The controls felt responsive and, similar to the rest of the game, very simple.
Each one of the colorful blocks are given their own name, personality and story and it’s delivered so well that you can’t help but feel attached to each and every one of them.Ībout the gameplay, the platforming is nice and tight. While the main plot is interesting, the beauty of the story is in the character development. The story itself is wonderfully written and delivered in the form of narrations in every level with the overarching story slowly revealed in the beginning of each chapter via quotes. The soundtrack consists of soft piano chords, strings and electronica ranges from moody and dissonant to energetic and melodic to accentuate the narrative that does wonders for the overall atmosphere and above all, synchronizes wonderfully with the minimalist aesthetics of the game. The delivered narration helps flesh out each of the different characters and draws players into the story itself. The sound design is no less amazing the narration is delivered from each character’s perspective. However, the game keeps interesting to play the background is dynamic, with constantly shifting patterns and colors and the lighting effects and dynamic shadows makes for beautiful display. The characters are nothing more than quadrilaterals of different colors and the terrain is simply black blocks.
What’s amazing about it is very simple and minimalistic even. On the surface, it is a puzzle platformer with a minimalistic art style starring the aforementioned cast of little colored blocks. Thomas Was Alone is the story of a sentient AI. However, Thomas Was Alone does an incredible thing it shows that it is possible to write characters that the player can genuinely care about, and it does so with a gang of featureless quadrilaterals, no less. Writing a cast of interesting, engaging, and relatable characters for video games is a really difficult. Reviewers: Faldy Hamid and Ida Bagus Kerthyayana Manuaba
