Description
A war is brewing in Aventásia.

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.

Love it, funny dialogue, great story

I love the way the story is told, and the changes in characters. Sometimes the puzzling looks a bit the same through the game (combining and grabbing stuff), but i just love the characters in the story. A lot of winks to real life, like wizards playing a game 'tax inspector', about a desk clerk behind a computer.

A Lovely fantasy adventure...

...with beautiful locations, charming characters and full of witty ideas - at least in my opinion ;-) The puzzles seemed sensible to me. When I started playing my whole family got drawn into the game and they eventually played it themselves. I can only endorse the previous five-star-reviews.

Excellent adventure game

Witty, funny game with a well-written story, great voice acting and music and a good interface. Highly recommended if you're an adventure game fan.
