My uncle Merlin is an interactive adventure regarding wizards in space. It’s an unconventional journey through the vast, yet oddly symmetrical unknown, on an unrelenting, dragon-propelled wizardly tower. The game is coming to Kickstarter this September, alongside a playable demo.

Now that you’re all caught up, we present Eddie, our unsuspecting protagonist.

The Origins

Eddie was raised by a nomadic tribe of ogres. His true parents were powerful wizards whose interests included grinding for XP across the countryside. They used to take Eddie on their raids because it was too dangerous to leave him home alone.

One time, their quest was less than successful and Eddie was now an orphaned baby boy in the middle of a very dangerous territory. He was found by a couple of ogre scouts who, after careful deliberation, decided not to eat him on the spot. Upon bringing him back to the camp, the ogre shaman sensed arcane powers within the boy, and decided to prohibit the eating of the toddler by anyone in the tribe. As time went on, the lovable lump of flesh turned their hearts around, and for obvious reasons, was named Edible Wizard. The name stuck with him beyond the threat of being digested.
