BOOK OF HOURS

One of the most engrossing and maximalist stories I've ever played. The anti-canon approach that the writer uses is incredibly clever. Amazing game from top to bottom. Frustrating at times but very, very rewarding. Will definitely come back to it.

It's better than Cultist Simulator, but also suffers from some of the same flaws as Cultist Simulator. If you disliked Cultist Simulator I don't expect you'd like Book of Hours. Overall the game is similar - uncover occult mysteries, via game mechanics that are initially confusing but which you gradually work out. The player's experience with the mechanics of the game mirrors the protagonist's progress through the game. What makes the game better than cultist simulator is the broadening of mechanics. As well as researching mysterious secrets, you're exploring rooms of a mansion, and doing some gathering/crafting. Apparently Book of Hours is more forgiving than Cultist Simulator. It is difficult to find the items you need. The main tool seems to be visually scanning the map for items that highlight when you mouse over a related icon. However you typically want to find things that match two icons, not just one. The answer seems to be a lot of physically rearranging items into different rooms, in order to group things to make searching easier. However the rooms in the house don't hold many items. This is all rather awkward. Overall, expect heavy note-taking, and lots of waiting for shortish timers to finish.

I get that some folks love having to discover everything by themselves, but the complete lack of guidence in this game just makes it feel pretentious and unfun for what I look for in a game

A perfect spiritual successor to 'Cultist Simulator.' 'Book of Hours' masterfully understands that the joy of playing is linked to the joy of learning how to play. I implore you to go in blind, resisting any guides is essential, because the process of unraveling its mysteries is the game's greatest reward. That strength, however, is also its limitation regarding replayability. For me, the magic didn't hold for a second playthrough once the secrets were uncovered. Nevertheless, it's a must-play for genre enthusiasts. A brilliant, if somewhat one-time, experience.

I don't know, man. Maybe it's because I was the kid who took a volunteer summer job at a tiny library with a jumbled card catalogue and no other filing system and LOVED IT. I had no idea what I was doing then and I have only the tiniest inkling of what I'm doing now, but I find that super engaging. There is no tutorial, which will be off-putting for a lot of people. But just read and eventually things will come together. Everyone saying they were just "randomly dropping cards" into slots, missed the point entirely. If you want something intuitive, this is not for you. Another reviewer said that if you like to stare at spreadsheets, you'll like this game. That was the review that sold me on it and it was very accurate so far.

返信を出すところまでたどり着いた時点のレビューです。 説明やヒントがほぼないので、人を選びそうです。 カードスロットをクリックすれば置けるカードが光るので、片っ端から置いてみてどうなるのか探っていくことになります。 本の解読が全く進まずまだゲーム本来の楽しさにたどり着けていない感じがしますが、手探りなりに沈黙の家の解放は進んでおり楽しめています。
