What players say

Players are split on Book of Hours: some adore its cryptic, note-taking-heavy pace and beautiful eldritch writing, others find it impossibly opaque with no tutorial and little sense of progress. It rewards methodical players who enjoy figuring out obtuse systems on their own, but the same deliberate lack of clarity leaves many feeling stuck and frustrated.
