BOOK OF HOURS

I really enjoy this game.

If you like reading and puzzling things out with little guidance, this is for you. If it's not for you, you're gonna hate the game, so just move on. Some people have described this game as "Cozy" but I think that summons very different imagery. Book of Hours is a game about the occult, about learning forbidden things, about dissecting corpses under the light of the fading sun, about studying the history and using what you learn to solve the various puzzles and secrets contained within. It's very mentally intensive and getting "good" at it involves compiling notes and creating complex plans. It's relaxing, it's fun, but it's not "cozy." Around 20 hours in I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. If this game catches your interest it's worth buying at any price, cause you'll be able to spend a lot of time on it. Just try to avoid guides unless well and truly Stuck, I think the game is best played when you make your own wiki for it in your word processor.

好好玩

i like the art and gameplay to put in short - no tutorials, completely on yr own to explore and expriment - no guidance, again DIY - no hints, DIY but youtube have some if u really struggles, but still gotta figure the most part of the game

厚重的设定和显著增加的文本量，一如既往的谜语人，一如既往的无指引，没看攻略自己打的体感比前作要更加难以上手一些，正如我们狭隘的目光只能瞥见一重历史中如此单薄的一扇切片，就妄自称之真理。与密教模拟器相比，司辰之书的节奏明显不那么紧凑甚至可以说是松散，前期如果没有摸索明白的话会觉得有点无聊。 史诗级加强，相当有特色的美术，对于收集癖而言非常舒服的收纳体验，除了莫名其妙会把沙发突然塞进物品框之外是一部非常合我胃口的作品。不过能感觉出来是很挑人的游戏，如果不喜欢密教模拟器类型的卡牌游戏/慢节奏的收集/全凭氛围的谜语人文本，司辰之书也许并不适合你。有点像粉丝向作品

Other than an uncertainty on how to unlock the different houses in Brancrug and figuring out the ropes, it is an absolute blast. The anxiety of examining a book with just barely enough Nectar, the ecstacy of finally getting the right skill, the agony of waiting for the right visitor to teach you the right language, the bliss of finally unlocking the right room to upgrade the right soul, and the feeling of absolute wisdom when you discover what ingredients are needed to make that mixture you so desperately need. These are all the feelings and moments I get when playing this game and it is exactly why I understand why it may not be everyones cup of tea. If you thrive with those sorts of moments you will very much enjoy this game. Also, no shame in looking some aspects up on the net, though it is very much intended that you experiment on your own.
