This game is about two lovers named January and September.
No, wait; it's about a group of people who don't believe in the sky.
No, it's about a pantheon of scientific disciplines.
Or maybe it's about an ancient beast who knew exactly when it was going to die, and how.
It's about a place. A place called Looming.

Quite the Experience
This game satisfies my exploration urges rather nicely. I love the super-retro graphics that callback to things like old Mac games. I had to laugh when I saw open featureless plane and thought of old DOS games. There's a really great sense of atmosphere, and there's a cool sense of.. I guess I'd say a morbid but positive mythology. I have to say, I feel like a Seecha, utterly unable to look upwards and see the sky that September describes as so beautiful. I'm wondering, is this all a reference to a land of older computer games that now lies barren?
I've seen some good criticisms in here. I don't necessarily agree with them, but my tastes a bit peculiar. My one major criticism is that I wish the main character's animations had more... well... character to them. Perhaps it's an aesthetic choice, but I think your games generally suffer for lack of animation. More than anything else, I want to know more about the Oarboar and how his bones get scattered all over the place. Maybe that's for another time.

Eerily Compelling
What makes this game chilling is the mystery surrounding it. It explores a realm that is oftentimes more terrifying than any monster or dark room; downfall and destruction. Each relic you discover uncovers more and more of a tale about the rise and fall of civilizations. The theme to watch for is knowledge, and its purpose and role for the parties involved (including your own character). Enjoy.

I just couldn't leave it incomplete.
Looming was so compelling that what I first thought to be a quick overview on what this game is all about turned out to be a experience I seriously doubt I will never forget.
I was about to give the game 9 stars for all the frustration it gave me at the beginning and for all the useless walking I did while searching the clues and bits of information.
Soon though I realized that my mind was set for more modern time straightforward shoot-before-asking kind of games. Smiling at myself I decided to give it 10/10
Beautiful, compelling and most of all a challenging game!

Outstanding
Truly an excellent piece of work, both as a game and as art. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Mr. Weir is quite a talented individual, and this game is a testament to that talent.
