Bedtime Digital Games’ award-winning indie musical slightly delayed due to unforeseen technical issue.

24 MAY 2018 — Bedtime Digital Games has announced that its musical indie adventure, Figment, will now release for Nintendo Switch in June. The game had previously been slated for a 31 May release, but an unforeseen technical issue has meant the date has needed to be pushed back to 28 June.

Bedtime Digital Games’ CEO and co-founder, Klaus Pedersen, explained: “We were all set to go for the 31 May launch, but then we found a small technical issue that needed fixing before release. The fix was a quick one, but unfortunately, it meant we had to pick a new release date.”

He added: “We’re really pleased with Figment on the Switch – it’s a really natural fit for the platform – so we hope that players feel it was worth the wait when it launches on June 28th.”

Following widespread acclaim at the time of its PC launch last September – with reviewers calling the game “delightful” and praising its “truly outstanding musical work” – Figment has already been the recipient of a number of awards, including ‘Best Narrative’ at BIG Festival, ‘Best Art’ at Casual Connect, and ‘Best Sound’ at AZPlay.

Figment will be available via the Nintendo eShop from Monday 28 June 2018, with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions to follow.

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
