What Remains of Edith Finch

What Remains of Edith Finch is a short and memorable journey through Edith Finch's fantastic bibliography, where you'll get to know her entire family and the imaginary glimpses she possessed.

Love how the story is both in-your-face and left open ended. Mainly watched playthroughs in the past, will replay it one day myself. The aura and coziness of the game are immesurable, never a story game ringed so much with me, and I have issues with empathy. Lewis felt too real, I have flashbacks to this day when doing mundane repetitive tasks. This is peak Annapurna and Giant Sparrow work, I wish we got more games from the developers, The Unfinished Swan was nice too and connects well with the lore in this game. You feel miserable living some of the character's story.

One of the greatest short story-based games I've ever played is this one. The story is compact but incredibly powerful. The atmosphere is incredibly rich and completely immersive, while the gameplay is simple yet captivating. I was especially moved by Lewis's story because his experience struck a chord with me as a daydreamer.

From my standpoint, the family wasn’t cursed or haunted by monsters. Rather, their terrible destiny appears to have been caused by a string of unfavorable incidents, which were worsened by neglect and mental illness.

Don't understand why it was recommended this much. Graphics was well sure but the story wasn't as dramatic or striking as i thought it would be after reading the comments. Maybe i raised my expectations a little too high.

The Ending game me goosebumps. A true masterpiece. Fabulous storytelling. Worth every penny 🔥

Pretty good short story for about 3 hours.
Leave you more confused than you were 3 hours earlier.

Music and narration is really good.

Only worth it if it's on sale the game is super short it's more like a two hour tour through some girls troubled past it wasn't a bad game it was dark and twisted with great graphics but if you're expecting more than an interactive story look somewhere else but I wouldn't pay much more than $8 for it

At first, I thought it was a casual, relaxing walking simulator, but the more I progressed, the more the game threw curveballs at me—and the more I liked it. Highly recommended!

one of the best game i have ever played.
Storytelling,graphics,Gamelay all are perfect.
i'm telling you 'you must get this experience'
very interesting game, truly recommended

Very emotional journey from beginning to end. This game uses so many intuitive mechanics of game play for each character flashback; it is so creative and unique!

It Is a short walking simulator on rails with zero interaction other then open doors and letters. The story Is somewhat intriguing but over all confusing. The "walk" Is short of two hours. Maybe for a couple of €/USD Is worth the buy. More than that I would not pay.

A beautifully crafted collection of short stories that leaves you both melancholic and wanting more.

For an indie game, What Remains of Edith Finch boasts impressive visuals, and as a walking simulator, it gives you the space to fully appreciate them. The storytelling is remarkably original, with moments that left me speechless due to the creativity of its presentation.

The overarching narrative is open to interpretation, which I don’t always love, but in this case, I found it engaging and well fitting. It lingers in your mind even after the credits roll, making the experience all the more memorable.

This game is a true masterpiece, I wish more people knew it. I'm blown away by the amount of imagination and effort the developers put into this game and don't understand how you can play through it in 2 hours, it took me almost five hours because I enjoyed looking at every single detail. It's one of those games that I wish I could play for the first time again.

I don't understand all the wow reviews for this game. Nor the people who cried at how sad it was. It is beautiful, and has lots of originality. But my arm hurts from having to play with arrow keys together with a mouse. Maybe a joy stick is better. And so many scenes are way too dark (visually, not emotionally). I couldn't see a thing, even after adjusting all my graphic settings.
I had to use a walkthrough to find the next room several times. I liked having to figure out how to move differently in each scene. I didn't like that I couldn't save at will. Having to wait for the next autosave was not fun. I had to exit without it a few times, then had to re-play scenes when I got back to it.
My game clock said I played almost 7 hours. I think maybe an hour was when I just left it on, not wanting to lose my gameplay by exiting without a save.
So for the $5 price, I'd say worth it. But don't expect the astonishing greatness some people claim.

A beautifully somber walking simulator that recounts the story of the Finch family's misfortune through creative story-telling and strong writing. Worth the full price but is a steal on sale. I recommend this game to people who are new to gaming or interested in story rich experiences.

I LOVE this game. I cannot express the feelings I experience playing this. Deadass have played this game on my PlayStation + PC well over 30 times ❤️❤️❤️

What a beautiful little game. Great story, great graphics, honestly nothing to complain about.
Just beware that its very short, i beat the game in under 2hrs and got all achievements (which are really easy) in 2.3hrs. So id recommend getting it on sale.

Brilliant game! The story is very engaging and the graphics are brilliant!

