## About Thomas Was Alone

Thomas Was Alone is a 2012 indie puzzle-platformer from Bithell Games that guides players through 120 levels, switching between multiple characters with distinct abilities to solve environmental puzzles. Players describe the experience as atmospheric, cozy, emotional, and whimsical, with reviewers highlighting how the narrator brings life to simple geometric shapes despite the minimal visual style. The game is praised for its clever level design that introduces complexity gradually, and critics note that the characters become surprisingly relatable despite being rectangles. The short but impactful narrative-driven progression incorporates level-select replayability and supports solo play at a price of 4.99 USD. The game received a 93% positive rating from 3576 Steam reviews and is not supported on Steam Deck.
