A notable feature of The Book of Unwritten Tales is that the player takes control of four different characters. In some scenes it is possible to switch between two or three active characters. Making explicit use of this mechanic some puzzles require the playable characters to exchange items or otherwise cooperate.

Characters

  • Wilbur Weathervane

  • The Book of Unwritten Tales The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Review A Modern Classic PS4
    Unlike other gnomes, Wilbur shows no particular enthusiasm for technology and machinery. His heart belongs to the world of magic and adventures. Wilbur works as "chief cook and bottle washer" at a pub of a dwarf bastion in the Whitcomb Mountains. When he is given a strange ring by the gremlin archaeologist McGuffin, he receives the order to bring it to the arch mage of the humans.
  • Nathaniel Bonnet

  • The Book of Unwritten Tales Cloudimperiums Review of The Book of Unwritten Tales GameSpot
    Nate is a human adventurer. His attitude is very cocky and narcissistic. He doesn't want to help Ivo and Wilbur at first, but they save him from a bounty hunter and so he joins their party. He is accompanied by a furry pink creature, which he only refers to as "Critter".
  • Ivo played by Jess Robinson
  • Ivodora Eleonora Clarissa, Princess of the Silver Forest Realm, an elf, normally does not meddle in affairs of "the mortals". She witnesses the abduction of an old gremlin professor by the Shadows and in the attempt to save him she's drawn into their affairs.
  • Critter
  • Critter is a muppet-like alien creature which is marooned on Aventásia. He speaks gibberish and seems to be very flexible as he can sneak through gaps under doors. As he has been left behind by his own kind, he accompanies Nate on his adventures.
