LOOM™

Отличный ЛукасАртсовский поинт-энд-клик с музыкой Чайковского. У меня он в детстве был на сборнике ЛукасАртс, тогда он мне казался каким-то непонятным и крипотным, прошел до конца я его намного позже. 8/10

Les graphismes du jeu sont d'une beauté, les énigmes sont ni trop dure ni trop simple et le crie de notre personnage est hilarant.

Loom is a charming game set in a fantasy world of guilds. The main character solves problems by using spells made of musical notes. Looks old fashioned now but it still plays really well.

Another classic point-and-click adventure that, on it's surface, seems more child-facing than it's contemporaries—probably because it's very fable-like. Notable for it's melody-based magic interfacing and the ad for it in [i]The Secret of Monkey Island[/i]. This is the 1992 version, with voice acting, which was truncated (and censored) to fit on CD-rom. The full, text-only version is probably superior, as the ending seemed less rushed and more impactful than here. Sadly, it didn't sell well enough, nor accumulate a large enough fanbase, to merit a [i]Secret of Monkey Island[/i]–style special edition which [i]could[/i] have included and/or integrated [b]all[/b] versions. This is why capitalism simply doesn't work. Still a cool game.

aaaahhhhhh, to play Loom again, after all these years, it looks as beautiful as i remember, an absolute classic of the good ole point n click days, if your investigating the era, you have found a gen right here

Very cute music based game, so sad the sequels never got made! The lore is amazing, but listen to the audio drama first! The puzzles were simple but still made me think, and the story is amazing.

This was probably one of the first (if not THE first) game I played with voice acting. The voice actors really made an effort even if it wasn't the British acting company. It was a new and interesting world to me though maybe a little confined. I played the original CD version as part of a Sound Blaster / CD ROM drive package in the early 90s. The Steam version worked well for me, though it had some troubles when I would Alt + Tab as normal keyboard control stopped working. Hitting Alt + M restored keyboard functions (F5 save menu for example) after returning to the game. Edit: It does limit you to a rather small window size. I don't know if there is a workaround, but I played it as is. Overall, it is an old, somewhat short game, but you can tell the team put their hearts into this.
