Puts the “fun” into “funtasy adventure game”!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_book_of_unwritten_tales]The Book of Unwritten Tales, a wonderful and incredibly well-written point-and-click adventure game that spoofs almost every existing fantasy cliche, is now available on GOG.com 10% off for limited time. That’s only $17.99 until Tuesday, August 7 at 09:00 AM GMT.

The creators of The Book of Unwritten Tales are that masters of one very difficult but highly-valued genre of humor: parody. The game light-heartedly spoofs countless fantasy universes, drawing from books, movies, and games (although it focuses most of its punches on a certain popular MMORPG;)). Some of the characters are well aware of their predicament of being a part of a computer game, so expect the fourth wall to be shattered into small pieces before you reach the ending credits.

In The Book of Unwritten Tales you control the cast of unlikely (but very much likeable!) heroes using a classic point-and-click interface. They visit countless puzzle-packed locations--each beautifully presented in lush 3D graphics--that combine into a large and detailed gameworld. The adventure consists of five lengthy chapters interpersed with many top-notch cinematics, so the game guarantees hours of story-driven fun that will leave you craving for more.

The Book of Unwritten Tales--a splendid adventure with great voice-acting and heaps of witty punchlines will have you laughing out loud like a gleeful goblin for only $17.99 for the next 7 days.

SimonG: From what I've gathered, the game received exceptional praise for its voice work. In German. GOG really needs to secure those language licenses.
The British voice actors did a magnificent job as well! And here's an English-languaged review.

Adzeth: 20% off and it's $17.99? So the original price is $22.49..
That just sounds like heresy. 22.5 is exactly the kind of number you use to pick on the devout :p
God damn it Jim! We're game-mongers, not mathematicians!

The price is correct, the percentage wasn't. Thanks for pointing that out.

Rincewind81: *snip*
Can someone clarify, that the german voices are included?
No, they are not, I'm afraid. As of now we can offer you the English version only. The mention of the German version was a mistake, that we have corrected--not as promptly as we have hoped, I suppose.

Hey, look! A developer graced our humble forums. Quick, my goglings! Unleash the question-storm! ;-)

(Hopefully he'll return and answer at least some of them.)

SimonG: I really don't want to nitpick, but isn't Nordic the publisher? And not even the original publisher, I might add.
My bad. Still - there's a good chance he'll offer some interesting facts :-)
