state is that it is the moment you let the creative juices flow. Here, you see Dusty stepping on a key. The Mind is open to new ideas and in this case, to new music. In the closed-minded state, speakers block your path and the piano plays it's own music. The Mind is set in its ways and plays the same tune over and over.

[ 2019-06-25 15:37:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

Were excited to announce that an Encore to Figment in a new self-contained story of is coming Fall 2019! Get ready for a second round of an excessive amount of puns, singing bosses and mind-bending puzzles. The Jester, unlike the other nightmares in the Figment universe, is part of The Mind. He once lived in a house in Creed Valley like the other voices, and was kept under control by a more responsible life style. However, due to his impulsive nature and disregard for the consequences, he has broken the Moral Compass and leads a quest of rebellion. The Mind is living in a state of internal conflict. As you venture deeper into the surreal and hand-painted world of Creed Valley, you will be able to collect remembranes. These fragments of memories will allow you to peer into what events are troubling the subconscious.

Creed Valley introduces:

• A fresh chapter of Figment with its own self-contained story
• New singing nightmares with their own original songs and themes
• Discover two sides of the same world with a unique state-changing mechanic
• Whimsical narrative and art style
• Unravel mysteries as you venture into the depths of The Mind

The surreal world of indie game Figment is more colorful than ever thanks to SteelSeries and their GameSense technology! You can now enjoy our musical adventure as a complete sound and light show with your SteelSeries equipment. We hope you'll enjoy it!

Hej everyone, A week ago, we shared a pretty big news with you on our social networks: Figment will be release on Steam the 22nd of September. To celebrate, we also shared a brand new trailer of the game: ​​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yIIbH0SEmw For that trailer we teamed with Derek Lieu, an experienced trailer editor who shared on his blog the process behind the creation of this video. You'll find below his input, but you should definitely go on his blog and read about his other works! [quote=Derek Lieu]I got this project by a referral from Kert Gartner! Figment is an adventure game made by Bedtime Digital Games. I was immediately drawn to it by the mix of hand drawn art and 3D.  I didn't get much direction for the trailer, but since they were confident the art spoke for itself, they wanted to highlight the setting of the game, and the music. Figuring out how to highlight the music was the most difficult part of making this trailer. There are some boss characters in the game that literally sing! Of the game's music cues, very few stuck out to me as good for the trailer. To help narrow down the music, I sorted them into categories based on the pace and feel of each piece. So much of editing is just a series of processes to eliminate options. I wanted to use at least a small part of a boss' song in the trailer, but I knew it couldn't work for the entire trailer (or at least, I didn't know how to make it work).
The opening of the trailer mostly focuses on darker environments to fit the somber music For the ending of the trailer I re-used the song in the reveal trailer by Trailer Squad, because nothing felt as climactic as that piece, and it had a very positive reaction in that trailer. But for this trailer I didn't cut to the lyrics until the trailer's climax. The other idea I had for the trailer was based off of this remix video the composer of Figment put together by cutting together the main character hitting objects in the game. I briefly considered using that as the opening to the trailer, but decided that it wouldn't tell the audience enough about the game, and at worst would feel like I was trying to hide what the game really was by cutting so stylistically. To help figure out the structure of the trailer I focused on the narrative by cutting together dialogue. The main character Dusty and Piper have quite a bit of banter, and some moments of exposition. The trailer didn't really fully click until I put in exposition from the Mayor character who speaks in verse. I realized that putting him at the beginning of the trailer immediately drew attention, because how many games have dialogue like that? Certain lines of dialogue have a finality to them that dictate they come at the end of a section, and some sound like they should intro a new one, so I just went with it, and ended up creating a cold open. ​​
I chose this shot for after the logo to contrast with the mostly dark shots of the cold open For the section after the logo I used a piece of music that had some good energy for the exposition. This is also where I made a section that was similar to the composer's remix video. I thought this coupled with the Mayor's dialogue would make the trailer more interesting. Another happy accident was the rhythm of the Mayor's speech seemed to match the tempo of the music! I went through one of the boss' songs, found a section I thought stood on its own pretty well, and just tried cutting it after the exposition. Surprise surprise, it sounded pretty good! I'm guessing it's because the cues are of the same or similar tempo. I requested an instrumental version of the boss' song to see if it would match better, but my original choice had better energy. For the boss' song section I used shots of obstacles and combat because it matched the tone and subject. Piper's "Who the heck was that?" was a great line to follow up the end of the song, and segue to the last third.  ​​
The rhythm of the blocks forming on this bridge perfectly matched the music for that section! Up to this point I'd shown the lyrical quality of the game, the quirky sound design, a couple puzzle-y bits, and the obstacles. The end is where I wanted to show on the somber and sentimental tone. My hope is the change of music, and titles say to the audience: "But wait, there's more!" The end montage focuses on puzzles, cool environments, and some music video-like Mickey Mouse-ing where the movement of the shots match the music. That's pretty much it! I'm astounded I managed to put all those different pieces of music together, and have it flow together. At least, I HOPE it sounds like that. I didn't have many significant changes to make once I presented my first cut; they were very pleased![/quote] Figment's release is drawing near ; remember to wishlist it on Steam or subscribe to our newsletter to get a notification!
