A new game is coming from LucasArts to the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC. LucasArts today announced the imaginative looking puzzle/platform game, Lucidity. It's been in the works, and under wraps, for some time and will be available on October 7th. It sounds like this is a result of the recent resurgence in LucasArts' Secret of Monkey Island games and re-release of some of their classic adventure games on Steam (here).

See the first screenshots from Lucidity here.

Here are the first details on Lucidity, from LucasArts:

"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.”

Features noted on Lucidity include:
Surreal childlike dreamscapes (hand-drawn contemporary art and original music score):
Like a surreal children’s book come to life, get lost in mesmerizing dreamscapes detailed with beautiful hand-drawn contemporary art and a spellbinding original score.

Heartfelt children’s story:
Take a trip with the little girl Sofi as she drifts into a vivid dream world where, beckoned by the kind words of her grandmother, she learns to overcome her fears.

Innovative puzzle platformer gameplay:
Skillfully place unique puzzle pieces designed to propel the little girl Sofi to and from suspended platforms, or over and under obstacles, in an effort to maintain her state of perpetual motion and deliver her to safety.
