Loom is a 1990 fantasy-themed graphic adventure game by Lucasfilm Games.A departure from other Lucasfilm adventure games in many senses, Loom is based on a serious and complex fantasy story. With its experimental interface, it eschewed the traditional paradigm of graphical adventures, where puzzles usually involve interactions between the game character, the environment, and items the character has in their possession.Loom’s gameplay centers instead around magical four-note tunes known as “drafts” that the protagonist, Bobbin Threadbare, can play on his distaff. Each draft is a spell that has an effect of a certain type, such as “Opening” or “Night Vision.” Some drafts can be reversed by playing their notes backwards, so the “Dye” draft played backwards becomes “Bleach,” while others, such as the “Terror” draft, are palindromes (e.g. C–E–E–C) and so cannot be reversed in this manner.
