4/27/2023 0 Comments Easter eggs a story about my uncleHidden collectables scattered across the game also impact the narration and stories that are told. As you progress through the game, the narrator gives his account of what’s happening on screen to his daughter, all while she asks questions about the adventure and her great uncle. The narration is gentle and charming, even meandering at times. This is added to by the easter eggs that are scattered across the first level, for example part of the script for the narrator in pages scattered on the floor of your uncle’s lab. The story focuses around an adventure that the main character went on one day while searching for his missing Uncle Fred. This charismatic flow begins right away, with the narrator telling a fantastic tale about his uncle as a bedtime story to his daughter. The entire game has a dream-like, almost fairytale feel radiating off of everything from the story to the setting to gameplay itself. Even though your character moves at the same speed as a tortoise sifting through molasses, this intro scene does a good job of setting the stage and tone for the adventure you’re about to go on. The game’s intro is a slow burn for the player, which starts by exploring your Uncle’s abandoned lab at a snail’s pace. As far as I can tell one day this game popped into existence from nowhere and sat collecting digital dust until this review. Even going as far as to check my purchase history, I didn’t find a single piece of information on how I got the game. A Story About My Uncle was a strange addition to my Steam library, as I don’t remember buying it or getting it as a gift. The first-person platformer is named quite literally, with the plot just being a tale about the main character’s uncle and your quest to track him down. Starting as a free demo developed over the course of three months by a few college students, A Story About My Uncle was given a full release in May 2014. Only the very best titles will stand up to scrutiny today. Brutal Backlog is a semi-regular feature where the JDR team plough through some of the unplayed games on their shelves (both digital and physical), disregarding their age or the technical limitations of their era.
