The Critter Chronicles (Steam link) is the prequel to The Book Of Unwritten Tales, an adventure game that, I confess, I?d never actually heard of. However, the game?s developers say that The Critter Chronicles stands on its own, telling the story of how Nate Bonnet and the muppet-esque Critter first meet and become friends, before moving onto the world-saving adventures that they encounter in The Book Of Unwritten Tales.
Nate is a kind of medieval version of Han Solo, and he starts off in The Critter Chronicles by winning an airship called The Mary in a game of cards?just as Han Solo won the Millenium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. The game also nods towards Star Wars in occasional lines of dialogue, emphasizing the point that Nate is a rather mercenary character who eventually becomes less selfish as a result of his adventures with Critter.
Like its predecessor, Critter Chronicles very much follows in the style of classic point-and-click adventures from the ?80s, such as Myst and Monkey Island). You use your mouse to click on various objects on the screen in order to examine them, and then figure out how you can use those objects to solve various puzzles.
