We're delighted* to be releasing the BOOK OF HOURS: Early Draft demo on Monday! Look out for a big green download button on our Steam page at 6PM GMT / 10AM PDT. We hope you enjoy it on your own, but we'll be playing through the demo ourselves in a Steam Broadcast on Thursday 9th Feb, at 6PM GMT / 10AM PDT. That's UK evening time so we will likely have appropriately hyggelig wine and candles. Join us to lift the lid on game dev. Hear us curse when we discover a bug! See Alexis talk inspiration and probably drop a crumb or two of lore! Find out how the Cultist Simulator tabletop's hiding in plain sight, and what's *really* going on behind that fog! The chat will be open, so we'd love to hear your comments, questions and blessings of the Madrugad. Hope to see you there. Alexis & Lottie *Actually, terrified.

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.
