The Book of Unwritten Tales
The Book of Unwritten Tales is a humorous homage to the great fantasy books, movies, and games of the genre, filled with plenty of weird characters and dark humour. The game features four playable heroes (the little gnome Wilbur; the elf princess Ivo; a human adventurer named Nate; and The Critter, a shaggy creature that Nate adopted on one of his journeys and hasn't stopped trotting behind him ever since) whose skills have to be used wisely, particularly those that can only be solved by working as a team.

The worst thing I can say is that it could've been even better
"The Book of Unwritten Tales" is an unashamedly old-school point and click game. While visually it's anything but retro, other aspects of the game are deliberately simple. Plot-wise, the bad guys are bad, the good guys are good and the world is in peril....
