The Book of Unwritten Tales Demo

Sometimes, having a laugh instead of treating the situation seriously can be a good way to take the edge off and experience new methods to solve problems. Naturally, this approach does not work all the time, but you can have a mighty great time when it does. Hence, there are plenty of interesting games that became popular thanks to their brilliant humour featured during dialogue or in the actual story.

The Book of Unwritten Tales is a humorous point-and-click adventure game in which you get the chance to have some fun and experience the joy of laughter every once so often as well. Hence, everything is made to be funny and the characters have the most ingenious dialogues with each other, while the plot evolves from one crazy twist to the other, without losing pace.

Speaking of which, the story revolves around a classic fantasy world torn apart by war and the usual monster massacres. However, a gremlin archaeologist by the name of Mortimer MacGuffin is in the possession of a powerful and evil artifact, which has the power to take over the entire world with ease. Naturally, someone must stop him from achieving his plans, and that someone happens to be you along with a few other characters.

Just like in every other point-and-click adventure game, your primary purpose is to get to the bottom of the mystery by solving the riddles lying ahead. Some of them can be tackled by simply figuring out how a certain mechanism works, while others require you to gather and combine a variety of items along the way. Regardless of how you approach them, the puzzles are certainly both challenging and a lot of fun.

As previously mentioned, the humour is the most important element in the game at hand, because it inspires it with a certain flavor. However, the rest of the game is just as refined and polished, including the beautiful graphics and the top-notch sound quality. Everything is presented in a very user-friendly manner, although you might get along better with the interface if you are at least somewhat familiar with the point-and-click genre.

All things being equal, The Book of Unwritten Tales truly delivers on its promises and it has the power to make you forget about anything else for a few hours. Hence, every fan of the genre should have this in his library, especially if you have a strong sense of humor as well.
