Hey everyone!
<a href="https://twitter.com/mikeBithell" target="_blank">@mikebithell</a> Has just released his first independent game. He worked on this himself for over a year. It's a superbly-made polished game that really pulls at the heart-strings and makes you feel for cube & rectangles. <a href="http://www.thomaswasalone.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thomaswasalone.com/</a>
It features an amazing score by <a href="http://thomaswasalone.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">David Housden</a>, and voice narration by <a href="https://twitter.com/misterwallace/" target="_blank">Danny Wallace</a>.
