What Remains of Edith Finch is a short and sweet title that tells the tales of a cursed family and the misfortunes of everyone involved. The player controls Edith, the last surviving Finch family member, as she reminisces about her past while exploring her family’s abandoned house. There are secret passages left and right, and Edith must snake through the tunnels to uncover the mysteries found within. The game integrates its unique controls into the exploration by using intuitive movements with the control sticks to turn handles, open windows, and unlock gates. In the end, it has a confusing message that isn’t too deep, but it leads to a satisfying, albeit sad, ending that ties together the whole experience nicely.
