The Book of Unwritten Tales 2

Adventure game of the year 2015

The second tome of the Book of Unwritten Tales has been revealed. And it is marvellous. It kept me busy for more than 26 hours which makes it nearly as long as The Longest Journey. Speaking of which, BoUT2, along with its predecessors, is simple the best adventure game since The Longest Journey (i. e. since 15 years) and almost reaches the quality of LucasArts' classics. The Graphics are nice with backgrounds using projections mapping (a technique that was once proposed by a fan for the Monkey Island 2 remake in a YouTube video), the soundtrack is played by the City of Prague Symphonic Orchestra, and the voice actors are doing a great job. There are actually three editions of the game: the Standard Version, th Almanac Edition, and the Kickstarter Backer Edition. The latter one is not available for sale, since it is limited to people who pledged 180 $ at Kickstarter. The Almanac Edition contains the game plus some additional features: a soundtrack CD, a making-of DVD, a 100-pages book with concept art, a double-sided A3 poster, an extended manual and an ingame-feature to change the Critter's fur colour. If you like to have the additional features, I strongly recommend you to buy the boxed version of the Almanac Edition. All boxed versions are DRM-free.
