Who knew it was possible to get so invested in the struggles of sentient quadrilaterals? Thomas was Alone accomplishes this impressive feat, through story-based puzzle solving and a very sassy narrator, who does an expert job of conveying the varying emotions and personalities of each character.

Thomas himself, an optimistic yet lonely rectangle, who craves company is a particular highlight, as he wholeheartedly believes his growing group of companions can escape their puzzling confines if only they can work together. Unfortunately, this is regardless of whether the other characters actually want to cooperate.

With a well-rounded story and familiar puzzle mechanics, this is a game suitable for any and every gamer. However, some of the later levels may stretch the brain slightly, as new ideas and hazards are implemented to create an engaging experience, where character growth and level difficulty rise in tandem with one another.

Playing almost like an interactive audiobook, Thomas was Alone's story progresses in accordance with the player's correct actions. As more of the cast and their abilities become playable, it is hard not to become invested in the struggles of Thomas and whether he will be alone once more...
