From the very beginning when you show up to the new world, your motion feels pretty limitless. I don't play a lot of first-person platformers so for me this one was a really new and exciting experience. Instead of a story-heavy point-and-click game like I predicted, it was actually a first-person platforming with really cool, really tight controls. This definitely happened with A Story About my Uncle. Sometimes having games on my wishlist or even in my backlog for a long times gives me the nice perk of being completely surprised by what type of game I find. Regardless, I think including the voice of the adult protagonist and his daughter through the story did give this story a warm feeling of being very personal and memorable. They could've let the narrator speak his thoughts and reaction through the adult voice while still having him speak to other characters through the child's voice in order to better understand him in that time and place. The voice acting for the characters does a lot for the game's story, so I think it was a bit of a weird choice that the protagonist's voice was only "narrated" by the adult version of him like a storybook rather than spoken by him as a child. The music is also not anything particularly standout-ish but was good at adding a mood of mystery and at times wonderment.

Some environments look a bit too almost too dark and are full of jagged surfaces, but some also look beautiful, life-like, and grandiose. By that standard, it's pretty dang good for a 3D game.
I wouldn't say the graphics in A Story About My Uncle are incredibly impressive, but then you have to remember that this is an indie game from 2014. Among them is Maddie, a sweet young girl (alien?) who decides to join you on your journey despite the fact that she was told not to leave her village. Along your journeys, you'll discover a civilization of alien people who not only speak English but seem to know your uncle very well. The suit you're wearing allows you to jump, grapple, and run freely around this unusual world, so you continue on a search for your uncle. This place looks mostly uninhabited, but you come across an abandoned campsite that must've be your uncle's. This world looks like space-like, with islands of grass seemingly floating in air. You turn on some mysterious machine and a hole in the ground opens, pulling you in to another world. You put it on and head up towards the observatory on the top floor.
Exploring around the house full of notes and books strewn about, you find a strange bodysuit that's perfectly your size. The game starts with a day where you visit your uncle's house and he's nowhere to be found. The story takes place when the protagonist was a young boy and used to visit his uncle's house, where he worked on his wild inventions with you. A Story About My Uncle is actually a narrated story that the protagonist, as an adult, is telling to his young daughter as a bedtime story.
