The long-awaited DAYMARE update, with a small but tasty list of features, is now on the beta branch. Expect this to make it to the live branch before Christmas. So what've we got? You can now order some goods through the post (if you don't have an order form, one will arrive inside a year) You'll need to go to the Post Office to send it, but the Royal Mail delivers directly even to Brancrug. Why does the UK call it 'post' not 'mail' but our org is the Royal Mail? Ask the Queen NO YOU CAN'T NOT ANY MORE You can now label bookshelves All the plaques were hand-placed by the charming other half of Weather Factory. We might move them if things get in the way. Timers for workstations look a bit spiffier Further future spiffier-ness is probable. You can now zoom while moving the camera Tightened up zooming controls I had to do a whole lot of fiddadling around when I was just back from holiday with Japanese flu, so there might be some leftover eccentricities. I've taken the slow easing effect off mouse zoom too. I liked it but a lot of other people didn't. Specifically, zoom level 2 now takes you to a level that allows interaction with room contents. This was always supposed to be the case! thanks to everyone who pointed out the bug, I finally tracked it down That annoying shelf in the Westcott Room is less annoying You know the one. Game won't unexpectedly switch between fullscreen and windowed when you open options Though I could have tried to pass this off as a 'hilarious prank Crafting helper panel now also works for Determinations and Histories This resolves some priority issues with recipes, and also gives you a bit more clarity generally Histories page now includes the pre-ending text for your later referencing pleasure Ending text is pretty elliptical already. It's even more elliptical when you can't see the pre and post texts side by side, which I wasn't as aware of as I should be because that's how I look at 'em in my spreadsheet Notification windows now universally respect the timeout option in Settings Sometimes software development is interesting and sometimes software development is less interesting than at other times when it's more interesting BONUS CONTENT! People get asking us when we were bringing our podcast, Skeleton Songs, back. We did, it's here again, with an episode about invisible magicians pinching the Pope's parts: https://weatherfactory.biz/skeleton-songs/ -- [A weird Unity problem means I can't build on Mac right now, so there's no Mac beta just yet. Mac players, we haven't forgotten you, I'm working on it]

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. ♥
