The Search for Thomas


This game was a result of a small break from my main project "The Healer". It's a full, short game that utilizes mostly rtp graphics.

~Thanks Reives for asking me to post this here.~

Story
Thomas?...Thomas!
Where are you?...


A young girl awakens in a small, dark room. She knows only one thing...she must find Thomas.

Characters
Meggie
The main protagonist.

Thomas
A young boy who is supposedly missing.

Features
  • No battles. That's right. You must avoid monsters and animals in order to survive.
  • Health bar. Keep track of Meggie's health via the on-screen health bar.
  • No magic, experience or gold. It's not about leveling up, it's about surviving.

Screens


Uh Oh. Maybe it's the other switch. Wait! What other switch?


So...do you come here often?


Hmm...maybe I should check out that shiny thing.

Added to Finished Project Index. I like the concept of avoiding enemies rather than fighting them. It looks like it will be quite enjoyable.

An eye opener for what can be made with such limited resource. Not many other RMXP games are made in this style, very refreshing.  :)

P.S. Don't be fooled by the screenshots if they seem a little dull. Try it.

Anaryu, you do know that .ORG people come here too right? It's not supposed to be known as the GA test.

And, Alexia, this is wonderful.  If anyone reading this hasn't played it yet, you had better.

Hi, there.
Part of the game i liked: Read on if you want:

Spoiler for:
LOL, I loved the seen where you go downstairs and you hear Thomas, then you go down a litl emore and a kid runs out of no where. Classic horror film/game sequence. Good job on the game. I couldnt figure out what to do when you sacrifice the liquor, some creepy little girl just came out, chased me slowly, and "touched" me, then game over. Freaked me out, I thought I had to talk to her.

Wow, this was awesome. Apart from being extremely short you told a great story and make me jump whilst playing the game. Played at 4 AM, with the lights off doors shut. Now hear this... when I was playing it and the power went out the door to this room creaked open. Of course I was freaked out for godsakes.

You should make more horror games, possibly a series and make them longer with save points every half hour or so. Really depends what you want. Enjoyed playing. =]

Hi, there.
You know whats odd though, Alexia only posted this game and never posted again. Unless "Search for Thomas" was made by another member who just made a new account, I dont think Alexia is coming back.

Maybe, but if you look at her profile you'll see that she was last active on the 26th.
She may not post.... But she's watching us  :o

This isn't Alexia's home forum. I just asked her to come and post this here since it is an unique game that deserves to be noticed.  :)

Thank you all for playing. I do check back here every once in a while and sorry for not posting sooner.

@eternal_renegade: The text is Verdana. Here is the link to download the font. Once you download it, extract the file and copy it to your fonts folder which should install it onto your computer.

@ChaosSpartan28:
Spoiler for About the liquor:
After you set the bottle, press the action button again to light it on fire. And try your best to stay away from the ghost.

If you liked this game, check out my main project, "The Healer." It's not the same genre, however, but you might enjoy it.

Thanks again, everyone. Not sure if there will be a sequel, but you never know.

**EDIT** New Difficult Version Below
Can't get enough of Thomas? Well, I created a difficult version of the game. It has the same plot and puzzles, but no potions, less HP, more rats but less rodent spray, and much more (or less, in this case). I died a couple of times and I had to save often in order to beat the game. Think you have what it takes to survive? Download the difficult version and try!

**Even though there are no potions, your HP will regenerate but very slowly.

Thanks everyone for playing. It is short but hopefully you'll find it enjoyable, despite its length.

Thanks, Lunarea!
