Summary

What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of short stories about a cursed family in Washington State. Each story offers a chance to experience the life of a different family member with stories ranging from the early 1900s to the present day. The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the family members 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. It's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us. You'll follow Edith Finch as she explores the history of her family and tries to figure out why she's the last Finch left alive.

Absolutely phenomenal and a masterpiece!

The only con that it is too Short..

Man, I went into this completely blind other than the fact that it's supposed to be a great game. Did not expect the emotional damage it would give me

Walking simulators are often underrated, mainly because they don't "feel like a video game". I think people often ignore just how innovative these games can actually be. Some of the best (indie) games over the past few years could be described as walking sims and as a fan of the genre let me tell you there's nothing quite like Edith Finch. Great story, amazing atmosphere and interesting "minigames" that progress the story. One of the best gaming experiences I've had. I've replayed it twice now.
