LucasArts announced on September 11, 2009 that Lucidity, a new game under development from the LucasArts team that re-imagined The Secret of Monkey Island®. Set for release on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC via digital download on October 7th, Lucidity is an addictive puzzle-like platformer set in the surreal dreamscapes of a little girl named Sofi.

In Lucidity, players take a trip into the imagination of Sofi, a young girl who is filled with a persistent desire to explore new worlds and overcome all obstacles in her way. In this challenging puzzle platform game, players are tasked with keeping Sofi safe as she drifts deeper into the strange new world of her dreams. Through quick reaction and placement of randomly generated puzzle pieces, players must create a path through beautifully detailed dreamscapes to keep Sofi in perpetual motion and deliver her to safety.

"Lucidity comes from our effort at LucasArts to form several small internal development teams and give them the creative freedom to make games that surprise, amaze and inspire," said LucasArts President Darrell Rodriguez. "The re-imagining of The Secret of Monkey Island and the development of the all-new Lucidity are just the beginning of this effort."

A gameplay trailer debut on GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley this past Thursday on Spike TV and as you can see in the video below, it's sort of a puzzle platformer that has you manipulating objects in the environment in order to help Sofi (who's moving of her own free will, Lemmings-style) get from one side of the screen to the other.

The Workshop at LucasArts has been created to share the latest news about the company's digital distribution initiatives. Lucidity has been priced at 800 Microsoft Points and will be available on Wednesday, October 7th.
