The phrasing "the operations phase" makes it sound like the action could be triggered in either player's operations phase, but the player triggering the action is still limited to playing characters on their own turn, right?
Your interpretation is correct - there may be reasons you want to reveal the top card of your deck during your opponent's turn, even if you can't necessarily play it.
Can't you combine it with the twisted acropolis? That says play from your hand. This mentions that you can play it as if it were in your hand. So if circumstances allowed you to play it out of turn, you should be able to.
The proper german phrase would be "unaussprechliche Kulte", which means "unspeakable cults".
I don't think this works. This card lets you "play it as if it was in your hand", not "treat it as is it were in you hand". So it would work with play actions, and maybe some play-related effects, but twisted Acropolis says "pay 1 to put a Cultist character from your hand into play", and that not playing the card, it's putting it into play. So I don't see how they could work together.
Correct German aside, the book invented by Robert E. Howard as an addition to the Miskatonic University Library bookshelves was Unaussprechlichen Kulten. In defense of REH, perhaps a preposition has been elided?
