A true work of art
What a fantastic experience. Edith Finch is an elegant piece of story telling. The world you explore is strange and curious, drawing the player in to explore. Although you never meet any characters directly, the backstories are incredibly deep, and where Edith Finch excels is the creative ways it tells each person's story. From living a graphic novel to seeing a story in a flipbook, it give you enough agency to feel in the story while immersing you in a well-told campire narrative. And the visuals in this interactive -- truly one of the most beautiful examples I've seen yet of digital art. Took me about 3 hrs to finish, but as soon as I did I wanted to start over from the beginning. It's the kind of story you want to return to a few times a year, just to relive it again, like a favorite novel. Everyone should walk the Finch house. Do it in one sitting, with headphone for that moving music, and let the narration sweep you away.
