Gameplay
A Story About an Uncle is a journey game. It is played from a first-person perspective and uses platforming elements set in a world of drifting stones. The player is looking for Uncle Fred.
The play focuses on the narrator's Uncle Fred, as the narrator tells the young kids a bedtime story. A sign in the narrator's abandoned house informs the player that Fred has built a waste disposal system that is presumably controlled by starlight. Following this story, the game begins with the narrator as a child entering the "garbage disposal dimension" to search for his uncle. The player follows the uncle character through the game environment, with the player character wearing a suit that is equipped with a "magic hook and shock absorbers" that prevent the player character from taking damage upon landing. Later in the game, the player will find and be able to use jet-powered boots that allow them to travel further in one jump.
