A Story About My Uncle

You play a boy searching for his missing uncle, following clues into a strange world of caves, canyons, lost civilizations, and fantastical creatures. The adventure is presented as a story being told to his daughter. Movement is the central challenge. Use a grappling glove to latch onto surfaces and swing or pull yourself through the air, combine grabs with jumps, and later use rocket boots to cover more distance. Momentum and timing help you reach platforms and cross gaps. Explore each area for clues and lore objects as you make your way through the levels. Collectible blueprints unlock cosmetic effects, and optional time trials provide movement challenges after the story.

Search a fantastical world for your missing uncle in a first-person platform adventure built around grappling swings and boosted jumps.
