Short adventure game with interesting narrative. Would have rated higher, but a lot of the tragedies in the story were due to the characters being dumb.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of short stories about a cursed family in Washington State.
Each story offers a chance to experience the life of a different family member with stories ranging from the early 1900s to the present day. The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the family members themselves. The only constants are that each is played from a first-person perspective and that each story ends with that family member's death. It's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us.
You'll follow Edith Finch as she explores the history of her family and tries to figure out why she's the last Finch left alive.

When I initially completed this game, I would have rated it lower since walking sims don't have enough decision making for my taste. However, the game stuck with me. All the pieces of the story were so different and imaginative. It was a really intriguing story. The game gets a bump for creativity.

GOD it took me a while to get into this one but now I'm there, I'm finally seeing the hype.

I went into this game blind. It had been recommended to me years ago, but I was wary about how horror-esque it would be. I never wanted to look it up to avoid spoilers, and finally thought I may as well try it since I have played through more spooky ones last year.

I enjoyed this alot. It was neat to see this cool house as well as learn of the family history. definitely worth a play through for anyone as it doesn't take a lot of time but it's interesting.

Una belleza de juego. Tras haberle echado dos partidas, debo decir que la experiencia es fabulosa. Quizá las mecánicas sepan menos pulidas de lo que podrían, pero la obra es perfectamente funcional y juega con muchos elementos realmente innovadores. El foco de atención está puesto en una historia o, más bien, una serie de historias narradas con gracia, gusto y …
Una belleza de juego. Tras haberle echado dos partidas, debo decir que la experiencia es fabulosa. Quizá las mecánicas sepan menos pulidas de lo que podrían, pero la obra es perfectamente funcional y juega con muchos elementos realmente innovadores. El foco de atención está puesto en una historia o, más bien, una serie de historias narradas con gracia, gusto y sensibilidad. Hacia el final, es más fácil mirar atrás y adorar el viaje antes que recuperarte del impacto emocional de su historia.
8/10.

The first part is about about the genres the game belongs to (magic realism, 'walking sim'), the plot and seeing death as something 'beautiful'. Part two is about the themes of the game (mostly grief), the meaning of life as something that is going to end someday and environmental narrative.

I wrote an 'in depth' analysis of this game.
You can read the first part (in spanish) right now in GamerFocus. I talk about magical realism, walking sims and how death can be something 'beautiful'
