Description
A Story About My Uncle is a first person platforming adventure game about a boy who searches for his lost uncle, and ends up in a world he couldn’t imagine existed. Take help of your uncle’s mysterious inventions that let you jump incredibly high and far through beautiful scenery, uncover clues to your uncle’s whereabouts, and meet fantastical creatures that will help you on your journey.

The movement in A Story About My Uncle is a crucial part of its core gameplay – focusing on swinging through the world with a grappling hook that gives the player a wonderful sense of speed and freedom. Soar through a game world with a unique art style and a mysterious story that unravels before you.
  • Grappling hook: An empowering mechanic that gives you a sensation of speed, flow and vertigo like you’ve never experienced before.
  • Explore the world: Visit a wonderful and exciting world - from paradisal caves, to lost civilizations and harsh, mystical landscapes.
  • Emphasis on story: While searching for your uncle you will meet creatures with stories and fates of their own. Take your time to explore the world to dig deeper into the narrative.
  • Non-violent: A Story About My Uncle is a First Person game, but it is driven by non-violent gameplay and a heavy emphasis on story and atmosphere.

A great platformer, but a poor story.

A game is not a super extra, but I enjoyed playing it. As for the story, it is quite weak (its potential has not been developed), while if we look at the game through the prism of the platform game, I think that the game can be rated 10/10. It was neither easy nor too difficult. The game is a bit short. A graphics of the environment 7.5/10. (Nice but it lacked details) WARNING SPOILERS: A graphics of the characters and buildings 2/10. (here the same idea for characters is cool, but facial expressions are terrible, besides Maddie was the prettiest character, from all frogs, and I have the impression that other frogs-humans were made worse in terms of graphics) I think the game would have more potential if there was more budget for its implementation. The idea of a city of frogs under the surface seems interesting. After the game, I feel insufficient information, I would like to know more details from this story. I would love to read a comic book, or a book embedded in such a world. I like the idea with the language of the frogs and during the game I decrypted all the boards. PS: The launcher that throws the character into the underground world is a bit illogical.

Great little gem

Nice game. Very beautiful, with a great concept, but a little rough on the mechanics. It doesn't take away from the experience, though. I highly recommend it.

Almost redeemed the jumping game genre

The game is beautiful, and the feeling of soaring/falling through the air is fantastic. I wasn't really sure where I was trying to get to, but getting there was generally fun. The controls are intuitive. The dialogue is pretty weak, but it's made to mimic a dad making up a story on the fly, so that helps. Ultimately, the fact that I had to practice certain jumps 50 times before making them, due in large part to luck, meant that I dropped the game near the end. That just seems more like work, and less like a game. I work hard in real life. That's not why I play games.

Great Game! But.

The game provides you with such an incredibly immersive experience. Atmospheric and relaxing sounds, and fantastic surreal worlds. BUT it`s just too short :( I mean 3-4 hours of playing and that's it.

Unique concept executed poorly

The idea is there, and it's really nice. The problems arise with how the level difficulty and design changes way too rigidly with the new abilities you get as another review had stated here, and the story and dialogue segments just slow everything down with no ability to skip them and keep playing. There should have been a way to scale up the edge of a platform that you just barely land on to save some frustration. I think a level designer would be nice too.
