I love how when you start it does not tell you what to do, but you pick something up by accident and you ask yourself "What does this do?" So you try to find out and in doing so you fine other weird items not knowing what they do and eventually you find out what they do and all the pieces of the story come together. In this particular case curiosity overpowers determination because you want to keep looking because its intriguing not because you have t o beat it.

For anyone who is stuck on the endings: 1: simple, tap 'x' on the portal just below where you start. 2: similair to 1, but you must be in the map for atleast 1 minute. 3: find all the signposts, and then go south from the final signpost to find a portal. 4,5,6,7: Collect all of one artefact, and then find the location that opens when you find all of one item. 8: Find the portal, near the top of the map, in the middle. 9: First, find the four signposts in each corner of the map. Then go to the lights, and change them to the direction needed. For example, SW star shines East means you must turn the bottom left light so it shines east.
Please rate up, so other gamers can see this mini-walkthrough!

hmm... I notice there are a number of people who want to have some kind of map. Obviously an automatic one would make the game too easy, so I think it would be an interesting feature if you could draw your own.

Very good game and concept, but i just can't seem to find the last pixel, i know i must have over looked it, but it needs some sort of pointer system or those crawling things can help direct you...

hmm, based on the old adventure game "Loom", by Lucasart, right? Nice, I loved the old one. Let's see how this one plays out.

Can't keep looking at screen....too...much....blandness! O.o Why are we only seeing black and white and no shades of gray? (other than those mysterious gray clouds lol)

@Seadrake - The ninth one you're looking for: There are TWO portals that can be opened with the Spotlights. One with the diagram, and the other with the 4 star signposts. Hope that helps!

@Seadrake - Thanks for posting the endings, it helped me fill in one of my missing ones. But #7 is wrong. Thats the only one I'm missing and I've already done the portal you mentioned. I have the 9th (far right) ending, but I have no idea what I did to get it. Sorry!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Ah hah, I worked out where the ninth portal is.
I was mistaken in believing they were related to the writings of the Seecha and the Lorem, and were related to the two rows of spires to the south east.
I was wrong, it turns out the portal south of the start wasn't the only portal you could leave in two different ways.
You just have to scour every nook, cranny and corner of the map to understand it.

I was just about to say how much the amazing landscapes and strong storyline reminds me of some games Gregory Weir has made, but then I just realized that he made this game. Keep up the awesome work!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yes, i enjoy the story, yes i enjoy the premise of finding out about the past settlers, no i don't enjoy wandering aimlessly looking for single white pixels that are out of place on a giant white pixel grid.
I went back and forth 1 screen at a time until i went from bottom to top of the map. I am still missing 2 relics. it took me about a a half hour of the most tedious thing I remember doing.

Dear January,
I am currently hunting down those bastards that is rating Looming 1-4/5. I wish I am back home, full of your love, but those idiots really get on my nerves...
Yours, September.

"I'm bored." -what you wanna do?- "Search for dots in a field of thousands of slightly smaller dots." -You have fun with that!- (meh, its a neat game ~ 3/5)

Endings (not in order) That I remember finishing. 1) Leave right away 2) Spend some time (1-2+ min) then leave 3) Collect all the tally's and leave through the Triangle tent thinga-ma-bob 4) Collect all the rings and leave through the dome 5) Collect the bones and leave through the portal between 4 small domes. 6) Arrange the lights according to the diagram 7) Follow the path to the end and leave that way 8) (my most frustrating one) Find all the hidden signposts. The first hidden post will tell you that the 2nd is the 2nd yay. One of the later ones says find the two gears and go north. Don't just go north, you will find a post but it's out of order now and you need all of them.
Can anyone list the last solution? Far right ending.

If you click the newgrounds logo, it freezes the games and pulls up that menu like flixel ngine games do. Problem is, when you try to click on the game to put it in focus, it just takes you to newgrounds again. Might want to look at that.

I would recommend waiting to finish this when theres medals installed because this took me a little while to fully complete

After you find all of the portals you can see some notes about the game as a reward.
I think this game was beautiful in its own way really.

A very interesting game that was surprisingly addictive. 4/5. One thing you could have added was a minimap that only shows where you were so you dont get lost 4 times trying to find somewhere you've been.

I liked this game a lot, even though I had to search for the fifth bone for a long time. I would have welcomed a bit more information on January and September, why he enters Looming the first time & what it is -- but still, a very good effort.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
this game needs a MAP! not necessarily an active minimap, might make things a bit TOO easy, but at least an activatable map without your position on it, so you know where X is when you need it, relative to any random objects you stumble upon, which should be revealed on said map as you find them.

What a game. You get hooked from the beginning when you come back after using the first portal and finding out about 8 more. Great game, shame about the wlking speed to get to the four hidden signposts faster would've been nice. Seech are better than Lorem!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I found all the artifacts without doing methodical searching or getting any hints. Found a few of the "turn-in" sites as well, but damned if I can find them again.

I kind of think that the diagrams portal was unfair, there isn't any indication of where your supposed to use the knowledge, aside from the fact that there are directions in respect to 4 objects (HINT HINT). This clue also helped a bit:http://twitter.com/GregoryWeir/status/17820949426. Anyways, nice game, but much too tedious for a perfect score, 4/5

So the second ending was the last one i got after getting everything else. Getting it consisted of me chasing birds around for 2 minutes with yakkety sax playing in my head.

Either I'm sleepy, Or this game is pointless and boring as heck... ... I'll pick the high road and just rate it a three.. I never did like walk-around-and-solve-mystery games, no reason to hate what others like/love...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think that one of the seemingly easy endings (number 2) is one that a lot of people (including myself) skipped over. The get ending two, stay in Looming for one minute or more then leave through the portal that you started next to.

I love it. But it is nearly impossible to find all the pieces. I've been playing for some time now and have all but one diagram piece. It is a little disheartening to come this far and not know what happens. 5/5 for a fantastic game, but minus some awesome points for me not wanting to keep playing after 3 hours.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
3/5. Decent game, I get the concept, but far too tedious. I felt compelled to finish, but it was more in a "Grah!! how the HECK do I get this last one!?!?" way, as opposed to the good "Gee, I wonder what the next one will be." Way.
