The movement in A Story About My Uncle is a crucial part of its core gameplay focusing on swinging through the world with a grappling hook that gives the player a wonderful sense of speed and freedom.

Rocket Jump: In the penultimate level, the player acquires rocket boots which allow them to gain a burst of speed in midair and fly further.A Story About My Uncle is a first person platforming adventure game about a boy who searches for his lost uncle, and ends up in a world he couldn’t imagine existed.

No OSHA Compliance: The Village and Star Haven do have some fences to protect from falls, but it's still ridiculously easy to accidentally wander off the edge and go plummeting to your doom.

At one point you have to fall quite a distance, then grab the underside of a ledge.

Leap of Faith: When there are no platforms in range on the grappling device, you have to jump and find your target while falling.

Kid Hero: The player controls a young version of the adult narrator.

Hidden Elf Village: A twofer - Sanctuary, the Village and Star Haven, the Strays' village.Heroic Mime: Of sorts - the narrator obviously speaks as an adult, but the young version of him we play as never says a word.Gravity Screw: The bonus unlockable 'Acrobatic' mode, which causes the player to flip 360 degrees every time they power jump, grapple, or use the rocket boots.Frictionless Ice: While it doesn't impede the player's walking, some of the ice in the final level is too thick and reflective to be able to grapple on it, meaning the player has to find alternate ways of advancing.Forbidden Zone: The caves beneath the Village, which the villagers refuse to go near.Floating Platforms: You will be seeing a lot of these.Floating Continent/ World in the Sky: The Strays' village could be an example of either if you move the camera down you can glimpse large, forested landmasses below, but it's not clear whether these are an actual ground or simply other, larger floating continents.First-Person Ghost: The only parts of the protagonist's body we ever see are his arms.Down in the Dumps: The Village is built of trash from Earth, which presumably arrived via the same garbage disposal pad as the player.Deus Exit Machina: At one point of the game, your rocket boots are disabled by a big fall, and you can't use them until you find some tools to repair them.Crate Expectations: There are some crates lying around, then, at the beginning of the Ice Cave, there are a lot of them, floating then later falling.Checkpoint Starvation: While the game is generally fairly generous with its placement of checkpoints, the lack of any during the infamous stalactite part of the Ice Caves can lead to much frustration.

Bottomless Pits: Pretty much everwhere, but you'll respawn on the previous platform anyway if you do fall.

Rather than having to directly fight it in any way, you're supposed to sneak past it by exploiting the fact that it can only see you when you're moving.

Boss Battle: The game has only one singular enemy in it, and it's a giant centipede-like creature with a giant eye that you meet at the end of Chasms.

Blackout Basement: The third level, the Chasms, where the player has to use their grapple power on various glowing plants to temporarily light their way.

All of the Other Reindeer: Maddie feels ostracised from the others in the village, as they are resistant to change whereas she embraces it.

Along his journey, the unnamed protagonist journeys through a variety of gorgeous locales and meets various characters who help him out.
