Superb game but not for everyone
This is an outstanding narrative game, and an overall beautiful work of art. But it really isn't for everyone; make sure to play Cultist Simulator beforehand.

Unreliable Narrator Res-Man: The Game
For everybody who played Cultist Simulator and wanted two or three additional mechanical layers of thoughtful complexity within a maze-like overlay full of intrigue. This game is incredibly niche, and if you're like me who loves singleplayer board games that you can just veg out to, it may just be your cup of tea. The problem for some might be is that there's no real difficulty, but if you're one of those people that like freeform engagement and just want an experience of an evolving that may actually be its entire charm. There's something nice about puzzling out an open challenge and just hitting pause to slowly scroll over your possible assets and figure out a solution on your own. If you're truly lost ... just try talking to an assistant and angling for a new memory that might give you a bump here or there that can let you squeak out a new room expansion or new skill. Strictly speaking I believe Cultist Simulator is a better 'board-game like' if you're looking for something dead similar, but The Book of Hours is almost like a very personal, freeform RPG of sorts in comparison. The underlying themes of where knowledge comes from, how does it emerge, and can something truly come from nothing, and the tapestry of psychosocial relations that births forth esoteric wisdom, is both quaint and yet beautiful with its presentation. That being said ... This is a particularly niche type of a game that likely won't have broad appeal. I feel like if you're the artistic, creative and metaphysical-type of soul ... you'll recognize a kindred spirit in the depths of The Weather Factory at work in here and appreciate them and their product far more than someone that wants a 'game-game'. For those types of people, highly recommend--Amazing.

Awesome game, a bit hard to take in hand
Amazing concept, spirit and feeling. Quite hard to start, but if you watch one or two tutorial to start, then you can easily get your way through it. Great experience.
