Book of Hours burrows into the minutiae of occult scholarship, tasking you with maintaining a library and deciphering esoteric texts. Its core is a deck-building system where you combine verbs and nouns to perform actions, from translating ancient languages to researching forgotten lore.

About Book of Hours

Details
Shutter the windows against the sea. Bank the fire against the cold. Listen to the rain rattle on the roof, while you slide books one by one into their ancient nests. For five centuries, the library of Hush House was a fortress of knowledge... until the fire. The collection is ruined, and the Librarian is dead. Your unique talents make you fit to rebuild the collection.
