Note written 2026-08-26; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A Story About My Uncle is a short, narrative-driven 3D platformer about reconnecting with a lost family member through increasingly challenging gravity-defiant mechanics.

This 2014 title maintains quiet but durable appeal, generating solid monthly residuals with an exceptionally high positive-review ratio and median session length suggesting strong replay value and achievement hunting. The developer studio is no longer active, but the catalog owner (Coffee Stain Publishing) retains the asset. Revival or licensing play is realistic if a partner can refresh the IP or bundle it into a curated collection; the franchise potential is limited, but the core mechanics and emotional hook remain mechanically sound and culturally timeless. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Platformer market is saturated; without marketing push or bundle placement, organic discovery will remain low despite strong sentiment.
• Risk: No developer updates in over nine years; engine, controller support and platform-specific issues may accumulate.
• Risk: Studio is inactive, limiting post-sale dev support and limiting franchise expansion.
