Thomas Was Alone

Thomas was alone, is a simple puzzle game, which a fantastic story. The designs of the characters are ridiculously simple, they are all squares or rectangles that are different colours and they never speak. The game would just be another simple puzzle platformer that would probably be quite dull if it wasn't for one thing.
The narration.
Thomas was alone has narration through it that gives each of the shapes a character, with names and personality, such as Thomas, a red rectangle who is extremely curious about the world around him,  Chris, an orange square who hates everything and everyone, and john, a long tall yellow rectangle that is extremely egotistical but also very positive. There are man more characters all with different personalities, skills and an overarching story that makes you extremely attached to simple quadrilaterals. I am going to replay this game soon and take note of the storytelling techniques it uses.
