The Christmas Market (or, the Advent Calendar 2024)

“Reverend Timothy, having secured the attention of an attractive woman prepared to listen to his sermons, is now elucidating his previous *and* his next intended Christmas sermon. Coquille fastens her smile more charmingly on her face. Her eyes travel the room from end to end. There is no escape.”

 

There is never any escape from Christmas. So you might as well embrace this year’s edition of the BOOK OF HOURS advent calendar!

 

 

What is this so-called advent calendar?

It’s a set of small daily Secret Histories treats, because we love Christmas. You can redeem each item every day either in BOOK OF HOURS or in the real world. The calendar runs from 1st – 25th December.

What’s *in* the advent calendar?

A mix of in-game items and little real-world treats. We’ll announce what’s behind every day’s door at noon on our social channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), and update this post with a megalist of everything released so far.

How do I get it?

Make sure you have the latest version (2024.12.m.3) on Steam and/or GOG. You’ll see Christmas decorations appear throughout Hush House when in-game winter rolls around, and will be able to redeem any in-game gifts from Reverend Timothy’s Christmas tree next to his Rectory in Brancrug Village.

Please note: you can’t get advent calendar gifts during spring, summer or autumn. You have to wait for in-game winter to appear (or start in winter) to receive any in-game items. When playing at x6 speed, the longest you’ll have to wait is a maximum of ~6 minutes.

What if I miss a day?

Any in-game items will remain available on Reverend Timothy’s Christmas tree until midnight on New Year’s Eve. The advent calendar ‘ends’ on Christmas Day, but you have an extra week to collect any missed items after then!

Real-world gifts are either only usable on that day, or will be available in perpetuity. Check the megalist of advent gifts below to see what they are (or were).

What if I *hate* it?

You can turn off any and all seasonal art in the Settings menu. Sob.

  1. please, Weather Factory, leave that awful place now-called Xuitter behind… come to Bluesky <3 (not affiliated, just a fan who misses following you =p )

  2. Looking forward to literally anything more on the third game, I’ve been staring at this person for so long and I think they’re really starting to look back!

  3. This is so sweet and really adds not only to my Brancrug experience, but to Christmas joy for real! Thank you so much.

    1. If you want to claim a gift you can find it on the tree itself(Like an ornament). You just need to zoom in and click on the item. Hope this helps!
