BOOK OF HOURS

BOOK OF HOURS launched on August 17, 2023 and received one major paid expansion, HOUSE OF LIGHT, on September 26, 2024. That expansion added a novel's worth of new content including cooking systems, salons, manuscripts, and a new story arc surrounding the Lighthouse Institute. On October 31, 2024, developer Weather Factory published a candid studio update [NEWS-5] in which co-founder Lottie explicitly stated: "we've said what we wanted to say with it through HOUSE OF LIGHT. We'd like to leave it there - for now." This is a clear developer statement that HOUSE OF LIGHT represents the conclusion of planned content for the game. The "for now" caveat is casual hedging rather than a concrete commitment — no follow-up content has been announced for BOOK OF HOURS, and subsequent communications confirm the studio's attention has moved on. On December 12, 2024, Weather Factory announced their next game, Travelling At Night [NEWS-1], described as a new isometric narrative CRPG set in the Secret Histories universe. The studio confirmed it is in very early production. This further confirms that active development focus has shifted away from BOOK OF HOURS. Post-HOUSE OF LIGHT updates to the game have been maintenance and localisation work: a full Japanese translation launched November 13, 2025 [NEWS-4], a security patch in October 2025 [NEWS-7], and a modding support update in March 2026 [NEWS-3]. These are ongoing acts of care from a responsible microstudio, not indicators of new content being developed. All DLC listed on the store — the HOUSE OF LIGHT expansion and the Original Soundtrack — are released. No unreleased DLC exists. The developer has explicitly communicated that the game's content arc is complete with HOUSE OF LIGHT, and the studio is now building its next title.