The best way to get pleasure in your only evening, weekend, or relaxation time, etc.
An interesting story with good enough levels like Dreams of Molly and Fish Factory!
Thanks for this game and those cool 3 hours!

很想打差评因为私人游玩体验相当难受，甚至不想补成就。但这故事挺好

The concept was intriguing, but the ending was unsatisfying for me. If you're looking for an easy, short game that will leave you feeling depressed though, this is the game for you.

A short, but beautiful game told through various styles of storytelling and immersive game play.

It was a while since I started crying like this. The story was very beautiful, and sad at the same time that hurt my soul. I wish I played this game much sooner....

good job and thanks for creating this amazing game :)

This is the type of game that will make you just sit in silence and soak it all after you finish it. Perfect is the only word that can describe. Well written story, Unique game play and beautiful graphic. The way this game progress is like aging a fine wine. You just let it be while exciting to see what result of the story you will see. Incredible.

Okay, this family was… maybe… not very intelligent? Raising kids in a house where you can't properly watch them, putting a swing at the edge of a cliff, forgetting your baby in the bath, letting your family work in a dangerous place while hallucinating, making your innocent daughter shoot a deer only for it to kill you instead (deserved), etc, etc, etc. Man, I can't empathize with any of it. This is just the story of a mad family doing nonsense and creating their own drama.

The graphics and art style were good tho.

It's an emotional story that sometimes hits the right beats and pacing but overall didn't really work for me.

To start with the positive - the graphics in this game were beautiful. It was immersive and so intriguing and I wish i was able to actually explore every nook and cranny of this house. But this game is strange. It's more of a story than anything, with confusing "games" interwoven between the chapters. The stories themselves are incredibly sad and depressing, and leave many things open to interpretation. If you're looking for an interactive game where you do many different things, this isn't it. But if you want to be told a story about an incredibly unlucky family, presented to you in a pretty package, you might enjoy this. Personally, I do not feel it was worth the time spent or the cost.

This game is the most amazing i've ever played. Story 10/10 graphics 10/10 everything just 10/10!!! LOVE IT. I RECOMMEND

What Remains of Edith Finch is one of my favourite stories ever told in a game, and it’s a perfect example of why video games are such a unique storytelling medium. The Finch family’s tales are haunting, beautiful, and deeply human, blending tragedy and whimsy in a very unique way that's very captivating.

What makes this experience so special is how it uses interactivity to immerse you in its world. Whether it’s swinging on a swing set or crawling through a comic book, every action pulls you deeper into the narrative. The game plays with perspective and mechanics to make each story feel unique and personal, something only possible in a video game.

It’s short (less than 2 hours), and more of a narrative journey than a traditional game, so it won’t be for everyone. But if you’re looking for a story that will stick with you, What Remains of Edith Finch is an unforgettable experience.
9/10 (Amazing)

WOW
just wow...
what can i say
this game was a surprise
the storytelling and the voice acting with the graphics, the cozy house
everything from the beginning till the end was perfect, this game was incredible and very interesting

I LOVED IT

After years of wanting to play this game, I decided to finally play it to get my mind off of recent personal negative events. This story is about a girl named Edith revisiting a house she grew up in to discover the stories of her past relatives and understand why and how they died. It is a story about sadness, hardship, and the curse of the Finch family. While this story might not be for everyone, it's a story that should be remembered in gaming and walking sims. I recommend this game to give it a shot; it's short, and the achievements are quite easy to obtain. As someone who lives in Washington myself, it felt more realistic and immersive, as if this were a place nearby I had visited. I took my time with this game to fully immerse myself in Edith’s story; some took an hour and a half, while I took over 7 to complete. I recommend taking your time as well to appreciate and hear Edith's story of "What Remains of Edith Finch." 8/10 would play again.

Engaging Even After Years

I first played What Remains of Edith Finch back in 2017 when it launched, and here I am in 2025, still amazed by its uniqueness. Sure, it’s a walking simulator with only about 2 hours of gameplay, but that doesn’t make it any less engaging. Exploring the massive Finch house as Edith feels like stepping into a living, breathing storybook. This unique and emotional game leaves you reflecting long after the credits roll — making you wonder: did the Finches’ obsession with their so-called “curse” make it real, or were their deaths simply a chain of avoidable accidents driven by neglect, bad choices, and underlying psychological conditions like Maladaptive Daydreaming, Avoidant Coping, Delusional Thinking?

It's important to remember that it’s an indie game — short and with limited gameplay. However, if you jump into it with the right expectations and value artistic storytelling and thought-provoking visuals, this game is absolutely worth your time. It may not be the best game out there, but it’s definitely one of the good ones in its weight class. A great game that stands the test of time.

The story of the stupidest family in history.

