For what is a pretty simplistic looking game, Thomas Was Alone offers a truly great story that actually gets the player to care about what are basically squares and rectangles.

Haunting guitar strums mixed with beautiful piano chords and bits of chiptune creates a very fitting soundtrack.

Gameplay is introduced at a relaxed rate, and is never frustrating or off-putting. It's not big on challenge, but does require some thinking. Everything is solvable, new techniques are introduced as they are needed for the story, and the whole thing just radiates relaxation and love.

What really drives the well crafted story home is the wonderful narration done by British filmmaker, comedian, writer, actor, and presenter of radio and television, Danny Wallace.

The characters grow extremely well and in depth. The narration makes you feel their personalities, even though they never speak for themselves.
