Rebuilding Knowledge Amidst Ruins

In BOOK OF HOURS, players step into the shoes of the last Librarian of Hush House, a library steeped in history until a devastating fire reduced it to ashes. This combat-free RPG transports you into an atmosphere laden with melancholy, where you will engage in the peaceful yet fulfilling journey of restoring a once-great collection of occult and arcane knowledge.

Explore the Mysteries of Hush House

Players will acquire, restore, and catalogue a plethora of occult books, scrolls, and curiosities that hold the key to the library’s storied past. Disentangling the histories hidden within these texts is not just your task; it’s a catalyst for rebuilding the narrative of the library itself. As you reconstruct Hush House, each discovery reshapes the path ahead, making every choice significant.

Unraveling the Nine Wisdoms

Your understanding of the world will deepen as you study the nine Wisdoms that influence it. With the elements of the soul as your guide, navigating through the secrets of your surroundings will unlock new prospects for exploration and mastery. The serene focus on knowledge acquisition and personal growth creates a distinctive atmosphere that sets this title apart from other PC RPGs.

Guiding Visitors Through Their Stories

The experience is enriched by the interactions with visitors seeking your guidance. Who you choose to assist and how you guide them will shape not just their stories, but potentially your own. Each character brings their own narrative into the library, providing rich opportunities for storytelling and character development throughout your playthrough.

Discover Your Legacy in a Mystical Setting

Your identity in BOOK OF HOURS is defined by choices surrounding nine distinct Legacies. Will you be an ambitious Magnate fleeing material wealth for serenity, an Archaeologist unraveling ancient mysteries, or perhaps a more enigmatic figure like the Symurgist? Each Legacy opens different routes and interactions within the game, making your journey uniquely yours.

Cultivating Your Own Sanctuary

Restoration of the crumbling edifice is not just about books—it's about crafting a personal sanctuary where you can cultivate knowledge and peace. This aspect of the game adds a layer of customization, allowing you to curate your environment to reflect your journey and values. Your home becomes a canvas, rich with the stories and artifacts you collect along the way.

A Homegrown Development with European Roots

Developed by a dedicated two-person team at Weather Factory, BOOK OF HOURS stands as a testament to independent game creation. Funded in part by the European Union's Creative Europe Programme, this title merges innovative design with a rich narrative experience. Players not only encounter a deeply atmospheric world but also contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding independent game development.
