to you too, Sali.

Hi I just started this game and have gotten to preparing the potion have been trying to do it for awhile but am unable to complete it. Could you send me a save. Mike

Mike,

The saved game is sent. Have fun.

Mag, Thanks got the save and able to go forward now. Mike

Have fun.

Oh dear, that darn raindance is awful! I do actually have a save but it isn't showing up when I click on the "load" button. Maybe I've installed it to the wrong folder, it's in MyDocs. under Bood of Unwritten Tales in the save folder there. Trouble is that when I click on load it just goes back to the original save before the raindance which was an Autosave.

Any ideas would be great so thanks in advance.

Hi Jo,

Did you renumber the save before placing it into the save folder?

Here's a step-by-step:

From the e-mail attachment, download the save to your desktop without opening it.

Then, renumber this file to be the last in your save folder. i.e. if your current last save is savegame14.ksg, then renumber this one to be savegame15.ksg.

Then move the renumbered file into your save folder along with all your other saves.

Exit the folder, start up the game as usual and load the new save. You’ll likely need to scroll all the way back to the beginning of your saves to find the renumbered one, as they might be in date order, and this is an older dated save.

Thanks Rushes, Unfortunately that didn't work - I know it should have though!! I'd tried that previously but what actually happens when I go into the "load" screen is that only 8 Saves appear along with the Autosave which I took out of the folder in My Docs and there are really 27 saves including the downloaded one. Also a save that I'd deleted is showing up, so what's there is just the Autosave, the save I deleted before the Dance and the rest say New Game! I just don't get it, very seldom use save games at all, not something I like to do. I was wondering if the save is somehow supposed to be in the Book of Unwritten Tales in the Programs files but I can't see anything there with a save game folder at all and the things that are in there aren't ksg files anyway (and all in German or something).

Looks like I'll just have to keep on trying to get the Dance right myself somehow or other.

JoAJ,

You say there are only 8 saves in the Load screen. Have you looked at the bottom left of the Load screen where there are two marks that look like floppy V's or stylized birds? If you click on those, they scroll up and down through the saved games. If you didn't know that.

Btw, your saved games should be in My Documents.

Gil.

Thanks, Gil.

Good luck, JoAJ.

Thanks a lot for that Traveler, yes it was there when I scrolled down although it didn't seem to be in the right place - don't know how on earth I missed those little arrows at the bottom either - duh, most have been having a "senior moment"!

Then I had one, too! It definitely took me a while to realize those marks at the bottom left were there to be used; I thought they were decoration.

Gil.

Hi everyone!

Could someone please send me a saved game after the rain dance? I absolutely love this game but I just can't do this. It's so frustrating!!

Thanks

Sure. Check your email in a minute, BigCat.

Gil.

Thank you so much Gil! What a relief...

Thanks, Gil.

BigCat. Enjoy the game.

Thanks MaG. For everything (other games, other walkthroughs . You're amazing.

She's also very close kin to Speedy Gonzales. I don't know how she does them so well or so Fast!

Gil.

BigCat, Glad to be of help. Thanks.

Gil - Thanks.

Hi, folks.

A friend of mine in Guild Wars told me about The Book of Unwritten Tales. I looked at the trailer and promptly bought it. The first two chapters were great, but now I'm stuck in the town with poor Wilbur getting blown up by his potion-making attempts.

I'm ready to quit. My friend says it's worth going on. My fingers say "how can we do this any differently to keep from exploding?" I got as far as the penultimate step... once.

So, my mind asks for a savegame, please.
Thank you.

Edit: Thank you very much, MaG.

Ktahdn.

The saved game is sent.

Thank you, MaG. For the welcome, and for the savegame that meant I didn't have to tear out any more hair.

Don't touch that hair - you might regret it later in life. Glad to be of help.

Just finished the game. I'm already sad... The best I have ever played. Simply beautiful and so smart.

I agree, BigCat. It's a fun memorable game.
