Thomas Was Alone is a minimalist 2D platformer where you control colored rectangles, each with distinct abilities—one jumps high, another floats, a third inverts gravity. You'll swap between them to solve environmental puzzles across abstract levels. The hook: these shapes are sentient AIs, and a narrator voices their thoughts as they navigate together. It's less about reflex challenges, more about figuring out which rectangle does what and when. The story frames their cooperation as an emergence rather than escape, with personality quirks that make geometric blocks oddly relatable. Expect gentle difficulty, dry humor, and a focus on using different movement types in tandem. Works if you want platforming without pressure and don't mind reading shapes as characters.
