BOOK OF HOURS

When I started playing Book of Hours, I was apprehensive about it. Cultist Simulator, Weather Factory's previous game, had fascinated but ultimately stressed me out. How grateful I was then, when I found out that Book of Hours is almost entirely stress free game. The Librarian is above worldly concerns like eating or being pursued by federal agents, they're just here for the books. Book of Hours is first and foremost a game about exploration and reading. Almost anything you can interact with in the game either has slots where you can place objects or attribute and ability cards. In many cases, this grants you access to books. The many different books of the library of Hush House are filled with occult knowledge and unlocking them lets you improve your librarian which in turns lets you explore further. The game invites you to explore not just your new place of residence but also its many different systems and even provides you a few hidden riddles and easter eggs. As you develop your occult abilities with what you've learned from the books in the library, you will be able to assign those abilities to the Tree of Wisdom, granting you more basic attribute cards, which the game calls Elements of the Soul. For certain more complex books you will need to combine attributes, abilities, tools found around Hush House and so-called Memories. These memories are temporary ressources you can generate from various sources and the game had me keeping a list on where to get which memory so I could have the right one on hand whenever I wanted it. You would obviously not be a librarian if you would not periodically receive strange and mystical visitors with occult questions of their own. If you have a fitting piece in your catalogue, you can let them peruse it, or you might offer them some occult currency in exchange for them teaching you something. The game has so many more systems that all fit together into an awesome bigger picture and really offer tons to sink your teeth into. The background music is fairly muted, but atmospheric and underlines the contemplative mood of the game. I want to put special note on the visuals. Even though the game mainly works with symbology, I found what art it had extremely evocative and felt drawn in by the many different illustrations, be it on attributes, the library itself or other parts, I was highly enamored with what's on offer here. I wholeheartedly recommend Book of Hours because few games have fascinated me to the degree that I kept multiple documents about aspects of the game! If you enjoy games that feel highly rewarding to explore, enjoy piecing together an understanding from lore snippets and the theme of occult libraries, you really can't go wrong here. Just don't go in expecting something incredibly action-packed. Quick note: I played the game with the expansion House of Light which to my understanding added some immensely cool systems that really elevated the experience while not feeling tacked on in the slightest. I think playing the base game without expansion first still offers a complete and fulfilling experience but the expansion certainly added the icing on the cake for me.

电脑里有一款书能不能看懂取决于今天是什么天气的游戏 添加一些桌面整理模拟器，添加一些阅读模拟器，再添加*大量的*合成大西瓜（大技艺），我们就得到了司辰之书！ 好吧，认真点说，游戏不算特别好玩，但如果你喜欢正午世界观和密教模拟器的话，你会喜欢这个游戏的 （我就这样吃了一百多个小时的合成大技艺...不演了我就是喜欢合成大技艺！！） 以及你怎么知道我九魂九术登顶了（跑来跑去） 汝等大能，视吾伟业！

