The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a comedy [2] point-and-click adventure video game [3] [4] created by the German developer King Art Games. [5] The game, a sequel to The Book of Unwritten Tales, was published by Nordic Games on 20 February 2015 [5] for Linux, Microsoft Windows and OS X. [5] [6] Console ports for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One were released in September 2015. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions were released exclusively as digital downloads. The Wii U version was released on 7 June 2016 in Europe and North America. A Nintendo Switch version was announced, [7] and released on 5 February 2019.

Plot

The game's four protagonists, Wilbur a novice gnome mage, Nate a narcissistic human, Ivo a pregnant elf princess and a furry alien creature known as "Critter", partake in an adventure in the fantasy land of Aventasia. [2] A magic force is turning beasts into puppies and castles into dollhouses. [5] The four heroes reunite to combat this unusual transformation of Aventasia. [2]

Production

The English translation and voice recording were provided by OMUK. [3] The game was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter. [6] Before its official release, the game was launched on Steam Early Access. [1] [5] The game's launch trailer poked fun at video game monetisation strategies, [8] such as free-to-play and microtransactions. [6]

The game made its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in both physical and digital form, for a budget price of $20 on 18 September 2015. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions were also released, but these remained exclusively digital downloads; the PlayStation 3 version retained the reduced price of the eighth-generation consoles, while the Xbox 360 launched at a cost of $30.

Reception

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 received positive reviews from critics. The game has a Metacritic score of 80/100. [10] Game Revolution commented: "Is The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 worth getting? Definitely! Although it doesn't add much innovation to the series, this game offers a more complex and fine-tuned adventure than its predecessor." [2] Hardcore Gamer: "If you love point and click adventures, The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is everything you could possibly want and more. With stunning (and clever) graphics, a fully orchestrated soundtrack and top-notch voice acting, its production values are second to none, and it has writing chops to match." [3] PC World called the puzzle design excellent but the graphics and audio occasionally spotty. [4] It stated: "The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a reminder that while Telltale may have usurped the adventure genre, great traditional point-and-clicks can still be made." [4]
