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.

Very tedious but artistic.

Still one of the most beautiful and intriguing exploration games I've ever played. It's how I learned of Myst too! Playing it again got me wondering how the Oarbor could've looked like, hehe. It's also more tightly designed than what I remembered - any artifacts that you can unearth are always near a path or landmarks that you'll visit, so thankfully you never have to meander around the deserted wastes to stumble into anything by luck. Very satisfying to explore.

Deep interesting game, i remember playing this a long time ago here

Over 10 years later and still a fantastic game. Hope it gets put on Steam in the near future

Really happy to revisit this art piece and also excited that ruffle runs it.

Looming, a familiar corner of cyberspace. Unforgettable.
