Due to the themes of mentality and overcoming stress and trauma, it should be no surprise that there are many sad moments in the Figment games.
Figment 2: Creed Valley
- "Song of Discarded Opinions
." In it, a group of rejected Opinions state their beliefs, and then say that they're hopeful that they might be accepted by the Mind someday, although the viewer knows it's very unlikely. The song itself sounds very melancholic despite being in a major key.Nobody knows all the trouble we've seen
But we're all firm beliefs
And someday we will be set free- To say nothing of the rejected beliefs themselves. While some are funny, some of them are heartbreaking, and the fact that the Mind rejected them shows just how depressed he really is. Some of the sadder ones include:"Real men should not cry."
"Having another child will save this relationship."
"And I am significant in the grander scheme of things..."
- To say nothing of the rejected beliefs themselves. While some are funny, some of them are heartbreaking, and the fact that the Mind rejected them shows just how depressed he really is. Some of the sadder ones include:
- One of the unlockable memories reveals why the Mind wants to buy a house so badly: When he was a kid, his father told him that he wouldn't be a "real man" until he bought a house for his future family.
- While hiding from the Jester, Dusty and Piper discover the Jester's house hidden deep in the dark subconscious of the mind. It's absolutely trashed, with all kinds of junk lying around, and work papers clogging up the loudspeaker that the Jester used to use to speak with the Mind. This is when Dusty finally discovers that the Jester is not a Nightmare, but a rightful resident of the Mind just like him, which makes him feel extra bad about how he treated the Jester. He also realizes that the reason why the place became so messy is because the Mind forgot about the Jester and the fun and joy he used to have in life.
