Product Description

Only the elderly remember a world without fear.

In a world torn by war, the aged gremlin archaeologist Mortimer McGuffin discovers a reference to a legendary artefact of unimaginable power. Whoever holds this treasure in their hands, will determine the fate of the world.

  • A classic Point & Click adventure set in a fair and beautiful RPG fantasy world
  • Humorous homage to the great books, movies and games of the genre (WOW, Lord of the Rings, Discworld, etc.)
  • Innovative multi-character gameplay: Three playable heroes whose skills have to be used wisely - in turn and/or simultaneously
  • More than 150 cleverly designed puzzles with a perfect mix of combination, dialogue, and logical brainteasers and many different ways to solve
  • Over 250 items to combine and to use

A nicely paced game 30 Dec 2011
Fun:   
This is a nicely paced point and click adventure game. It isn't a hard game to solve the puzzles and has some humerous touches. It had quite a lot of jokey references to well know films and video games. There are four characters you play as during the course of the game. Most of the time you are playing as just one of the four, but there are times where more than one character is in play and you need to work out which character is able to do what ever is required.

On the down side is that at times, the game can seem to have too much chat.

I have played the whole game and during chapter 4 the game suddenly crashed. The writers of the game have released a patch on their website which you may need to download if this happens whilst you are playing.

I loved this game 27 Nov 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
The Book of Unwritten Tales is a first class point and click adventure with first class graphics and is a joy to play. Just for a change the story line actually made sense unlike may other games I have played. The puzzles are all intriguing but don't need the brain of an Einstein to be solved. Saying that, my old fingers had some difficulty with that annoying Rain Dance! All in all I can honestly say it is the best game I have played in a long tine. Recommeded. Buy it!

Masterpiece 7 Dec 2011
By Mo
Fun:   
So much to say about this game, but for me the most important is the fact that you will become immersed in it. The characters are alive, the scenery is alive, everything about this game takes you and places you directly in the story.

The attention to detail in this game is phenomenal, as others have said, the voice acting, its the best I have ever heard, and I have played a great deal of point and clicks, as well as games with a much larger development budget.

This game was made to the highest standards I have seen in a long time for this genre. Outstanding

One of the best point and click games I've played in ages.
Not since Monkey Island 2 and Simon the Sorcerer have I enjoyed a game so much. The writers have got just the right blend of game play and humour. Read more
