Quick Look: The Book Of Unwritten Tales

Always nice to see a Welsh dialect in a video game.

As a Scottish person, I wonder if I should be bothered that Dwarves are always Scottish.

i liked vinny's reference to jedi knight 2: jedi outcast with wookie feet. this quick look made me buy it.

This seems kinda interesting, the visuals and animation are pleasant.

Too bad I can't stand an adventure game for more than 20 minutes anymore. For some reason.

legitimately charmed by the world...will buy

MgGuffin sounds like Doc from back to the future games.

I can't tolerate getting stuck in games. I've got too much to do.

It's crazy that with all the Steam deals, $18 just seems like a ridiculous amount of money, even though it's more than a fair price for this game. Oh well, bought it anyway.

Most anticipated game of the summer!

Wilbur Weathervane has a great Welsh accent. Interested to play this.

P.S. Lots of Welsh accents.

I kept wanting to see Vinny try the chair to catch the flying fish...

Reminds me a lot of The Longest Journey. Only good things can come of this.

PUT THE RING IN THE FIREPLACE! haven't you watched lord of the rings? :D

@calumlittle: Oh my, aren't you a negative little troll.

Seems like that lever box had about 4-6 levers and they disappeared as you clicked them, leaving the last 2. Now I have to buy this game to see what they do.

So am I missing something or were there 4 wrenches in front of the levers in the Gnome Hole at first, then Vinnie used two of them, leaving two wrenches (meaning two levers that could still be used) and he just kinda kept ignoring them...

This seems alright!

What's the point of an adventure game QL if you just skip all the dialogue? I hope you skip all the shooting parts when you QL Call of Duty 9.

Adventure time with Vinny is always the best time.

At first I was like, har har, Call of Duty 9! I get the joke, because it's such an annualized franchise, right?

...and then I did the math.

I gotta know now. GOTTA KNOW!

Someone who's played the game: what the hell were they suppose to do?

This game is really charming. I might have to check it out.

… spill my cereal into my lap

Is that what they call it?

To "peg it" doesn't mean to run away, not sure what that guy was on about. It means to die.

The two levers Vinny missed in the gnomehole would have lead them to the items they needed.

lets "uncrate the robot" so i can "peg it"

;)

Marking out for Welsh accents!

Bad slime!

That puzzle with the icicle is really similar to the one in Yesterday.

My goodness that's a charming game. Slow, but delightful! Aside from the facial animation, it looks amazing, too. Very unusual to see such an animated adventure game all full of unique motions and fun stuff. I'm impressed!

"I'm gonna go home and slit me wrists!"

XD

The next breakthrough in adventure games is to Auto-look/take all items in a room.

There is a sesame street style muppet on the cover of this game! o__o

Awesome QL Vinny and Jeff. Not knowing the solution is killing me though. I may have to pick this game up to satisfy my curiosity.

Adventure games! Always terrible.

This game is actually pretty funny. That's nice to see, an obscure adventure game that's actually rather charming and funny and not a giant piece of shit like that one game with the Literal Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

very impressed by the quick look, I decided to pick it up!

Hey, this looks pretty good!

@Milkman: There were two additional levers in the first room of the Gnome Hole that they did not pull. They tried to activate the first two which were both locked. The other two open the door to the Kitchen and to your own bedroom. From there you can get what you need to kill the slime, get the map and finish building your parachute.

Also, I demand part 2!!

Game looks really good as i am a fan of adventure. Was surprised to find this came out in 2010. Seems like the recent Steam release is what prompted this QL

This game has been on my wishlist at Gamersgate for a few years now. It had been out so long I was puzzled to see a quick look of it on GB! Never thought it would get a Steam release, that's awesome.

God dammit, that little gnome's accent is so charming!

I feel like we don't get that many jeff and vinny quick looks. this should be fun

YES!!! need more Vinny & Jeff!

Need another ER with Vinny and Jeff!!!

@JohnLivingston: I figured that was it. Hehe, I love Jeff and Vinny quicklooks, but I just facepalmed for the last 10 minutes as Vinny kept mousing over the two levers with the big different icons and just saying "Nope! Not those!". Big goober, the icons vanish when there isn't anything else you can do! >_<

this looks really fun!

I remember when my mom caught me peggin' it.

"Slit me wrists" had me laughing for a while. Nice and relaxing QL, this one. Wouldn't have minded watching them play this for another hour or two.
