Summary

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.

This is a point-and-click adventure game in which players help a buccaneer and alien character find a way to repair a crashed ship. Players explore polar environments, interact with fantastical characters (e.g., trolls, orcs, and aliens), and collect inventory items to complete mission objectives. A handful of sequences depict brief acts of violence: an airship shot by canon fire; guards knocked out; penguins firing missiles at a character. The game includes an item labeled Dirty Magazines; on-screen text lists titles such as “Gnomes Gone Wild” and “Kobolds Bare It All.” During the course of the game, players can use a bottle of brandy on a penguin (i.e., feeding it to the penguin and shaking); other scenes depict a character smoking a cigar.
