4 out of 5 rating for Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of MYST & BEyond

Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of MYST and Beyond is a Fate Core-powered RPG that focuses on solving mysteries, successfully completing puzzles that give you deeper insight into the setting’s mythology, and forming powerful relationships to answer truly epic questions, like “how would you handle the ability to teleport to a new world?” and “with limitless resources from limitless worlds, what moral choices does humanity face?”

I highly recommend this game, whether or not you’re a fan of MYST or Fate. It’s not going to work for a combat-centric game or group, and will over little in the way of new Fate rules if you already own several Fate games, but if you’re at all interested in mystery games or how to incorporate puzzles into roleplaying games without needing a “just give them the answer!” hand-wave, this game’s got a lot of useful discussion, rules, and options.

If you’re simply interested in a game of world- or reality-hopping, Unwritten has that in spades, too, with several lists of Ages and a handful of more detailed examples (and full rules on creating plenty more).
