This year has been a great one for the small studios with big ideas and even bigger talent. Sitting down, looking at my ever-growing Steam library, I am constantly reminded that, more and more, the experiences had with the titles from the twenty man (if that) teams are time and again trumping that which we are seeing from the three-hundred man teams and their million dollar marketing budgets.
After finishing A Story About My Uncle, I am happy to say that it can count itself among those of that list. What more, I may have just found my current favorite title of the year thus far.
Our latest Brutal Backlog is an inventive, wild story about... yes, an uncle. Grab a cup of cocoa and see if this 2014 indie platformer by Coffee Stain is still worth staying past your bedtime for.
The Humble Store is giving away free copies of A Story About My Uncle. The free promotion runs from Thursday, January 10 at 1 PM Eastern until Saturday, January 12 at 1 PM Eastern (or while supplies last).
A Story About My Uncle was suggested to Kinglink by one of his Steam friends. He knew almost nothing about it and had received A Story About My Uncle over a year ago in the Humble Indie Bundle 18. Still, he seems to have gravitated towards story-based games, so what’s the harm in one more?
Personal game of the so far.
