BOOK OF HOURS

相比密教去除了跟赤石一样的生存费，太阳战争之后发生了什么依旧神秘

This game is great; it's a huge puzzle with a certain depth to it. But it took me three attempts to figure out what I could do. I don't read everything (as recommended!), so I have to do more things more often and more slowly. But without time pressure, that works too. It suits my rhythm well. I like to come back to the game again and again to unlock a new talent or a new room, and I'm very happy when I've mastered a deeper level of complexity. I also use some online help from other players because I can't remember that many combinations. Some people may find that frustrating, repetitive and boring, so it's simply a matter of taste. (5/5)

In my first attempt at the game I became obsessed with the books which is accurate to real life.

好玩，细玩

One of my favorite games, excellent writing and deep lore wrapped into a cozy puzzle solving game. In my opinion, it requires documentation to track what you learn and enable planning. There are layers of secrets as well, that are rewarded by rereading everything.

Book of Hours is one of my Go-To cosy games. It has a phenomenal atmosphere, and I’ve found it a comforting tradition to boot it up with a cup of tea and go through the motions of restoring the old library. It can admittedly be very difficult to play, in that the game does not explain itself what-so-ever. There is little in the way of instruction, but I believe that to be the point. It is a game at its core about discovering secrets, and as such the player must figure out what it is they are doing, and how to do it. The downside of this is that you will very likely be googling how to do various things in the game in order to progress, the upside is that when you do discover a secret on your own, the feeling of discovery, of delving into old texts to uncover some hidden secret is unparalleled. Its mechanics are satisfying, and its gameplay loop is much more forgiving than its predecessor “Cultist Simulator” The process of unlocking books to upgrade skills, to upgrade your Soul, to unlock more books is smooth and entertaining. It does get to a certain point where it takes quite a bit of time management and skill to unlock certain things, however I found that to be a refreshing uptick in the game's difficulty level as you enter its final stages. Book of Hours in addition to impeccable atmosphere and a satisfying game-play loop, has a rather intriguing narrative element. I cannot say I understand the story of this universe at all. It is esoteric, strange, and eldritch in a way I find delightful. It truly gives you the impression that you are dealing with forces completely outside comprehension and reason. I personally began taking notes on the story, trying to unravel it. Through this I managed to understand small pieces of this game's lore, but just enough was left a mystery that I often find myself wandering back to the game in order to tease out other small pieces of information to appease my curiosity. Overall Book of Hours is a fantastic game, and if you are interested in an atmospheric, lore-rich, puzzle game, with a hint of eldritch horror I cannot recommend this game enough.
