About

Thomas Was Alone came out on July 24, 2012 for Mac and PC, then for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on April 23, 2013 and for Linux on May 28, 2013. The main story takes about 3 hours, doing everything about 3.5 hours.

Thomas Was Alone is an indie minimalist 2D platformer about friendship and jumping and floating and anti-gravity. Guide a group of rectangles through a series of obstacles, using their different skills together to get to the end of each environment.

Story

Thomas Was Alone tells the story of the world's first sentient AIs, and how they worked together to, well, not escape: Escape is a strong word. 'Emerge' might be better. 'Emerge' has an air of importance about it, while keeping the myriad plot twists and superhero origin stories you'll discover under wraps. We didn't even mention the bouncing. That'd be overkill.
