BOOK OF HOURS (tuxdb.com)

▶

Happy 2021, librarians! A quick update for you on the first sprint of the year. Alexis has been refactoring Cultist Simulator's code to form BOOK OF HOURS's foundation, and as a seasoned indie dev knows that there are two very early and very unimportant-sounding things you need to do early in development. These are saving/loading (in progress) and a game's main menu, which forces you to think about things early on that you wouldn't otherwise. It also makes a game feel alive for the first time - so here's the janky, placeholdery menu for BoH! IT'S A REAL GAME NOW, MA!
This means we can update the BOOK OF HOURS rose window for the first time! (For those of you who, inexplicably, don't follow every single update of mine, this is the TLDR image we're using to track BoH's development progress.) Dun dun duuuuh...
More over on the blog, including first-century book thieves, terribly taxidermied lions and the Cultist Simulator Nintendo Switch page now live and open for wishlisty biz. Woot!

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 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.

Weather Factory is a two-person dev team supported by many brilliant freelancers. BOOK OF HOURS was partially funded by the European Union's Creative Europe Programme - MEDIA. Thank you, Europe! We love you. ♥