不好玩，很无聊，没有指引不知道怎么玩下去，玩了一下午感觉浪费了一下午，摸索不出它的玩法和操作意义，也没有得到正面的情绪回馈，但是退不了款了，放着吧

玩了十多个小时了，除去一开始开房间的新奇后，后面实在是不知道干什么了，教程wiki写的比我专业课还复杂，越玩越累。。。实在是不推荐

很少认真写评论了。 没事的时候就会想起来这个游戏，坦白说这游戏的文笔、氛围都特别好，但游戏性一般，因此过完第一遍之后，久久处于开了新档又想放弃的状态。就像我的第一个结局。“也许这已是我所求的全部。我有我的炉火，我的书籍，我的座钟……但有些人认为，这是司辰之书最好的结局。”然而一段时间后又会想起来这个游戏。倒不是玩不下去，只是觉得玩过一遍了。背后的世界观、秘史我也查的看的差不多了，前作也买来玩了。 我甚至很难说是喜欢秘史，还是因为这个游戏爱屋及乌，喜欢上秘史。 这游戏总是给我一种逃脱现实的悠闲感，不急不缓，今天过完还有明天，没钱了甚至可以等下一年的津贴。闲下来可以去山里检点木材海边捡点沙子，捡了蛇猫猫狗乌龟，我很少邮购，可能买点做饭，买点咖啡泡着喝，再别的也没有了。村民其实交际不多，除了让来帮忙，偶尔也会怀念星露谷那种村民，多点交互但当然不现实。说是管理图书馆，其实每年没啥事，偶尔有人来咨询你一些问题，借一些书，其实也不会有借书不还的现象。甜蜜的骨头感觉氛围很好，写到这的时候，很想吃基尔夫人做的派，当然没能设身处地确实可惜，很喜欢一切最开始的时候，在那边烘干书籍，那边年年人来人往，遇到不同的人。再后来买了dlc，喜欢摘花泡茶。花园一年四季不同的花开、结果，会摘一点做食物。 其实大部分时候，都是在为了目的服务，又让我觉得很可惜。要是可以真的随意就好了，比如采花装修，随便做点小菜，并非dlc宴会野餐，我很难说，可能因为我也玩星露谷吧。但我也不是那种把村民叫出来喝个茶晚上就让遣返的人。所以我泡茶，泡冬天的花，是唯一的穹性相茶，喝了让他们干活。本质上我是个效率至上的人。 第一次玩了20h，弃档重开，跟着wiki终于过了，如今又后悔，后悔第一遍通关是跟着wiki对着查，失去了很多探索的乐趣。坦白说没有能玩的进去的心态，那大抵是索然无味和浪费时间。这游戏引导真的挺烂的，如果真的想玩就去wiki查一下新手指南，善用wiki。日记也要呈递。九术登顶很难，不用着急，不必强求。 我本身就是一个极其喜欢文字的人，在我眼里《极乐迪斯科》，最开始的《重返未来1999》，和秘史系列，都有其共同之处，我都很喜欢那种神神秘秘的文字氛围。 目前在等续作夜游漫记出来，准确来说等中文版出来，因为之前的《丝之歌》，有点忧心翻译问题，但希望不会。 如果生活真这么悠闲就好了。

才发现居然没有测评过,补一下 缺点：游戏中需要注意，但是刚开始玩一定会走弯路的小巧思过多。首先必须开EXCEL记笔记就不多说了。主要是从游戏性上来说负反馈完全大于正反馈 内容上技艺差距过大，5/10阶能造墨水回忆，直接转化即战力的技艺就是比给中间产物的技艺高贵太多。不看维基的情况下，前期为了凑魂质都是有啥技艺呈递啥，等玩到开始研究配方合成的时候就会面临是否要用及其有限的资源升级已经呈递过的技艺（此时大概已经是平均呈递到二阶，，地图开到上方的教堂的时候了）。同时在工作台升级魂质发现呈递的技术的准则不对塞不进工具台也很让人沮丧，尤其是一般这个时间总有一两本书就差一点就能读。一周目初见给人强烈的挫败感会感觉是自己没规划好，但是转念一想游戏开局各种信息不透明也没法规划。这种“软锁死”也是我当初玩了十几个小时直接删档重新开始二周目的原因，然后看着维基边玩边研究顺顺利利的通关。归根结底还是节奏太长太慢了，跟密教刚开局那种什么都不懂瞎搞，虽然死的快但是游戏本身节奏快，重开无成本，学的也快，正反馈强烈的情况是截然相反的，这里是你走了很长一段路才发现你走岔了，要付出更多的艰辛才能回到大路， 虽然但是，氛围实在太无敌了，能让我忍受以上一切缺点重复游玩，所以在快半年没玩之后，趁着现在闲暇时间多，开了新周目带着一颗全新的脑子不看维基重新开始游玩，纯纯的享受游戏，在忘掉大部分技艺配方只记得一点游戏经验的情况重新靠着各种只言片语猜配方，规划游戏进度，做笔记，在有了心理预期的情况对，对这款游戏就只剩下享受二字了

你能找到的不是星露谷物语的游戏中最像星露谷物语的一款。

I really wanted to love this game. It has a lot of really awesome ideas, great art, music, theme, etc. The problem is the game mechanics are just too opaque. Even after 25 hours, the basics of crafting and upgrading feel like guess-and-check, without mechanical consistency. Sometimes you can use certain cards, and sometimes you can't. Overall I just barely don't recommend this game.
