After donning the suit, your character is transported to a surreal landscape of floating rocks and tasked with locating the aforementioned missing uncle. Speaking of the invention, the central gameplay mechanic in A Story About My Uncle revolves around a special suit that your genius uncle Fred created. Your grapple beam is the best way to navigate the floating landmasses.
It is a really fun concept for a pretty tried-and-true storytelling trope (missing relative left an invention that will help you follow/find/rescue them). Throughout the game, which features some very impressive and surreal graphics, your character will fill in details of the story and his daughter will ask skeptical questions about the things that you are seeing and doing. Your character is telling a bedtime story to his daughter about (surprise!) his uncle, who one day disappeared. The plot of A Story About My Uncle is a pretty basic story framed in an interesting way. There are some things that hold the game back from being a great piece of software, but overall, A Story About My Uncle is a fun diversion for the brief time that it lasts.
This first person physics/momentum-based platformer from Gone North Games can be reminiscent of Portal and Mirror’s Edge with its sense of freedom and fast-paced jumping sections. When A Story About My Uncle is running on all cylinders, it achieves a great combination of fun, freedom, and effortlessness that is a joy to be a part of. A Story About My Uncle features some lovely and surreal settings.
