Figment is a puzzle game released on September 22, 2017, by the independent studio Bedtime Digital Games. Although the genre of the game is puzzle, the challenges are frankly simple, except for those on the later levels. The game does not boast an intriguing plot or characters. Without finding secrets, uncovering hidden places, and completing non-obvious actions, players will learn little about whose mind the protagonist—grumpy Dusty and his relentless companion Piper—is saving. They must deal with the Cough, which has imposed sickness upon the creative hemisphere, and with the Spider Woman, who has woven her web in the analytical sphere of the brain and slowed the thinking process of a family father who has been in an accident.
The game Figment may attract children with its extraordinary, surreal graphics; however, the themes addressed in the game are far from childish—victory over despair, internal hopelessness, the will to live, and the importance of family. Overall, it is a charming puzzle in the mind. This is exactly what players have missed!
