My Uncle Merlin Demo

Although there’s a clear divide between fantasy and sci-fi universes, there are some interesting combinations out there, although it’s pretty difficult to make them work together in a believable manner. If realism is not a requirement, on the other hand, the writers are free to go crazy and imagine all sorts of ludicrous things, which can lead to great stories with memorable characters.

My Uncle Merlin is a humorous adventure game that combines sorcery with space exploration, as well as a few interesting gameplay elements. Thus, it plays like a puzzle game with visual novel and RPG mechanics, which is intriguing to say the least. You get to make choices that alter the story, increase your character’s stats, as well as drive a weird spaceship around the vastness of space.

The main character’s name is Eddie, and he is a young man with many dreams. He wants to become a powerful wizard like his uncle Merlin, who is also the one who takes him along on his quest. Thus, the two of them take their dragon-powered ship and go around the universe in search of adventure, while your goal is to make new friends and complete various missions.

Many of the characters you meet can be asked to join the crew, but you have to bear in mind the fact that only a handful of people fit in your ship. The stats you choose at the beginning of the story also affect your ability to make certain choices, which in turn affect the course of the story. You can also collect useful items and store them in your inventory in order to use them at a later date.

Humor is by far the most important part of the game, otherwise this whole combination of genres wouldn’t work. Thankfully, the writers have done a good job in this regard, so there are plenty of funny interactions along the way. As for the graphics, the artwork is very smooth and detailed, not to mention exaggerated in order to fit the theme of the game.

Even if My Uncle Merlin can be a bit confusing at first because of all the weird elements that are part of it, it grows on you after only a few minutes, thanks to the great writing and the simple gameplay. Hence, you can show your support for the project by participating in the Kickstarter campaign.
