ladies germs and others, hello! Most of this patch is prep work for HOUSE OF LIGHT (out next month) and for Russian and Chinese localisation (out next week, available now if you add loctest=1 to your config.ini). But some of it will interest those of you who (a) exist, like me, in the narrow span of now (b) also like me don't speak Russian or Chinese. There are now hotkeys for expand/contract trays - F1-F4 by default A few months back a very polite lady with arthritis wrote to me and asked if I could add this, so once I'd mostly wrapped HOUSE OF LIGHT, I found some time to do it. And I'm glad - I hadn't realised how much difference it makes even to those of us without especially disabled fingers. SHIFT-TAB (or SHIFT-other-assigned-sort-key) now undoes card sorting Likewise. That Undo button really is titchy. Apples are sometimes found on the moor So once HOUSE OF LIGHT is out, you can make Apple as well as Mushroom Meringue. yw. Although also once you have HoL, Timothy will sometimes bring apples to dinner from the Rectory orchard, as a thank you gift. (Mr Kille is your man for marrows.) Raw pheasant and beef can now be fed to your cat (or other carnivorous pet). Cats, and vipers, now drink milk And carnivores eat pilchards and mackerel and things. This was absurdly hard to do, because of knots about Sustenance, Raw, Ingredients, Remains that I'd tied myself in, and may have quirks. The Bronze Knife is now a Tool The main reason I put this unfathomable Thirzan athame in the game is to make sandwiches, so I forgot to add the tool aspect. Typewriters, and the Chronsicord, can now be used as Inks - and Typewriters won't be exhausted. Of course typewriters have much lower Aspect levels than most inks. It's balanced out rather nicely. Numerous fixes for Russian and Chinese loc. ...like, settings tooltips now expand dowwards and no longer uses small caps, for intricate font reasons...and, like, tweaking card sorting order so we can support multiple alphabets! Let me know at support@ about any anomalies. So many. And you'll probably see more bullet points in LEVINSEN and MATILDA saying 'still more loc fixes, also Japanese' ESC now leaves photo / HUD hidden mode I only put photo mode in originally when we were getting Trailer Farm to make our trailer, and they wanted UI-less screenshots. I'd forgotten it was there. But a helpful soul pointed out that if you hit F11 without knowing what you'd hit, the experience could be traumatic. Scrolling in the Wisdom Tree now disabled while you have Settings open. Finally set the Wisdom Tree to right-click-drag only. (I didn't realise left-click-drag even worked, and it didn't work well, so it confused people.) Next game (you read the teasers about the next game, didn't you?) will be a bit less experimental, so we'll make up less of the UI as we go along. Thanks all! Enjoy your F1-F4ing.

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.
