While PC adventure games don’t usually get nearly as much fanfare in the North American markets, in many European markets the genre is still absolutely thriving. There is no country where this is more true than Germany. A strong point and click audience has made for many newly minted modern adventure classics, but not all of them make it to English audiences. One of the most critically acclaimed of these German adventure titles is The Book of Unwritten Tales, a lovingly crafted poke at the rather silly fantasy genre. While an English version of The Book of Unwritten Tales was made available in the UK last year, today marks the release of the game on Steam, which makes it easily accessible to a worldwide audience. Now the question is whether or not this is an adventure worth checking out. If you’re a point and click fan, the answer is almost certainly a yes.
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
Recently successful Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Kickstarter demands you try the original, and you can grab it on the Humble Weekly Bundle.
