The game challenges the player with a series of puzzles and brain teasers presented as a traditional point and click adventure game. The puzzles are embedded in an adventure story that will take most players an average of twenty hours to complete. There are 60 locations to explore with a total of 40 non-player characters and about 250 interactible items. A notable feature of The Book of Unwritten Tales is that the player takes control of four different characters. In some scenes it is possible to switch between two or three active characters. Making explicit use of this mechanic some puzzles require the playable characters to exchange items or otherwise cooperate.
In a world torn by war, the aged gremlin archaeologist Mortimer MacGuffin harbours the dark secret of a powerful artefact. Whoever calls this artefact his own, will determine the fate of the world. While the Army of the Shadows sends out its best and most devious agents to discover the secret, the Alliance's four heroes find themselves involuntarily drawn into the crisis...

What the hell was I doing in 2012? The Book of Unwritten Tales is an old-school fashioned point-and-click (P&C) adventure which essentially catches you off guard right from the beginning. As the story unfolds from a simple quest in finding and retrieving a secret powerful artefact before the forces of evil in the vein of The Lord of The Rings, its strong and well-written narrative creates this deep and intriguing light-hearted story that always makes you wonder what is going to happen just around the corner. Not only that, but as the story progresses in its artistically breathtaking environments, it genuinely gets better and better throughout its impressively 17+ hours long story. While admittedly it is not the most original story on the surface and some of the animations can break the immersion at times, its rock-solid narration easily makes up for them. To my surprise, the game featu
The Book of Unwritten Tales is a 3D point-and-click adventure game set in a fantasy world. The game consists of 5 fairly lengthy chapters, although the last chapter was very short compared to the others. The Steam page says the game has about 20 hours of gameplay, but it only took me about 11 hours. The graphics are pre-rendered in 16:10 aspect ratio, which means that on other aspect ratios there will be black bars on the sides. I have a 16:9 monitor so there were a bit over 1 cm wide black bars on each side of the screen. Aside from that minor issue the graphics are good and the environment looks very detailed. The story is good, although it's a pretty standard fantasy story. You must find a powerful artifact and not let the evil forces get it. The somewhat silly world and the charming characters make the story a lot better. For example there are 2 NPCs playing a fantasy RPG, in whi
This was a great adventure game. Sadly, the developers abandoned it. There are many graphics and audio incompatibilities across all platforms. These problems have grown over time with newer versions of operating systems and graphics/audio/input drivers. Many users on the forums encountered show stopping bugs/crashes several chapters into the game. I spoke to representatives from KING Art, who said the build system for this game was destroyed, and that there are many third party libraries which the game depends on. The game needs significant development to reintegrate with the latest versions of these dependencies in order to recreate a working build system. They said this is simply not going to happen, and that the bugs will not be fixed. As there is no way to tell if the game will be completable for you, I can't recommend you buy it.
Point-and Click Adventure re-vitalised and re-thought The Book of Unwritten Tales was the first game by the German development studio King Art to be released internationally, in 2012. It put this adventure games-developer firmly on the map, and has been praised for adding a unique feel to the classic point-and-click adventure genre. For me it has been a long time since I last played a game like this. Actually, it was only since the adventure games by Telltale Games that I was redrawn into the genre, having played several of the classics many, many years ago (think 90's stuff). While the Telltale concept of adventure games focuses on a new kind of storytelling in combination with some action scenes, King Art completely stays within the boundaries of the classic adventure genre. Literally the only thing that needs to be done to complete this game, is pointing and clicking - the keyboard
Sharp writing, logical puzzles, great characters, and a meaty 15 hour adventure make The Book of Unwritten Tales a must play for any point and click adventure fan. At times, it almost feels like the Discworld books meets Day of the Tentacle, and that's the highest praise I can offer. I was constantly amused and even laughing out loud during much of the game. Like any game in this genre though, there are some minor rough spots involving items that are difficult to notice/find. Thankfully, this only happened a couple of times during the story, and was far less of an issue than many other games of this type. There was also one puzzle that has you setting waypoints on a map that was extremely obtuse and annoying. Also, be warned that the game does make fun of many fantasy tropes, but it always feels like a sly wink and a nod rather than being cynical or mean-spirited. Despite the minor rou
I never heard of this game and it was just sitting in my library and at the back of my backlog garthing dust. A random friend recommended it to me and between the 3 games that he picked from my library this one seemed least interesting... I am sure glade I was 100% wrong!! This game is an awesome RPG/Puzzle/Advanture game using multiple characters. A band of advanturers got dragged into a world changing event and chains of events were set in motion! A monster, A gnome, an Elf and a human have to work together to save their magical world. Good 3D rendered animation + great background artwork. The graphics are very well done a very smoothly placed and drawn. Artist did an fantastic job!! The music are few but intriging. Not the best but fits the back ground well. Story conversations are very interesting with a lot easter eggs about other games such as WOW. (3 pieces of copper but no a
