The Book of Unwritten Tales packshot

The Book of Unwritten Tales is an acclaimed point-and-click adventure game created by German developer KING Art Games. Set in a humorous fantasy land, the game features four playable characters: the little gnome Wilbur, the elf princess Ivo, a human adventurer named Nate and his furry friend Critter. Together, these unlikely heroes must defeat the Army of the Shadows and protect a powerful artefact that could determine the fate of the entire world.

By Marty Mulrooney impulseheader_ceville

My first review for adventureclassicgaming.com is finally up!

Ceville is a comedy driven point and click adventure game from Kalypso, that I thought was a surprisingly pleasant game to pass some time. It reminded me a lot of the Shrek films, using well known fairy tales as the basis for a world of oddities and humour.
