Thomas Was Alone Is Coming to Nintendo Switch

Thomas Was Alone is coming to the Nintendo Switch this month, to the delight of classic gamers.

This award-winning game has its own cult following and is all about jumping, floating, and defying gravity. And, as many Nintendo games tend to go, it is awesome for friendships as it revolves around that theme as well.

Thomas Was Alone was released in 2021 as a 2D platformer by Bithell Games, and since then, its group of sentient rectangles overcoming series of obstacles together have captured the hearts of gamers. If you have not had the pleasure, here’s what’s in store for you:

Discover the story of the world’s first sentient AIs, and how they worked together to, well not escape… “escape” is a strong word. Perhaps “emerge” might be better. “Emerge” has an air of importance about it, while keeping the various plot twists and origin stories you’ll discover under wraps. We didn’t even mention the bouncing. That would be overkill.

Listen to reactive and atmospheric music originally composed by David Housden. Negotiate puzzles meticulously designed by Mike Bithell, and immerse yourself in the characters journey with a BAFTA award winning voiceover read wistfully and amusingly by Danny Wallace.

Also includes Thomas Was Alone: Benjamin’s Flight, the additional level pack that follows the tale of Benjamin and his father’s incredible invention. Meet a new companion and a familiar face in the events leading up to Thomas’ emergence.

* Beat 100 levels carefully designed to test your puzzle-solving skills and uncover the story of the AIs.
* Utilize the unique skills of 12 different characters, each as unique as the AIs themselves.
* Immerse yourself in David Housden’s critically acclaimed procedural score.
* Join Danny Wallace for a BAFTA award winning performance of the story’s narration.
* Includes Director’s Commentary by creator Mike Bithell.
* Includes the “Benjamin’s Flight” additional level pack – join new characters and utilize new abilities in 20 additional levels in a story about hope and the wild impetuosity of youth.

With the Nintendo Switch’s popularity exploding like nobody’s business, it was only a matter of time till Thomas Was Alone made it to the mobile gaming console.

The game will be released on February 19, 2021 for $9.99. But, if you pre-order now, you can get it for $7.99!
