What Remains of Edith Finch is the second and most recent game from California-based indie studio Giant Sparrow, which also developed 2012’s The Unfinished Swan.
It’s a single-player narrative adventure game consisting of a collection of short stories about a cursed family in Washington State.
Played from a first-person perspective, it sees players explore the history of Finch’s family as she attempts to figure out why she’s the last Finch left alive.
The game is notorious for its extremely dark subject matter, in which players relive the deaths of the Finch family members, including some children (albeit in an artistic, abstract way).
What Remains of Edith Finch won a string of high-profile awards including BAFTA’s Best Game 2018, and Best Narrative at both the 2018 Game Developers Choice Awards andThe Game Awards2017.
