Our take on BOOK OF HOURS
The RPG label can understate how much of the experience centers on organizing a library, crafting items, studying occult systems, and assisting visitors. Combat is absent, and the stated playtime ranges from 20–40 hours to 100 hours.
What is BOOK OF HOURS?
Reconstruct Hush House, a decaying library beside a cold sea, within a story-driven crafting role-playing game set during the 1930s amid concealed deities and buried accounts of the past.
Find and examine arcane volumes and unusual objects, creating inks, memories, and other mysterious implements. Learn nine Wisdoms alongside the nine Elements of the Soul. People arrive with investigative requests; the Librarian may assist them for rewards. Delve into the Secret Histories and the Hours’ pantheon while repairing a structure founded upon an ancient abbey. Nine Legacies establish the character’s background, giving each playthrough a distinct possibility. There is no combat, and the stated playtime is 20–40 hours, extending to 100 hours.
