Not much to say
A laid back and unharsh version of cultsim. A lot more simple, forgiving and laidback, but if you've never played cultsim it's still gona be challenging. I'm pretty much obsessed with this games lore and half of the game is reading anyways.

As good if not better than Cultist Sim
Having fallen in love with Cultist Simulator, I was afraid that Book of Hours would not live up to expectations, but it does. It takes the mechanics of CS and brings them to a new / different level. I am only a few hours into it, but it's already left its mark. This may be the most lovecraftian game ever made! Uncovering dreadful mysteries in forbidden books while fighting for your sanity is a much more unique and faithful experience to Lovecraft than fighting tentacle monsters, and it really works as a game. Must play!

Overcooked! - Slow Paced Occult Librarian Edition
Good: Bite Size nicely written lore dumps everywhere; under turtles, inside gull eggs, in the tubes of a church organ. Everywhere has a little something for you to find and enjoy, and the promise of more in another 5 minutes if you want it. Pleasant and relaxing soundtrack. Very sharp crafting engine. This does overlapping skills and resources extraordinarily well and would enrich a skyrim-like game massively, since it carries this game by itself. Charming visual style. Sound engineering, mixing and effects good enough to highlight separately; this is very clearly a well crafted sound scape. Bad: Intentionally janky UI - this is obviously a design choice and it succeeds in its goals making every action seem meaningful - but will not do your RSI any good. Good memory or the wiki on another screen required for complex tasks. The UI makes this even harder by spreading verbs widely across and actively hiding information from you until past the first step of an activity Personal Taste: Somewhat overcompensates Cultist Simulator's constant timed demand for action and reaction by having zero stakes whatsoever. Timing and Endurance based gameplay; there's no real failure state and identifying a win condition playing without a guide, never mind achieving it, will take at least 6 hours if you're lucky. I like this game even more than its predecessor. It's a pleasant, inviting experience to whittle away the hours and gently take the mind on an occult sight seeing tour. The UI is the most serious opponent in the game in that it seems designed to hinder you from completing tasks - but it's very clearly for a purpose.

Great writing, fun
The loops gets a bit repetitive and playing it without the wiki could involve creating spreadsheets and doing "work". Nonetheless, a pretty unique game that will keep you glued to the computer if you're interested in books, occult or both!
