The world the hero encounters seems reminiscent of an ancient civilization, full of glowing symbols and even strange folk. The game teaches to combo the sprint, charged jumps with multiple uses of the gravitational pull, resulting in high-octane, high-thrill leaps over seemingly unbeatable distances and chasms.Ī Story About My Uncle is about much more than jumping, though.
Progressing unlocks more sequential uses of the grappling hook, up to three, which are displayed on the glove. Left clicking creates a sort of grappling hook made up of blue energy, steadily pulling the hero to the target. It lights up when it’s ready to make a charged jump, but quickly it’s second power is unlocked. The glove, which is always visible on screen, serves as a sort of HUD. This is very useful, as the cave is littered with small, distant islands, frequently floating. A regular jump is already pretty high, but pressing down the right mouse button leads to a charged, bigger leap, which can be made more horizontal by sprinting first. Starting out in mystical caves to follow his uncle, the future father learns to use the glove as the game teaches its mechanics.
Equipped with an incredible power glove, the hero can make high-altitude vaults and traverse large distances.
In those years, he spent a great deal of time with his uncle Fred, a researcher who found a way into a mystical land.Įssentially, A Story About My Uncle is a first-person perspective platformer. The protagonist in Gone North Games’ A Story About My Uncle is a father telling a bedtime story to his daughter, retelling a period of his youth. When I was young(er), just like most, I had that one “cool aunt” who traveled the world, told interesting stories, and didn’t feel the need to nag me about the same things my parents did.
