BOOK OF HOURS

"So yeah, the librarian paid me in advance 'round 6 AM. But before work, he said 'one more thing,' and gave me a glass of gin. Then he gave me a sardine to eat. Then he gave me some kind of magnifying glass that immediately shattered to bits. Then he walked in with a bouquet of flowers and asked if I was a literary major. I took engineering, so he threw the flowers away and handed me a can of gasoline? Then he started playing an entire song at me! He pulled out a drum kit and made me watch him do a whole solo. He was quite impressed with himself: 'I actually wrote this last night, and didn't instant forget it when I went to sleep' he said, 'isn't that neat?' Then it was time to work. I moved a sofa out of a doorway, but it was midnight by then, so I went home."

看完全部的文本之后变成可悲的疯人了。

This is like how Dark Souls has its entire lore contained within item descriptions, except that's the whole game

I've nominated this game for Labour of Love category. This team clearly has a passion for their stories and worlds, expressed in many forms - including their merch. (I'm proud to say I have both the original tarot deck as well as the one with the transparent backs). Looking forward to Travelling at Night!

图管日常：读书看报搓材料，摸猫摸狗捡垃圾，以及购物收获做饭酿酒(?)，各种分门别类整理屋子架子之类的……哦还有打工，为什么在游戏里也要工，原来是每年圣罗文信托给的那点赞助根本不够用（流泪猫猫头） 这么一看，完全就是魂质出门在外打拼，而我却悠哉游哉在家玩收纳小游戏，辛苦了，魂质！（x 哎！可是收拾书架和杂物架真的很有意思啊！什么九术登顶我不知道啊，我都二度降生了，来这儿不就是纯纯养老的吗(　ﾟ 3ﾟ)

good

A game great mostly for its rich esoteric worldbuilding, which is much more accessible than in Cultist Sim thanks to more cosy (but not less challenging!) gameplay. Its artstyle and themes speak for itself. Mechanically this game bases on collecting and spending resources in cycles, and increasing the potential max points you can achieve each cycle.
