LOOM

The Guild of Weavers has achieved such mastery in their trade that they discovered the secret of weaving the very fabric of reality.

They were treated with suspicion by other guilds, who eventually accused them of practicing witchcraft and banned them to a secluded island, which they called Loom.

Bobbin Threadbare is a young man from the Guild of Weavers.

He is outcast from the guild and blamed for the lack of prosperity in recent times, though he does not know why.

Bobbin's stepmother Dame Hetchel teaches him the art of weaving magical drafts, and Bobbin embarks on a journey to find the lost flock, and the answers to his questions.

All the puzzles in the game are solved by learning and correctly applying these drafts.

Each draft is a sequence of four notes within one octave.

The player learns new drafts by exploring the environment and interacting with it through a simple point-and-click interface.

Once a draft has been learned, it may be applied in a different situation in order to solve a problem.

Drafts range from simple general actions (such as opening) to more specific and complex commands, e.g. turning straw into gold.

Drafts can also be "reversed", i.e. played bac
