Remember that upcoming announcement LucasArts has for a new internally developed IP? Well that is looking more and more to be Lucidity as LucasArts has dropped us hints in the form of what appears to be a character from the game added to several photos from Penny Arcade Expo, holding a different puzzle piece in each photo. You can see one photo on the LucasArts Workshop blog, and spiralout on LucasForums has uncovered several other uploaded photos. Combine the puzzle pieces and you have what looks like a scene from the game. Now do the math on how likely it is that this is their upcoming announcement.
