Jan. 2026
Once more, a reminder that it takes a simple pressure of Alt+S to remove that ugly "modern" filter. Loom may have been the first title to make young me realize that yes, video games can be art. An highly experimental "anomaly" in the Lucasfilm/arts catalogue, concentrated on story and atmosphere rather than puzzles, it also features a very original approach to the latter, based on musical magic spells made up of four notes. Experimentation is key, as these spells are obtained from interactions with other objects, and also work played in reverse. It's short but it takes the player through some of the most "magical" locations drawn at the time, especially the glass city. Unfortunately, the version offered here is the relatively worst of the existing ones. It's not about the VGA graphics, even if the higher quantity of details doesn't necessarily equal a better art direction, losing the sharpness and the amazing use of the few colors available of the EGA graphics, on top of all the close-up portraits. It's rather about technical limitations of the time that forced to cut content: as this version originally made use of CD audio tracks, to fit everything many dialogues ended up cut or simplified, and locations that had music now have silence or sound effects. This version is also is voiced but the voice acting is less than stellar, which makes for a further strike against the game's atmosphere. Beside the simple beauty of the original EGA version, there's also a Japanese FM Towns version that mixes the best parts of it and the VGA version (close-ups in 256 colors!). Alas, unlike the release of Zak McKracken which includes its FM Towns release nothing of the sort has been done. Another classic but not in its "optimal" form, so don't feel ashamed of looking up for those other versions online.

Loom was an unexpected treat. While the VGA PC CD-ROM version does not quite match the handcrafted beauty of the original EGA DOS release with its stunning 16-bit color, dithered backgrounds, and painterly aesthetic, it still preserves the game's most remarkable feature: its music-based interface. At a time when most adventure games relied on cumbersome text commands, Loom stood out as a seamless and elegant experience. It helped define the point-and-click adventure genre and set a new standard for Lucasfilm Games by removing the possibility of losing, encouraging players instead to explore freely and experiment without fear. The story unfolds in a dark yet humorous fantasy world, told through beautifully composed MIDI adaptations of Swan Lake and presented with the charm of an interactive tapestry. Despite its age, Loom manages to surprise with clever humor; there is even a mid-story twist that genuinely caught me off guard and made me laugh out loud. Overall, it is a deeply enjoyable and unique experience that deserved the sequels it never received, even though it sold well and remains a timeless example of creative storytelling in games.

There are some games that entertain you, some that challenge you, and then there are the rare few that feel like they enchant you. Loom is one of those games. It doesn’t bombard you with combat or complex mechanics; instead, it invites you into a world woven with music, mystery, and quiet melancholy. You step into the role of Bobbin Threadbare, a reluctant hero and the last of the Weavers, armed only with a distaff and the ability to shape reality through song. Magic here isn’t about casting fireballs or wielding weapons—it’s about learning the language of the world, unraveling its secrets one note at a time. The concept of playing melodies forward to create and backward to undo is beautifully simple yet deeply immersive, making every discovery feel like a whispered secret between you and the game. The story unfolds like a fairy tale, tinged with sadness and wonder, full of lost legacies and an impending fate you can’t escape. The world is painted in soft pixel art, evoking a dreamlike quality that pairs perfectly with the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, inspired by Swan Lake . Even though the game is short, its impact lingers long after the credits roll, like a melody you can’t quite forget. Loom is a game that speaks in whispers rather than shouts, one that leaves you feeling like you’ve experienced something fragile and fleeting, yet profoundly magical. It may be one of LucasArts’ most underrated gems, but for those who have played it, it remains unforgettable.
