Story

The story of A Story About My Uncle is as follows:
Fred was renowned for his mountain climbing abilities at the age of 52, as noted in a newspaper displayed in the game's epilogue. He tragically died during a climbing accident, likely falling into a crevice or similar, and his body was never recovered, which is reflected in the memorial dedicated to him.
The narrative presented in the game is a fabrication created by the child to envision how Fred might have survived. The child, viewing Fred as a genius with expertise in quantum physics, imagined that Fred survived in an ice tomb using a mystical travel device and lived in a paradise with friendly creatures within the mountains. The child envisioned traveling in this world to find Fred, ultimately leading to the acceptance of his death.
This imaginative story explains why the locker in the end remains unopened and the absence of a launch pad, indicating that the narrative never occurred. The glowing message in the final ice room, translated as "Acceptance," and other secret words like "Denial" (in the portal) and "Anger" (in caverns) align with the psychological stages of mourning: shock, denial, anger, sadness, and acceptance.
