About Looming

Looming follows an unnamed protagonist as he explores the plains of a mysterious world, finds clues, and uncovers a variety of beautiful intertwining stories.

You are September, a researcher sent to explore the strange land of Looming. You write and read several letters back and forth with your love, January. Through picking up and examining relics on the ground, finding secret pillars, and entering the several portals that are opened as you do this, you learn about two neighboring races, a creature, and a very peculiar natural event known as the Epiphany.
