Games Like BOOK OF HOURS (2026)

Shared: Atmospheric

A brutally honest survival sim where the Canadian wilderness is the only villain. No zombies, no jump scares, just cold math and bad decisions.

Shared: Day-Night Cycle

Crash a plane, lose your son, then spend 30+ hours building spike traps and slowly losing your mind to cannibals. Solo or with up to 8 friends online, this one earns its Metacritic 83.

Shared: tier:sub-5

Russian roulette with a 12-gauge and enough item-based mind games to make pure luck feel like a skill issue. Dirt cheap, brutally short, weirdly hard to put down.

Shared: Day-Night Cycle

A five-person studio built a Tarkov parody that somehow outgrew the joke. If you've ever wanted extraction-shooter tension without a lobby full of strangers hunting you, this is the most accessible version of that feeling you'll find.

Shared: No Combat

Four hours with a dying man's memories, and you will not walk away unchanged. The finest argument that games can do what novels do, built on an RPG Maker engine nobody will care about once the story lands.
