Drew Leachman writes: I had never heard of A Story About My Uncle up until about a week before its release. Of course, I was first semi-joking when I heard the title, and after seeing some screenshots of the game, I was intrigued. After playing it, I can see the ideas Gone North Games had were sound, but some issues stood out a little too much for me.
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?
