In the humble year of 2009 a little known German company, King Art, went forth on the great task of breathing fresh air into what has otherwise been a stale and stagnated genre of fantasy adventure. The journey was long, dark, and difficult. Undergoing deep research on the tropes that brought stagnation into the genre itself. This time however, it the adventure genre is as refreshing as can possibly be. The Book of Unwritten Tales is a stimulating look at the fantasy adventure genre that gives the player a great story which is thick with parody that will give any fan of anything remotely fantasy sore sides from the quick witted and well placed humour within this fantastic title.
“The Book of Unwritten Tales” itself is a title that, despite it being a really great sounding name, will have you scratching your head. How could you possibly have a book of unwritten tales? This itself is part of the tone that the game offers; a high fantasy story that relishes in many of the tropes made by previous titles anywhere from movies, literature, and even other adventure games. Ranging from Star Wars to Kings Quest. Anything you can possibly imagine and there will be some sort of subtle allusion to it hidden somewhere amongst the 60 unique locations and 40 colourful non-playable characters within the deep, rich world that has been created to explore.
