During the eternal struggle of the Alliance of Free Races against the Army
of Shadows, an aged gremlin archaeologist Mortimer MacGuffin discovers the
secret repository that houses a legendary artifact! Knowing that this
ancient treasure could turn the tide of war, the Army of Shadows sends
their best agents to seize it. At the same time four unlikely heroes from
the Alliance are drawn into the crisis: a cute gnome Wilbur, a stunningly
attractive wood elf princess Ivo, and a brash pirate Nate with his furry
companion, the mysterious Critter.
The Book of Unwritten Tales is a classic point-and-click adventure game
with a cornucopia of humorous references. Whether it gently lampoons a
particularly popular MMO or the stereotypical fantasy conventions, it’s
sure to put a knowing smile on the face of even the most hardened
adventurer! If you're looking for a comedic relief from all the super-serious plots of modern games, this beautifully-presented point-and-click adventure will be perfect for you.
Travel through a beautifully presented world that is a twisted image of almost every popular fantasy land you’ve visited in games, movies, and books.
Help a pack of hapless heroes to solve over 150 mind-boggling puzzles and discover more than 300 items that can be used and combined.
Meet a cast of crazy characters - from two-headed ogres and vegetarian dragons to good-natured zombies.
The path of completion is not logical most of the time and definitely not entertaining. It seems they took the graphical adventure game to an illogical conclusion of point and click until you find something that works. Also, having to kinda discover and item, then also pick it up made for some confusion.
It's a pretty game, and if all you really want is a story, then there are plenty of walkthroughs on the web that will give you that with this game, but if you try to solve it on you own, good luck.
I've played many "adventure" games, and honestly, this is not too high on the list.
would have bought it from gog i i hand not already bought it from the developers web site, in fact i had it pre-orderd from them, you should buy this now.
"The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2" and "The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 Almanach Edition" are identical. Don't buy the big bundle that has them both. It's utterly pointless.
I saw the reviews and dived right it. The graphics were beautiful, the characters were well thought out. The bits stolen from other books, such as the one ring, gaming in alternate worlds, and jabs at other pop culture were entirely too much. The boredom, oh the boredom. The pace was very slow and the puzzles were clearly meant for a young player. I wound up uninstalling after the fourth set of puzzles/scenes. If I was a child or had a child I would give this game five stars.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
