A collection of vignettes, each a self-contained story experienced from the perspective of a different Finch family member, is the core of Edith Finch's appeal. Its strength lies in how it uses interactive storytelling to explore themes of family and mortality, with each chapter introducing new gameplay mechanics tailored to the character's life and circumstances. Players remember the game for its innovative approach to narrative, which prioritizes evocative imagery and emotional resonance over traditional puzzle-solving.

About What Remains of Edith Finch

View Game Details
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.
