A grandiose game

A curse that struck her entire family pushed Edith Finch to return to her family home in order to understand the mysteries surrounding the deaths of her loved ones.

The story is told to us in a rather poetic way, each chapter reveals the way in which each person in the family died through innovative game mechanics. The game is very deep and highlights themes like the inevitability of death, loneliness, isolation, and so on.

The game's soundtrack is simply sublime. It perfectly accompanies the melancholic atmosphere of the story. The tracks are both moving and immersive and highlight moments of sadness and reflection. The music manages to capture the essence of each individual story perfectly!

This is perhaps the most beautiful short game I have ever finished, I highly recommend it!

(PS: I saw that quite a few players who left a negative opinion on the game believed that it was a game with a lot of interactions while it focuses more on narrative and exploration than on the gameplay elements, he should learn about the game before buying it and pouring his hatred on it).
