What Remains of Edith Finch is a first-person exploration video game developed by Giant Sparrow and published by Annapurna Interactive. The game is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state, and as Edith, the player explores the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why shes the last one in her family left alive. Each story the player finds lets them experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day. The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the Finches themselves, and each is played from a first-person perspective and ends with that family member's death. Ultimately, the game is about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us.
