Advent Calendar 2023

Cultist Simulator · published 1 Dec 2023, 12:05 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It's the first of December, and we're trying something NEW this year! BOOK OF HOURS seems such an obvious fit, so starting from today we're running...

...a 25-day advent calendar of Hush House! 🎄🎁

(There are some real-world Weather Factory gifts, and at least one Cultist Simulator-related treat - though the in-game items are all in BOOK OF HOURS.)

Each day we'll open a door containing treats in-game or the 'real' world (you'll see it on all of our socials [ Twitter / Facebook / Instagram ], and we'll update our advent megablog daily with What's Behind Today's Door).

Most are tasty amuses-bouches. Some are pretty major reveals. A few real world treats will only last for 24hrs, but you'll never miss anything in-game. Playing BOOK OF HOURS any time in December will give you everything the calendar's revealed to date whenever in-game winter rolls around. So there's no stress if you're 'out' having 'fun' with 'friends'. Except, you know. Have a think about your life choices there.

To start with today's door as an example, it reveals:

Door 1: Seasonal art in BOOK OF HOURS

The next time you're playing BOOK OF HOURS and winter comes around, you'll notice some festive cheer sprinkled throughout Brancrug Village and Hush House. For anyone who wants to be left alone like the Weary Detective and his Illustrated London News, there's an option to turn off seasonal art in the Settings menu. For everyone else, take careful note of Reverend Timothy's Christmas tree next to the Rectory...

More like this every day from now until Christmas Day. Check the advent megablog if you're not sure what today's gift is - we'll announce them every day at noon.

That's it! Warmth, good cheer and a glass of Chateau Raveline to you and yours. Merry Christmas, friend.
