It’s a very short-lived experience - two-and-a-half hours at most - but at the same time delivers a thrilling tale as the narrator, father, and nephew explains to his young daughter what he witnessed as he looked for Uncle Fred. Now the stage is set for the rest of the game: with the features of the suit, jump across lengthy gaps, grapple your way from one island to another, and try to not fall to your death as you make your way across various worlds in search of your lost uncle. The boy moves to the pad, the dome to the observatory opens, and suddenly, he gets launched, mysteriously appearing in an alternate reality and crashing into a forest-themed world.

Curiosity gets to the better of the child, even though his uncle has warned him in the past not to touch anything, and he activates a switch. This is where Uncle Fred keeps all of his experiments, and within the center of the room there is a pad that makes for a garbage disposal. Eager to try it on, the boy equips himself, mentioning that ‘it fit like it had been custom-made for him.’ This is where you, as the player, see the narrator’s hand in first-person (with a blue bandage towards the tip of his ring finger), and it will be the only part of his body that you’ll see throughout the game you won’t get to see what he looks like.įurther up the house lies the observatory. It looks just like the one Uncle Fred uses, only smaller. Upstairs in the home, the unnamed narrator and nephew finds an unlocked locker with a technologically-advanced suit in it. This time around, however, Uncle Fred left without notice, and as his nephew explores his home, he discovers he still hasn’t returned. This uncle - by the name of Fred - is a magnificent inventor of sorts, and, as such, has been able to travel to all kinds of places: Kilimanjaro, Nepal, the Galapagos Islands, and even the Amazon river. Set in an unknown era, a young lad - whose name, interestingly enough, isn’t mentioned at all in the game - visits his uncle’s home to see if he has returned from his latest adventure. Thus the story of Uncle Fred unfolds and his nephew’s adventure to find his lost whereabouts. “Something, something about an adventure.” “Aren’t you sleeping yet?” The father replies.
