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.

Masterpiece
It's like if Big Fish and Gone Home have had a brilliant child who is condemned to die young because of a family curse. 10/10

Very impressive
This is a very interesting game-experience. I didn't have any idea what to expect when I first saw this game. The creative team did a really good job in creating an athmosphere and storyline that makes your emotions sway from scared to happy, to loving and sadness. There are various ways in which movement and interaction have been implemented that make it very real. A great game which I advice to play in one sway, because thats possible (couple of hours) and you'll be way better into the story. A must play for all those willing to experience what games can offer these days in terms of story telling etc.

Not sure I call it a game... but...
Once again, we have another "game" I have a hard time calling a good game, but not because it's bad so much as it's hard to really call it a game. In fact it may be best to compare this to another title I once reviewed where I called it more of a virtual haunted house then a game. But where that was a haunted house, this felt more like a museum dedicated to the Finches and their various fates, complete with interactive displays for each. Take a few hours and relax as you explore and see what it all has to show you.

Walking simulator done right
Was expecting something like Gone Home, and it started that way, but what really sets this apart is the absolute creativity in exploring each character's story. Completely different styles depending on the character, and they are short enough so you don't get tired of them. Just enough to tell their story. A short but extremely memorable game.
