Figment: Journey Into the Mind

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Figment: Journey Into the Mind is an adventure game for iOS devices. The game's general theme, involving mental health and fear, bears a positive message kids -- and parents -- may find beneficial. The vibrant world featured in the app includes a few elements younger kids might find a little scary, such as monsters that emerge from the ground and need to be killed with a sword. There isn't any blood shown, though, when they or the main character perishes -- and he immediately comes back to try again. Players will have to pay a small amount to view the entire story, although they can sample a portion of it for free. There's also the implication that the main character is drinking something from a martini glass, though what the liquid happens to be is never revealed.
