Spencer Hobson isn't even a Know?

My short term memory is foggy - but what I gathered from Travelling at Night footnotes, namely about Stag gate - all the answers you can provide in the footnote suggest he never crossed it. He never tried OR never succeeded.

How is it possible? How could a person so accomplished in the arts (or at least one that lives and acts with secret knowledge for so long) never reach that milestone?

EDIT: Reviewed those two footnotes on Know and Stag Door - it is indicated that he reached the door (did not cross it) and knows Ghirbi. So maybe.. it is his wisdom and very conscious choice not to become a Know.. Or he sucks at riddles.

The Witch of Lagash caused the War in the Sun

I am not crazy! I know she started the War in the Sun! I knew it was 1940. One after the War in the World. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. She - she covered her tracks, she got that idiot at the sanitarium to lie for her. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This hocus-pocus!? She's done worse. That painting! Are you telling me that a painting just happens to land in the hands of a Name of the Crowned Growth? No! She orchestrated it! Nyn! She let Eternity win! And I let her! And I shouldn't have. I took her into my own library! What was I thinking? She'll never change. She'll never change! Ever since Ancient Sumeria, always the same! Couldn't keep her head out of the Mansus! But not our Nyn! Couldn't be precious Nyn! Painting them blind! And she gets to be a Remortal!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped her when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop her!

Are histories just multi-verse with a fancier name or is there something that makes histories that makes them different from the usual multi-verse ?

Throughout the cultist simulator and Book of Hours, I thought that the histories that the games talked about was at first just their name for the alternate universes,

but when I searched a bit more and after like noticing how often the analogy of rivers was stressed out when it this question would be brought up, I started taking it as a "multi-verse" but only for the waking world while all histories interact with the same Mansus and that there is always only one Mansus with set Hours, and that all histories will one day lead to completely same events and then behave as one.

but once I played and won the magnate victory: the whitest flower, in which it was described that a history without the second dawn, that now means that histories DO affect Mansus and Hours and because of that, there should be then probably be separate copies of Hours for each history.

In short I am confused by what exactly are Histories aside from being this multiple rivers that will once become one river, and how do they really interact with the rest of the world.

Why is it that some people get damaged vision for looking at an eclipse for 1 second, and yet when I was 7yrs old I stared at the sun for 10 minutes out of spite and have no damage at all?

I didn't blink at all and remember seeing everything purple for the entire day

Spencer Hobson is a hollowed man

Spencer Hobson is a hollowed man

Ordained, a healer, a jounalist and an agent of the Bureau. Than he was hollowed by the Worms, to be riddled with wounds. But can our healer overcome his wounds? Can the wounds become scars? A scarred man, by war, by Worms, Uncaring Hours with obscure agendas.

Spencer Hobson is a hollowed man.

But can he become a hallowed man?

Can he become the healing Hour that dying Europe needs? Can he become the Hour that understands the cost of war and strife?

When the Forge is cold and the Glory is dark and the Wood is dust

It's from a kids book. I swear Russian media is full of occult knowledge. Maybe it's because Calyptra can't read Russian so forbidden knowledge doesn't get erased​​

Travelling at Night Demo Secrets

The steam post for the Travelling at Night demo mentions two semi-secret characters and a secret location. Has anybody found these yet? What are they??

The Matter of Being is 100% Funded!

First, I would like to extend the gratitude of the entire Common Logic team. This project would not be possible without:

  1. The incredibly generous Sixth History license that Weather Factory has created and

  2. The incredibly generous community that has grown up around the Secret Histories.

Almost one year ago I made the dubious decision to drop out of polite society and forsake a consistent salary to make The Matter of Being. I'd gotten around to my thirties, collected a few degrees of questionable utility (linguistics, an MFA disguised as a publishing degree), and racked up a mountain of debt just generally navigating American life. None of it was very satisfying and so, fuck it, I thought. Why not make video games the way I'd always thought about? There were a few abortive attempts, but then came one fateful competition: Blue Ocean Games' Rising Tide. I submitted TMoB's first trailer, and this community showed up in such force that they literally changed the voting rules about it. I think that's when I decided to do this 'for real'.

Since then, you have all shown me an incredible amount of support, and I've been humbled by the talents of Goldstarknight and Shep, who have joined me on this journey to create TMoB's art and music respectively. It's an incredible feeling when you create something and people seem to really *want* it, and although the journey has been very difficult materially, my will to live has been at an all-time high during this whole process.

I share all of this only to really say: Your support means the world to me, I'm so absolutely jazzed that I get to pay my incredible team, and it really feels like this is what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. In exchange, I'm going to work my stupid tail off and deliver the best game I possibly can for everyone who has decided to support us.

With all the personal stuff out of the way, here's what's coming:

  1. I will begin publishing regular development logs on a monthly basis so people can stay abreast of both the game's development, and also to keep track of what is happening with various backer rewards. Many of these rewards are collaborative, and it will be most appropriate to reach out to backers when the development demands new content. That means less frequent communication here on reddit, but hopefully more juicy content when we do post here.

  2. In early September, once Kickstarter starts disbursing, I will re-enable all the glossy Discord features and start reaching out to backers about how they can get their particular rewards fulfilled, particularly if those rewards require shipping or the commissioning of a portrait.

  3. We are continuing to target a Q3 2027 launch, per our Kickstarter details. Obviously there may be slip, but hopefully the demo that you've all had a chance to play shows that *most* of the work remaining is content development. We are planning to make some significant UI and stability improvements yet.

  4. We didn't meet the target for Mac Support, but we're still going to try and swing it. Godot plays nicely on Mac, we just have some filesystem specific hurdles we need to solve.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us on this journey so far! We're so excited that we get to make this game for you all :)

(And one day, when I'm working with my own IP, I hope I can use it to open up opportunities for others just like this.)

The New King lore in the demo?

So the new king died fighting in WW2 I kinda wasn’t expecting that I’m sure there will be some twist but he seems like he was more benevolent than book of hours implied he would be.
