There is never any escape from Christmas. So you might as well embrace this years edition of the BOOK OF HOURS advent calendar!
What is this so-called advent calendar?
Its a set of small daily Secret Histories treats, because we love Christmas. You can redeem each item every day either in BOOK OF HOURS or in the real world. The calendar runs from 1st - 25th December.
Whats *in* the advent calendar?
A mix of in-game items and little real-world treats. Well announce whats behind every day's door at noon on our social channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), and update this blog post with a megalist of everything released so far.
How do I get it?
Make sure you have the latest version (2024.12.m.3). Youll see Christmas decorations appear throughout Hush House when in-game winter rolls around, and will be able to redeem any in-game gifts from Reverend Timothys Christmas tree next to his Rectory in Brancrug Village. Please note: you cant get advent calendar gifts during spring, summer or autumn. You have to wait for in-game winter to appear (or start in winter) to receive any in-game items. When playing at x6 speed, the longest youll have to wait is a maximum of ~6 minutes.
What if I miss a day?
Any in-game items will remain available on Reverend Timothys Christmas tree until midnight on New Years Eve. The advent calendar ends on Christmas Day, but you have an extra week to collect any missed items after then! Real-world gifts are either only usable on that day, or will be available in perpetuity. Check the megalist of advent gifts below to see what they are (or were).
What if I *hate* it?
You can turn off any and all seasonal art in the Settings menu. Sob. *** Finally, there's quite a big reveal behind one of these doors, so you may want to susbcribe to our newsletter to make sure you don't miss anything. I think you'll like 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. ♥
