Beautiful, but gets tedious fast.
First of all, let me say your writing is what made me keep going back to Looming. I loved the letters especially... Your writing is extremely professional and I adored every comment on the items. The story is wonderful too, and I wish it wasn't a game so I could keep reading. :)
The graphic design was very simple; I've always loved pixelated games, and it's perfect for this type of exploring game. Instead of dazzling the audience with special effects, the minimalist style was refreshing. I appreciate that. It leaves visions of imagination that the viewers themselves access...
However, the game did become tedious after a while. The vast, empty spaces in the map were a pain to get around. I mean, it took almost an entire minute to get across the entire map. The only reasons the game took me so long to finish were the speed of the character and the sheer width of the map. I wish you took more time in designing the map to make it a little less boring. Although the ruins and such were beautiful, they were few and far apart. I wish there were more little things in the landscape besides occasional birds and ruins.
In general, I loved this game because the story was captivating and addictive. I hope in your future games you incorporate more writing and better design.
