Gameplay

A Story About My Uncle is an adventure indie video game. Played from a first-person perspective, the game is set around platformer set in a world of floating rocks.

The game focuses on the narrator's uncle Fred, as the narrator tells a bedtime story to a small child. The uncle Fred is described as "a brilliant scientist – a whimsical and even-tempered version of Uncle Quentin from the Famous Five books". A blackboard in the narrator's abandoned house tells he built a "waste disposal system" possibly powered by starlight. Then the story begins as narrator as a child version enters the "waste disposal dimension" to search for his uncle. The player follows the "uncle" through the environment by using suits that feature "magical grappling hook and shock absorbers" which stop you from taking damage when landing. Later on in the game, the player will find "jet-propelling boots" which "boost across greater distances". The story-line of the game is roughly four to six hours.
