What Remains of Edith Finch
A strange family house and the stories of everyone who lived in it. Each chapter plays completely differently.
Running time
2 h 30 min
to the credits, at a relaxed pace
What happens
Edith returns to her family's odd, towering home on an island. Exploring each sealed bedroom unlocks a short story about a relative, told through a different kind of game every time.
Who will love it
Players who love stories, and anyone curious about what games can do. Best for older teens and adults.
Every room is new
One story is a flip-book, one a comic, one a daydream at a fish cannery. The variety is astonishing.
Themes to know
The game is about death in a family. It is told with care and wonder, but it is emotional.
One evening
It is designed to be played in one sitting of two to three hours.
Loved
- Brilliant storytelling
- Huge variety of ideas
- Gorgeous house design
Less so
- Little interaction in places
- Heavy themes
In a sentence
One of the finest short stories in games. Play it in one go.
