The Uncle Who Works for Nintendo Game Story

You're an 11-year-old kid. Your best friend, Dave, has just invited you to spend the weekend at his house. It's a wonderful opportunity to escape your poverty-stricken life, help your mom save money on babysitting, and enjoy a cozy dinner with a seemingly perfect family.

Everything starts out normal: spaghetti with meatballs, a big-screen TV, and a stack of video game consoles in the closet. But then Dave mentions his uncle at Nintendo—who, according to Dave, helped him get the real Mew in Pokémon, unreleased games, and video game consoles you've never seen before.

You start to notice strange things:

• Why aren't there any pictures of Uncle Dave in the house?
• Dave used to have a brother, but now he insists he never did.
• Dave’s parents seem to be… standing there forever in the dining room, not blinking.
• And then, he says, “He’ll be here at midnight.”

The Uncle Who Works for Nintendo Gameplay

The Uncle Who Works for Nintendo is an interactive horror game that allows players to make their own choices, each of which can result in a unique outcome. You can:

• Engage in a discussion with Dave or make an effort to understand his perspective.
• Find out the truth about the storm that happened and the memories that were erased.
• Call your mom to pick you up early, or stay and wait for the mysterious uncle to show up.
• Run away from “Uncle”… or face him.

There are multiple endings: you can survive, you can save Dave… or you can become part of that terrifying loop.

A hungry force in the form of a promise

“Uncle” is not a person. He is the embodiment of desire, ambition, and exploited loneliness. He promises new games, superhuman skills, and a joyful family if you will only do one simple thing: feed him. And that food is friends, real memories, and yourself.
