From Bedtime Digital:
Bedtime Digital Games are delighted to announce that their hotly anticipated second game, the musical adventure Figment, will release on Friday 22 September. To celebrate the news, the team has unveiled a brand new launch trailer.
Figment - a hand-drawn and meticulously crafted action-adventure game with puzzle elements, set deep in the recesses of the human mind - will first come to Windows, Mac and Linux via Steam and GOG next month, before making its way to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the Winter.
With a full original and dynamic soundtrack by Danish musician Niels Højgaard Sørensen, a.k.a. Stöj Snak, Figment has wowed the press and public alike across a series of appearances at games events around the world this year.
It follows the huge success of Bedtime Digital's debut title, Back to Bed, which received an array of plaudits and awards when it was released for PC, consoles and mobile platforms back in 2014. Known for their quirky and original art direction and engaging, tactile game mechanics, Bedtime Digital Games have been hard at work on Figment for the past three years.
Jonas Byrresen, Creative Director on Figment, said: "It's a really awesome feeling being able to finally set a date for Figment's release - especially since we are so close to people actually getting to experience the full game for themselves.
He added: "We've showed many parts of the game at conventions during the production, but the full game is in many way larger than the sum of it parts. Figment is at its best when story, art, level design and music work together, and we can't wait to see what people make of it."
About Figment
Figment is a musical action-adventure set in the recesses of the human mind: 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.
Figment invites players to 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.
Key features:
- A gorgeous hand-drawn world to explore and restore
- Fight human fears head-on, as you battle with sinister nightmares
- 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
Bedtime Digital Games is an independent game development studio based in Aalborg, Denmark. The team started out working on a student project in 2012, before blossoming into a full studio after the release of its award-winning debut, Back To Bed.
Co-founded by Klaus Pedersen and Jonas Byrresen, Bedtime Digital Games went on to remaster and commercially release Back To Bed in 2014 to critical acclaim on PS4, PC, PS Vita and Wii U, as well as iOS and Andriod. Figment - a musical adventure for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch - will be the company's sophomore release.
