The environments are (mostly) rectangles of various shapes and sizes. The graphics are, of course, as basic as they come. The narration truly does make the game, though, so if you're one of those kooks that plays games without the audio, I'd suggest turning it up for this one, as all of the character development and story comes from the dulcet tones of the game's narrator. TWA is a super easy completion, and as with with its kin like Limbo and Unmechanical, it's approachable even for those not skilled in the arts of puzzling and platforming. With excellent voiceover narration done by humorist Danny Wallace, and an engaging score by David Housden, Thomas Was Alone draws the player into a computer world where multiple AI routines have become uncontrolled, taking on personalities and attempting to do. It is with this brilliant stroke that the developer shows us that character development is, in fact, possible without the artifice of high-fidelity graphics and realistic (or fantastic) characters.
In fact, all of the characters are rectangles of various lengths and heights. more accurately he's a rectangle I suppose, not an actual square. No, I don't mean the main character isn't cool, that T-Birds would refuse to let him in and don a black leather jacket on him.
How so? Because the main character is a square. It eschews completely the approach that we need to be hooked by eye candy.
Thomas Was Alone, developed and published by Curve Digital and another addition via the program, is a platformer with light puzzle elements.
