Secret Histories universe feels too complex for me, but gosh, I love the atmosphere of Book of Hours. The music, the title texts, the handdrawn details. It is such a comfy, beautiful game, and I doubt that any 3D realistic design would achieve that for me.

I recently finished reading Richard Wollheim's "Painting As An Art".
I found much of it stimulating in the close attention paid to particular pictures and thought provoking with regard to his theory of "seeing in" as the way to understand our perception of paintings.
On the other hand, his use of psychoanalytic theory left me with questions.
Surprisingly, his use of this theory reminded of some recent reading of mine in evolutionary psychology. Both Wollheim and the evolutionary psychologists stress the significance of a common human nature and are inclined to downplay the importance of systems of symbols or culture in general.
I do think that a substantive concept of human nature makes sense, and I am open to the possibility of evolutionary psychology and psychoanalytical theory contributing to an understanding of of human nature.
Altogether less agreeable to me is the tendency of these theories to smuggle in a social ontology in which culture is merely the creation of atomized individuals. One can believe in the evolved nature of the mind and allow for the possibility of certain kinds of psychic forces at work in the individual without denying the importance, still less the existence, of social facts. Thinking about languages as at once learned and used by individuals but also existing as entities external to those individuals is helpful here.

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!
I wonder if this cute critter could have been an inspiration for the Bile Demon from Dungeon Keeper or the Oracle Envoy from Elden Ring.

Two character portaits I made for The Matter of Being.
Meet Victor and Mohammed! Two of the first human characters you are going to meet in the game.

My favourite tune from #BookOfHours sound track is Sea Holly. To me it suggests ineffable mystery and feels very fitting for the theme of the game.

I’m starting to get the hang of how to do things in #BookOfHours, but I’m still missing one key ability: How to make more ink. The game takes place in early 20th century, so enlarging your hoard of books involves a lot of letter-writing. I’m beginning to suspect that the single vial you start with was supposed to be used to order more. But on the other hand, the game doesn’t seem to have a failure state, so there’s probably an another way. I have a small garden, but no relevant skills.

#BookOfHours is from the same software company that made the Cultist Simulator. While imminent doom is a key mechanic in the latter, the former is much more laid-back. You find yourself on the beach, apparently a survivor from a shipwreck. You establish yourself in the village and begin settling into the old manor at the tip of the peninsula. I haven't gotten into the occult yet, but I expect it's coming.
