What’s left of those who came before
If you need a pitch on Edith Finch, it’s a narrative adventure game where you play as the titular heroine Edith. The Finches are a superstitious family, governed in part by one constant rule: every member of the family has their own room. And the house the Finches live in just keeps growing, up and up.
As you enter new areas and learn more about the Finches who came before, trying to discover why Edith is the last Finch alive, you also learn about your family members. Each area is a new vi⛄gnette, often with its own mechanic and narrative device, exploring what happened to them and why. And also, maybe a little 💮bit about their life.
It is a sublimely beautiful game about life, legacy, family, death, mourning, and a really, really big house. As we covered five years ago and still today, What Remains of Edith Finch is very worth your time. And thos༺e rooms will likely look even better with all that hardware bolstering them.
