About

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 of 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.

BOOK OF HOURS has been a great experience and offers a lot of fun even while I was trying to figure things out. It has great potential for its unique features and fun, satisfying gameplay.

Book of Hours is not a game of fancy for the faint of heart, as well as you might have guessed from the developer’s past titles. But it is a sprawling RPG journey, one which you will find yourself wrapped up within, particularly those of you who are equal lovers of books as of games and past times. While the challenge of the journey may get frustrating and difficult, the beauty of the prose and the aesthetic of the illustrations stay gorgeous throughout, inspiring you to keep reaching into the mysterious world just beyond your screen.

Overall, Book of Hours, with its narrative and properly implemented story elements, is what a dedicated CRPG fan is looking for. It is not too excessive nor too flashy on the eyes. Simplistic design, loveable characters, a huge map to play on, and complete freedom of the protagonist allow the player to freely choose their own way of getting themselves back on track. Book of Hours is going to be published on Steam on the 18th of August, and we thoroughly and thoroughly recommend checking it out.
