For being the lonely title character of Thomas Was Alone, Thomas sure is popping up all over the place. He’s moved from PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita onto the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the finally the Wii U. Surely the only one feeling alone at this point is the Xbox 360 who has yet to receive the title.
If you’ve not played Thomas Was Alone I feel it’s the perfect story puzzle platformer. The story kept me engaged while the puzzles kept me coming back for more. Interestingly this release is kind of split between the three platforms. The Xbox One and Wii U versions of the game will include the Benjamin’s Flight DLC as part of the main purchase. While the PlayStation version is cross-buy between all three consoles, PS3, PS4 and PS Vita but the DLC will need to be purchased separately. Thomas Was Alone and Benjamin’s Flight together on the Xbox One Store and Wii U eShop priced £6.99/€9.49/$10.99. While On PS3, PS4 and PS Vita the main game will be available for £5.99/€7.49/$9.99, and the DLC level pack Benjamin’s Flight will be priced at £1.99/€2.49/$3.49.

On PlayStation, any current owners of the game on PS3 or Vita will be able to download the main game for PS4 immediately upon release for no cost at all.
Curve Digital Managing Director Jason Perkins commented, “Thomas Was Alone was the very first title we published for an indie developer. Both Curve and the whole console indie world has come a long way since then, but it’s been great to get back to Thomas and produce brand new versions for those who missed it first time around.”

Praise for Thomas Was Alone:
“It proves that you don’t need tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of staff to make a game story worth telling, just a good hook, an engaging vision, and a whole lot of heart.” Destructoid 9/10
“The understated aesthetic design and unusual co-op puzzles will absorb you for the game’s duration – the wit and personality of the writing, though, will stay with you for much longer.” IGN 8/10
