Blood instead of egg in cooking. It binds in the same way and is a fine substitution. Look it up.

Howdy yall,

I've been getting back into cult sim and now recently got Book of Hours (I am the cartographer and have no idea beyond that what im doing) but as I was doing a run in Cult sim I was asking myself questions like "What are these secrect histories? Are all hours humans that ascended? Wait the "Glory" and Mansus are different? What are worms? What are names to hours? What are the old hours?"

I know the lore is available on the wiki and I have been reading from there to understand more, and have come up with an idea to add both a new trinket to my collection AND better have the lore understood.

I plan to take a nice dark leatherback notebook and draw a "Clock" and the associated hours and write through the book the principles and relationships of the hours, the secret histories, the wars, places of the manus, and the dead hours. I plan to write it as one who is IN the world and they discover these events and walk through the manus and their dreams as I think it is pretty cool and would be a nice project for me to keep in my library shelf.

That is all I just wanted to share the start of my project and also ask when I'm playing BOH is the early game me trying to unlock all the rooms in the Hush House?

Thanks for reading my ramblings!

been rly enjoying book of hours (i bought dlc part way through) after getting way into cultist sim played for like 26 hours and i got the tree that lets me end the game and i made a final ink and can record a history but theres still so much of hush house i havent unlocked and books not read and skills not got and i cant figure out if i want to take an ending and start over and do things better this time cultist sim style (plus having my notes on what does what im missing some early stuf in my notes bc i wanst taking notes properly to start with oops) or if i keep going w this and try learn and unlock as much as possible before taking ending?? adding dlc mid save seems to also made things a bit odd so mb that factors into it i just really dont know what to do here

I dont want like spoilers i love figuring stuff out but also in this case its like enough is on the table slash at stake w restarting i want to know what taking an ending actually does and if this is like NG+ or if the NG+ is that i have my notes and know how stuf works and if i should be start over for the DLC stuff to be from the start

Part of being a successful cultist is an irrational dedication to your desire. If you was able to take this path (not accounting for hardship and suppression bureau here, specific obstacles are not the important part) would you? If yes, why?

I may be too deep into Moth here but I get the desire to ascend more than I ever thought is reasonable. I mean yes I would throw away my humanity and life and comfort to be Something Else. It would be painful and hard and unreasonable but I would do it anyway even for no true benefit, being a Moth Long sounds bad until it doesn't. Grail is nice too but it's a reasonable option, Grail Long are cool and need no justification

Just something I cooked up in the back of my brain for a bit and let it cool

From what i know about the lore, everything has an aspect in some way, even if you don't know about it. The humble flashlight is lantern, a pocket knife is edge, even a fidget toy could have a bit of moth in it.

So, what if we extend this to songs? What aspects could a song have?

Personally i think 'Wolf hunt' by Vladimir Visotsky is edge aspect, aligned with the lionsmith.

Thank you to everyone who answered my first question. It really helped.

I am now trying to unlock the later rooms (after Our Lady Beneath and the Gaol Hall). Some of them are really challenging and I find I am scrambling to level up my assistants before the day ends (and praying a useful assistant comes along).

I would like to know what persistent memories/tools/drinks/etc. you like to craft in advance and always have on hand. I’ve found the Mazarine Fife and Wind-in-Waiting to be fantastic, but I don’t have any rooms that require sky right now. I’m struggling in particular with winter, as I don’t have Edicts Martial and can’t figure out how else to get Wormwood Dream (I can get 15 aspect on Edicts Inviolable but still don’t get the option).

But yeah, just let me know what items you like to keep around please.
