BOOK OF HOURS

I found Cultist Simulator to be neat, and was really hoping this would be an evolution on that formula. And it kind of is. The base mechanics are still there and used in nifty new ways. There's just a few things I cannot get over no matter how hard I try. First, the UI is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unredeemable mess. Once you get rolling and have a good amount of skills, soul elements, etc, the buckets at the bottom of the screen just get insane. And god help you if you want to find a skill with a specific Aspect. Yeah, you can click the aspect and it will momentarily highlight everything that has it. But that means you need the bin of skills pulled up, which takes up half the screen. It's just annoying and makes playing the game a chore. Additionally, you frequently need to find a combination of things. For example, I need a workbench that can evolve Hushery and allows Winter to be slotted. There is no way to search or highlight that combination. You can highlight one attribute at a time. So, you spam click on a workbench to highlight all of them, then you spam click Winter, and try to look for where they overlap. And this is in an environment with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of clutter. The game de…

Without an intro for us that have not played Cultist Simulator, this game is unplayable.

This is my cat's absolute favorite game. The instant she hears me start the music its straight into my lap and tons of purrs. She loves it so much that she has played it with me for three whole playthroughs. I play it with my mom (and cat) and she made a multipage chart for organization with important information we've learned. (That's why my hours are so low). We usually play one day before the cat puts me to sleep. Thankfully each day is a good play length. Absolutely a great game. Definitely unintuitive at first, there were lots of things I just didn't understand, but reading books gives clues to the world lore and how to unlock harder items.

It's a more fun version of Cultist Simulator. You still spin plates but it's a lot more forgiving and slower paced. Very enjoyable just watching bars fill and numbers go up. The lore is cool and reading little blurbs about every single book is fun. Highly recommend if you have autism

would strongly recommend this game for the lovers of cork board and string and a lot of note taking and experimentation. for the lovers of those games it presents a soothing game play loop of sorting and exploring the hidden histories of the world. however for those who just see it as a casual game to enjoy i would only recommend it tentatively if at all as the brick walls while not as steep and not as solid as those from cultist simulator they are still present and if you are not taking notes you will forget info and you will not absorb the overwhelming amount of information presented and ultimatley like me it might take 2 3 or even 5 tries to get into this game before understanding the ropes

A very good game about trying and failing, and trying again now with more knowledge.
