A Story About My Uncle – Trailers, Screens, Info – May 14, 2014

A Story About My Uncle, from indie developer Gone North Games, is a non-violent first-person platform adventure for PC about a boy who searches for his lost uncle. It’s a search that leads him to a world he couldn’t have imagined existed.

Movement is a crucial part of the game’s core gameplay and is focused on swinging through the game world’s beautiful scenery using a grappling hook. This gives the player a wonderful sense of speed and freedom.

As you uncover clues as to your uncle’s whereabouts, you’ll meet fantastical creatures that will help you on your journey.

A Story About My Uncle started out as a university project and was quickly nominated for Game of the Year in the Swedish Game Awards 2012. The game is now being remade, finished and polished. It will launch on May 28th for PC.
