Fortunately, the suit you found in your uncle’s house has a neat grappling hook which allows you to traverse the platforms. The mysterious world that you find yourself exploring is made up out of many small floating islands so solid ground is a scarce commodity in this game.
Thanks to the gameplay mechanics and breathtaking visual landscape, the first person view actually makes the game even more immersive. ASAMU pulls it off quite well though, and it never felt like the chosen perspective was hampering the gameplay. The game is viewed from a first person perspective which is always a concern when it comes to platforming adventures. The rest of the characters sound fine though, and the narration doesn’t detract from the atmospheric journey. The voice acting is generally quite good, although some of the lines from the protagonist sound a bit off. You’ll also encounter items in the gameworld that cause his daughter to ask questions prompting the narrator to further flesh out the story. As you explore the beautiful new world the narrator explains what he did and why which is a very cool feature. The story of the game is narrated by the now much older protagonist telling it to his daughter as a bedtime story. The uncle of the protagonist has gone missing and instead of informing the authorities, the boy does the next best thing and straps on a high-tech suit that he finds in his uncle’s house before launching himself into a mysterious new world. This is exactly what you do in A Story About My Uncle, a charming platform adventure from the Swedish based studio, Gone North Games. We have searched for many people, places and objects in games before, but this is probably the first time that the quest is to locate an uncle.
