Dec. 2025

What Remains of Edith Finch is a short, first-person, narrative-driven adventure game with an atmosphere that blends quiet absurdity with deep melancholy - reminiscent of A Series of Unfortunate Events. It places you behind the eyes of Edith Finch, the last surviving member of the Finches: a large, eccentric, and extraordinarily unlucky family whose members all met fantastical and unfortunate ends. The gameplay largely resembles a walking simulator. You explore the Finch family home - a towering, unusual, and maybe even intimidating structure - uncovering a series of documents that detail what happened to each family member. It rarely expands beyond this, with only a handful of sections asking you to engage more actively, but it works. Given the game’s brief runtime and its clear focus on experiencing each family member’s story, it doesn’t need to be anything more. To avoid spoilers, I won’t go into the specifics of each segment. Broadly, discovering a document written by Edie Finch transports you into the perspective of the deceased family member, allowing you to experience their final moments first-hand. Each vignette progresses in slightly different ways and, while the game remains rooted in the walking simulator genre throughout, shifts in art style and presentation ensure it never feels stale. Given that the story revolves entirely around death, it’s no surprise that grief sits at the heart of the narrative. Despite its short length, the game delivers a powerful message. Much of it is left open to interpretation - fans are still debating the true nature of certain deaths years later - but it effectively captures grief as a lasting, ever-changing human experience. It shows how grief can differ even among those who loved the same person, how it can distort perception, shape memory, and influence life-altering decisions. Having experienced significant loss this year, the narrative resonated with me on a personal level. I appreciated seeing grief expressed in such distinct ways - how it can drive you to withdraw, as it does with Dawn; reshape your perception of events, as seen through Edie; or instil a quiet dread for the future, as it does for Edith. The contrast between Edie’s experience of grief and that of her daughter Dawn (Edith’s mother) is particularly compelling. Their differing responses are presented thoughtfully, without attempting to invalidate either perspective. What makes the story so powerful is how deeply human these characters feel. They simply exist, navigating the world in ways that will feel familiar to many - especially those who have struggled with loss themselves. Although some sections are emotionally difficult to play, I found myself completely absorbed. After finishing the game, I continued to reflect on it, forming my own interpretations of each character’s story and the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Overall, I really enjoyed my time with What Remains of Edith Finch and would recommend it to anyone who values emotional, meaningful storytelling. While its tightly focused narrative means there’s limited replay value beyond revisiting the stories, the strength of the writing, voice acting, and art direction make it more than worth experiencing at least once.

This game has the most innovative storytelling I’ve ever experienced. It’s incredibly satisfying to go through all the small stories—each told in a unique way—and then piece them together to reveal the final picture. I highly recommend this game; after playing it, I felt inspired to start writing a diary. Few games make me want to change something in my own life, but this is one of them.

March 2025

Sometimes, I wonder why I wait so long to play certain games: the ones so many people recommend, the ones I buy with every intention of experiencing, only to let them sit untouched for months or even years. I tell myself I’m waiting for the perfect moment. But in reality, I’m just delaying something inevitable, something wonderful. Because if the words people use to describe these games could capture even a fraction of the raw, unfiltered emotion they felt while playing, I wouldn’t wait at all. That’s the power of these games. That’s the power of art. No matter how hard we try, language will always fall short of truly conveying what an experience means to us. Now, I understand why so many of you recommended What Remains of Edith Finch. Thank you.
