The Book Of Unwritten Tales
the heroes

"I have the feeling a being of great knowledge controls all of my actions."*
Wilbur Wetterquarz

The Book of Unwritten Tales is a German Point-and-Click Game by KING Art. It was finally localized for English audiences in 2011, after years of waiting. For the most part it is your average Adventure Game if it was not constantly referencing this very fact. Most of the games humour originates from this and the weird logic applied in many games of the genre.

The story starts of in times of a big war with Gremlin archaeologist Mortimer MacGuffin (yes, the game starts there already) being attacked by the servants of the evil witch most often referred to as 'Mother'. She is after a mysterious artifact granting it's owner the ability to make all his wishes come true. In order to stop her over the course of the game the player controls various characters to solve different puzzles.

The game leads through a big fantasy city filled with millions of magical creatures [/sarcasm], a sunken temple, the wild lands occupied by horrible creatures and the heart of the evil kingdom itself.

Playable Characters:

  • Wilbur Wetterquarz (Wilbur Weathervane) - Gnome and kitchen servant in a dwarf bastion far to the north
  • Ivodora Eleonora Clarissa, Princess of Silberwaldreich, or short Ivo (Ivodora Eleonora Clarissa, Princess of the Silver Forest Realm, Ivo) - a female forest elf
  • Nathaniel 'Nate' Bonnet - adventurer (sky pirate, trickster, thief...)
  • Vieh (Critter) - some... creature, Nate's sidekick

A spin-off/prequel titled The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles has been released in Germany in October 2011. As the title suggests, the main characters in this game are Critter and Captain Nate. The international release is scheduled for spring 2012.
