After a brief Early Access period, The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 has been released along with the previously unseen fifth chapter of the game.

Since September, the game had been in Early Access which was quite an unusual move for an adventure game. However, the approach of releasing a chapter once a month to allow for play testing and bug squashing is quite a clever move from a small developer who might not have the money to splash out on long QA periods.
I have to say, I absolutely loved the game - even more so than the prequel. It’s easily one of the best adventure games I have ever played and quite possibly the funniest, which is quite an achievement considering the genre’s association with humour.
All in all this is a must have for any point-and-click fan, from the beautiful artwork to the great pop-culture references and fun side-quests, this game is a real gem. I couldn’t really find any flaws with this game, aside from a few bugs during the Early Access period which should be gone by now and even they were pretty minor.
With the release, both the original BoUT and Critter Chronicles are on sale at 75% off on Steam and are also worth picking up if you don’t have them already. I would say the new game doesn’t require playing either and can be easily enjoyed as a standalone experience, but if you want to get more familiar with the characters (and also enjoy another great adventure game) I would suggest getting the original too, with Critter Chronicles being far more optional.
You can get The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 DRM-free on GOG.com or on Steam, or you can support GOL by buying it on Games Republic.

But check out the nice German retail version, which seems to include the Linux port right there on the Disc: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00LL43MXG/adventuretref-21

I wonder if for the Linux and OSX versions they just provide a Steam key though....
In all honesty, before seeing the trailer, I was skeptical at your fondness for it. After watching it, you're spot on! That trailer is fantastic.
Just not sure if it would run on my old GS9600M :(
One question,is a must to play the previous versions or are not related with the books of unwritten tales 2?
