Thomas Was Alone

I am absolutely loving this game. It kind of feels like a fairy tale mixed with a management book. I'm finding John especially amusing: he's a sociopath who still tries hard to be helpful for all the wrong reasons. And Thomas is adorable.

And the whole game is very relaxing. It feels like a laid-back co-op Portal. Anyone else here play that?

A good friend of mine introduced me to this, and I was instantly hooked. Played almost the whole game in one sitting, it was so addicting. The ending got a bit confusing, but overall it was a great game.

I'm fine with the PC version.

The narrator's voice is really charming, isn't it?

Aaaagreed.

I thank Extra Credits for introducing this to me.

I really, really like how this game recommends thinking methodically and collaborating and making the best out of each character's abilities. It's the best, most heartwarming implementation of Eigen Plot I've ever seen. This game should be distributed to children for free.

The game is a good argument for just putting a pleasantly-voiced narrator in everything. Even considering some of the stuff that happens, it's a very feel-good game.

Nitpick: I felt the last leg of the game was either too short (there wasn't really time to get invested in the events that were being introduced that late) or too long (it really just needed a couple of levels to make its point). I suppose the problem was that the final game mechanic would have been underused for the latter, and resources were too short for the former?
