My Uncle's Garden

About

You get a strange letter summoning you to a remote forest cabin belonging to an uncle you never knew existed. My Uncle's Garden tasks you with exploring this secluded home and its overgrown yard to uncover why you were chosen. The gameplay loops around environmental puzzles hidden in bookshelves, garden tools, and weather patterns. Each solved riddle peels back layers of family secrets while the setting shifts between seasons to reveal new clues. The game's quiet dread and subtle storytelling stand out. Developer Ibrahim Oezhan crafts an unsettling atmosphere using creaking floorboards and half-heard whispers. While puzzle variety leans toward inventory-based object interaction, the 8-hour runtime on PC (Windows) keeps the tension steady. Early reviews note its Metacritic score of 72 highlights strengths in mood over mechanics. The July 2022 release drew praise for making players feel like they're figuring out a personal history they weren't meant to find.
