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.

Expect the unexpected

I thought this game's story was about young man sexually abused by his uncle...but I got something much more better to experience.

Maybe the worst game of its genre

This game is a perfect demonstration of how not to make a platformer. The controls, the collisions, the overall feel, the precision - they all feel off. You will die hundreds, thousands of times (which is okay in general because checkpoints are very frequent) while most of the time thinking "why did he slide off? I was standing on solid ground?", "Why did I fall, I grabbed the rock?", "How could I miss that, the crosshair even lit up?!", "Why didn't he jump, I released the button in time?!" and so on and so on. Compared to other platformers where you see your mistake and know how to correct it, this game has to be learned pretty hard because you have to get used to do it "wrong", to jump too early to press buttons at awkward timings etc. Yes, you can learn it. Yes, checkpoints are frequent and fair. But no, of the whole game feels glitchy, unresponsive and therefore unfair, you have failed at crating a platformer. I have sunk a few hours into this game because people told me I need to "get the hang of it", so I completede the game and even got a few of the "no death" achievements. And now, after some hours and a lot of getting used to the game I can say: Yes - it IS completely broken, unfun and really, really bad. It just feels wrong, even after completing it. Avaoid at all costs. Truly one of the worst games of it's kind. I was hoping for updates to fix the broken controls and systems, but unfortunately this game remains broken and unfun.

A Story NEEDS a STORY

Hi, First review here so bear with me. The graphics are top notch in todays 3D realm as opposed to the 2D days of DOS/C-64 etc, and I mention this because the two sides of technology are related ONLY by a GOOD STORY. A good story is essential to ANY successful venture for the makers or adventure for players, sadly IMHO this lacks a STORY, just commentary with graphics albeit GREAT graphics and to myself the motion gives me motion sickness so I can only play in in spurts. Anyone remember Half-Life 2 and how it gave you the spins. This is no way as bad BUT does give myself the spins, then again so does a ferris wheel at times ;) During the "down times" whilst my equilibrium re-calibrates I keep looking for a manual which i not in the downloads and the walk through's I find online are all videos which kinda supports that there really isn't a STORY just a Gee-Wiz what graphics showcase. So bottom line for ANY venture/adventure is sit down, and write a story that would compel a stand alone novelette/short story into wanting to flesh it out into a video telling of said story. A-Reep A-Deep thats all folks! Thanks

Relaxing fun with great visuals!

This is one of the most stress free, entertaining, relaxing and SHEER JOYFUL games I've ever played. It's like the creator got an AAA FPS title, stripped out the shooter bits (and some gloss, I'll admit that) and put in things that just make in a simplier, clearer more enjoyable title. I'm still playing it - and imagine it will be one that'd I actually want to REPLAY! Considering all the titles that never get even downloaded, this is a major plus! Very recommended!
