Now that she finally arrived somewhere she was accepted, she was reluctant to follow you and leave the place where she felt at home in. She joined you out of concern for Fred, but also to escape her village where she felt like an outsider. She found a place where the people don’t mind her weirdness and shares the same inquisitive and experimentative spirit as her.įor the first time, she felt that she belonged somewhere. She tagged along in your quest to find Fred, but parted ways some time before the end, entrusting you to find him and convey to him how much she misses him. A close friend of Fred, she was ostracized by the village for her weird mannerisms and inquisitiveness. She was part of the weird amphibious race native to this world you and Fred landed in.

The story of A Story About My Uncle is like listening to a wonderful melody played on a flute, simple, pleasant, and it leaves a faint but indelible impression on your heart.

If that name seems familiar, it’s because they are also the developers for Goat Simulator. It was a nice indie game by Gone North Games that deserves getting a look at. Recently, I saw it again while looking through my Steam library for something to play (I know I know, first world problems), replayed it, and recalled how good it was. I got it as a gift from my IRL friend for Christmas (I think, it’s been some time), and I spent a fair bit of time playing around when I got it. I can’t remembered how I first came across this game. It was ended by Mannpower Mode in TF2, but before that I was still looking for games to scratch that grappling hook itch. ![]() After playing Just Cause 2, I had a bit of a grappling hook addiction. ![]()
