2. Figment General hints and tips

When you reach the start menu for the game, you will be faced with five options:

• Resume - you continue the game from your last auto save.
• New Game - start a new game. This will overwrite any save you already have.
• Settings - change the control configuration, video and audio settings.
• Credits - you can view the credits here.
• Exit Game - Exit the game completely.

The game only gives you a single save slot and it will auto-save whenever you reach a checkpoint. There are only two truly missable achievements to do with attacking groups of enemies. While completing a level for the first time, there is the option to restart it if you feel it is necessary; this will be far quicker than creating a new save file and running through the game again. As for the other achievements, you can return to any level to mop up any of the collectible achievements that you may have missed as the levels remain available from the point that you unlock them.

Although the control configuration can be changed, I'll be using the default configuration for the purpose of this walkthrough. There is no option to skip dialogue or cutscenes, but they're so short and witty that you won't really want to do so.

I will be using specific formatting for this walkthrough to make it easier to see what is what. Bold text represents items that can be added to Dusty's inventory. Locations will be in Bold text and Underlined. Throughout the game, there will be numerous occasions where Dusty will need to knock on a door or collect a memory to earn nine achievements. These occasions will be highlighted in text boxes. I'll also use screenshots to help with solving puzzles and collectible locations.

Let's begin the story.
