It quickly becomes clear that the AIs they're referring to are the coloured blocks themselves, and their quest to escape.

The game begins with Thomas becoming aware that he exists. The coloured blocks are all given names and personalities, and as they help each other through the game, develop attachments and aversions to each other. None of the coloured blocks ever speak, and instead a narrator (voiced by Danny Wallace) tells the story as players move through the game. While aesthetically simplistic, the game places a large focus on narrative. The game is comprised of 100 levels, broken down into 10 chapters of 10 levels each. With the ability to switch characters on the fly, players must get each shape to it's corresponding exit to complete the level, often helping each other by creating platforms, traversing spike pits, pushing switches, etc. Players control a number of different characters, which are all simple coloured quadrilaterals with varying degrees of movement speed, jump height, and other special abilities. The game takes place on a minimalist two-dimensional plane, with stark black surfaces and a moody electronic soundtrack.
