What Remains of Edith Finch
Description
What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state.
As Edith, you’ll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she's the last one in her family left alive. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day.
The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the Finches themselves. The only constants are that each is played from a first-person perspective and that each story ends with that family member's death.
Ultimately, it's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us.
Created by Giant Sparrow, the team behind the first-person painting game The Unfinished Swan.

An elegiac, memorable and affecting tale of the misfortunes suffered by the members of a deeply eccentric family.

8/10
A compelling story well told, and although it's still not very interactive the variety and artfulness of the presentation feels like something only a video game could do.

Touching, sad, and brilliant; a story worth forgiving the limited interactivity to experience.

One of the best narrative games I played
A moving, beautifully crafted narrative journey that balances creativity with emotional depth. Short, but unforgettable. Play if: - You want a story that’s emotionally powerful and not afraid to tackle heavy themes. - You enjoyed narrative-driven games like Firewatch or Gone Home. - You appreciate variety in presentation. Each family story feels unique. - You’re looking for a short, polished, atmospheric experience. Skip if: - You expect puzzles, combat, or challenging gameplay. This is a pure narrative journey. - You dislike linearity (the story unfolds in a fixed order with little replay value). - You need a long game. It can be finished in 2–3 hours. - You’re not comfortable with stories centered on family tragedy and mortality.

Lives up to the hype
Note: You should avoid watching the trailer/looking at any screenshots. This is the type of game where half of the fun is in the discovery. For the first minute, I was unimpressed. Every minute thereafter, I was hooked. Almost had me crying at one point. Played it straight through in one sitting, but I'm sure I missed some secrets. Highly, highly recommended.

Beautifully poetic
Play it with all your intensity, but no rush; like life, short and sweet.

An experience
I loved the story of Edith Finch, a story I do not wish to spoil. How it would end was obvious way before it ended, yet how it happened still surprised me. The controls are a bit weird, felt like they were intended for a controller; this does not mar the experience, it's something you can mostly get used to. The game is a walking simulator, telling of the curse of the Finch family. Short stories are told about each family member and what happened to them. Each story is told, shown and interacted with in a unique way. One story near the end stood out for me, though I liked almost all of them anyway. Edith Finch is a game I would definitely recommend you experience. Even if the pricetag and the runtime of two hours bothers you I implore you to pick it up when it hits the right price for you.
