Musical Journey Through the Human Mind
What is the gameplay like in Figment 2: Creed Valley? You play as Dusty, the embodiment of courage within the mind. You will be accompanied by Piper, who is controlled by another person in local co-op mode.
The human mind, in which you find yourself, is plagued by nightmares that cause chaos. Now it is your task to restore mental peace by traveling to the Valley of Convictions.
To do this, you need to solve tricky puzzles and explore the colorful game world. Figment 2 places a strong emphasis on music. Rhythm game elements are also incorporated into the combat, and the nightmares have their own songs.
The mind has two different states: open-minded and narrow-minded. To solve the various puzzles, you have to switch between these two perspectives repeatedly. Sometimes you are in exploration mode, open to new ideas, and other times you focus more on inner thoughts. Depending on the mode, your surroundings and the NPCs behave differently.
