GameGrin's Emsey P. Walker writes: "We begin our journey in a small, unassuming hallway. The foyer this leads into seems familiar and friendly notes dotted here and there, some pictures on the walls and something dreadfully beckoning about that staircase. A soothing voice begins to talk and we hear a sweet dialogue between a father and daughter as she is being put to bed. It seems a bedtime story is in order, and so our journey begins. A Story About My Uncle, is just that; a story about the father as a boy and his adventures when he goes off to find his Uncle."
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?
