Thomas was alone. - Videogame reveiw

Thomas was alone is an indie game released on PC steam originally, then was developed onto other systems such a the PS3.


 Thomas was alone is about an AI, represented within the form of simplistic colored shapes that carry very in depth character development and personality traits. It's a completely adorable game, every 'shape' is given it's own name, it's own personality and yet it's represented in such a simplistic way. It's a basic   platform game with levels, however character interact by helping each other reach the end of the platform. Some characters have special abilities, much like their personalities.

For example a certain character feels like a 'super hero' because she can float in water, in which no other character can.  The game itself is very symbolic in aesthetics, the way it deals with depression anxiety and mental health. This game is beautiful in the way it tells the story in it's most simplistic form - simple shapes and colors.
