A Story About My Uncle

A Story About My Uncle is a non-violent first-person platform adventure built in Unreal Engine. It follows a boy searching for his lost uncle, only to discover a world he never imagined existed. Movement is central to the game’s core gameplay, focusing on swinging through vast caverns with a grappling hook mechanic that delivers a strong sense of speed and freedom. Soar through a uniquely styled world as a mysterious story slowly unfolds.

The game is framed as a bedtime story a father tells his daughter. As a boy, the father dreamed of following his uncle Fred on adventures around the world. When Uncle Fred suddenly disappears, the boy sets out to find him and is drawn into another world. Using his uncle’s inventions, he explores beautiful underground caves, uncovers clues to Fred’s whereabouts, and meets fantastical creatures who help him along the way. The deeper he travels, the more the mystery grows—where did Uncle Fred go, and why did he leave so abruptly?
