Description


For fifteen centuries, Hush House was a fortress of knowledge. Until the fire. The collection is ruined, and the last Librarian is gone. Only one with your unique talents can rebuild the library.

BOOK OF HOURS is an elegant, melancholy, combat-free RPG set in an occult library, from the creator of Fallen London, Sunless Sea and the double BAFTA-nominated Cultist Simulator.

Enjoy the sweet peace of organising books and customising your new home, all while unpeeling centuries of history from the occult stones about you.

The Librarian's influence extends far beyond the walls of Hush House. It's up to you to determine how history is written.



In this 20 - 40 hour game, you'll:

ACQUIRE, RESTORE and CATALOGUE occult books, scrolls and curiosities.

STUDY the nine Wisdoms, and conquer the nine Elements of the Soul.

GUIDE visitors who come seeking your assistance, choosing their paths and stories.

EXPLORE the Secret Histories and the pantheon of Hours that rules them.

RESTORE a vast crumbling edifice built on the foundations of an ancient abbey.

WREST your past from obscurity. Choose from nine different Legacies which determine who you are. You might be a Magnate, abandoning wealth to seek peace. Or an Archaeologist, fleeing the curse you awoke. Or perhaps your origins are more esoteric, like the Symurgist, or Twiceborn? Each playthrough offers different opportunities.

Lacks important QoL features

For a game about being a librarian, the developers did a really shoddy work implementing what seems to be the most important part of the game - a central database or journal that would store all the acquired knowledge. The game could be so much better with an illustrated, searchable encyclopedia that would let you browse and ponder over all the (deliberately cryptic and obtuse) lore. Instead, the developer just implemented an "copy to clipboard" feature and called it a day, offloading his job to the player - allegedly, you are supposed to ALT-Tab to external application and make manual notes. From game design point of view, that's insane, arrogant and lazy, hence the low score.

I love it

Been playing it since launch, i enjoy it a lot! It is way simpler and more easy than cultist simulator, with the same incredible lore.

The best game I ever played

If yuo don't know what you want in life, I bet playing with a virtual dollhouse to unearth eldritch secrets in a library is probably a good contender. And this game does the job pretty well

Cultist Simulator without stakes

If you liked the idea of Cultist Simulator but it made you too anxious or you died too often, this is your game.
