The center of A Story About My Uncle is the story, but the gameplay is just as crucial to the experience. Movement is everything, well aside from the intriguing story. Using a grappling hook you soar through the unique world Gone North Games created. This world includes lost civilizations and unforgiving mysterious landscapes. As you move through the storyline you will learn what happened to your uncle while meeting nee creatures and uncover their own stories. Steam describes the story:
“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”.
This game is in first person and a non-violent game. Instead of relying upon violence to entertain, A Story About My Uncle relies upon the story and gameplay. It can be played on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and is compatible with a controller. Currently A Story About My Uncle is 10% Off until June 4. Plus there are Steam Achievements to show off as you earn them.