Oh my goodness is this not worth the price. I certainly enjoyed my very limited time with it, but there are so many other games that are more meaningful at a lower price tag.

WRoEF is art incarnate. Every single detail is handcrafted and fine tuned to perfection.

I am in awe, I don't even know how to categorize it. It's like you are getting dragged inside of a painting. like you are falling inside a story book. I guess the best way I can put it in a box in a conventional way would be an interactive animated movie and if that's the term I'm going for then it's one of the greatest damned movies I've ever had the pleasure to experience.

I could not recommend this more, this is simply, jaw-droppingly beautiful.

What Remains of Edith Finch is my absolute favorite game, and I’ve played it at least four times! This game surprises me every time I play it. It has the best story I’ve ever experienced in a game, and honestly, the story is better than any movie I’ve watched. The story is both heartbreaking and beautiful, and at the same time, very magical. It’s a truly unique game with superb storytelling that stays with you through the years.

I can't recommend this game enough, and to the person who said, "I don`t have words, why is this family so stupid? This game feels like a bad trip.", I actually think you are the one tripping! :)

This game is 10/10 if you enjoy story rich games!

Less of a game and more of an interactive (2 hour long) short film. I found the hand-holding game play too frustrating to enjoy the stories.

such a beautiful game. i first played this as a young teenager and replaying it now as an adult made me understand it and see on a new deeper level. everyone should play this game, the story is so rich and the details are CRAZY. i feel like i inspected almost every nook and cranny of this peculiar house but im sure ill revisit in the upcoming years and find tons of new secrets about the finch family.

There's so much to say about this game but at the same time, there doesn't seem to be the right words that will do it justice. This game was incredible. Each story is it's own individual masterpiece and artistic style that makes you feel excited to see what the next one will be. It's beautiful, mysterious, sad and leaves you with tears in your eyes and wishing for more.
I bought it on sale, but it's definitely worth paying full price for.
I absolutely loved this game.

Totally recommend to play.
Interesting and amazing stories. The music allows you to dive into each story and feel what the character was feeling. Simple gameplay, but addictive.
It was sad, but I'd love to go through it again.

cute experience, i was amazed by the precision of the developers in placing the on screen dialogues exaclty where i was about to look! very neat
also the game, maxed out at 4k, looks surprisingly good

This game is like going back into your childhood. Into a world we once knew, before the internet and massive social engineering. The house feels like you lived there before and each room is cozy and full of nostalgia. It really showed something I knew deep down which is the importance of honouring our ancestors and by remembering them we keep their memory alive. GOD tier storytelling and soundtrack. I have never stood back and appreciated such beauty in a game since Skyrim. Cheers

An emotionally riveting game, some might not appreciate that it could be considered a walking sim but the stories of each character are so immersive you can't help yourself but want to 100% the game.

This is such an incredible story. I've played a lot of games in my 30 years of gaming. And this is now very dear to my heart. It's an artistic masterpiece. I suggest going in blind. Don't read any reviews or watch any videos. Just let the experience speak for itself. You're in for a ride. Wish I could play it again for the first time. These types of things don't come around very often.

The people who made this game are incredibly talented and poured their souls into it. One of the best games I've ever had the privilege of playing.

Thank you so much. I learned a lot from this. <3

Even if you don't find the story captivating. The game makes it VERY MEMORABLE. The way some sections like Barbara, Gregory, Lewis play out are straight up phenomenal. Hearing the halloween theme is also a cherry on top lol.
Although the game is short but you can't make this game 10 hours without breaking the atmosphere.
Just make sure to look around. The finch house is a nice place to look at.

This game is an absolute experience of a video game start to finish, and such a creative way to tell a story. I won't say anymore as it's best you go in blind, but if you want an emotional ride that will truly make you feel something and have a couple hours to play it then I'd recommend playing it all in one sitting.

I don't have a lot of words for this game.... It made me FEEL, and there really isn't a good way to describe how it made me feel. It wasn't long but it felt like I spent a lifetime with the finch family, please give this a play you won't regret how valuable this game is. I don't think my words could ever describe it but it punched really deep for me.

thank you

A great story-driven game with a very eerie sound setting. You play as the character who is out there to find answers regarding her lost family members.
Great sound design, especially those eerie cracking sounds from the wooden floor and winds gushing against your windows. Beautiful game nonetheless.

Unbelievable storytelling in the most compelling and captivating way possible. This game is worth it if you want to learn a little something about reality and the road everyone travels on.

This was such a gorgeous game! It was so interesting just to vibe with this messed up family while secrets are uncovered. There's so many ways you can interpret the story and for that I love it! 100% recommend
