Our Expert Score

95/100

What Remains of Edith Finch is a staggering achievement in narrative design, and its transition to mobile loses none of its haunting beauty. As Edith, you return to your colossal, nonsensical family home to uncover the stories of your relatives, each of whom met a premature and often bizarre end. The game is essentially a collection of short stories, but calling them that feels like an understatement. Every room in the house is a meticulously detailed time capsule, and every flashback introduces a completely new gameplay mechanic—from a comic book slasher sequence to a factory worker’s daydream that manifests as a high-fantasy adventure.

The emotional weight of the game is immense. It explores themes of legacy, grief, and the 'Finch Curse' with a delicate touch that avoids being purely morbid, opting instead for something more magical and surreal. On a mobile device, the intimate nature of the storytelling feels even more personal. The touch controls are intuitive, and the environmental interaction remains fluid. It is quite simply one of the most essential storytelling experiences in the medium of gaming, and the mobile port handles the technical demands of the house’s complex architecture with surprising grace.

Thank you for playing What Remains of Edith Finch!

This version includes key performance improvements and bug fixes.


*ATTENTION* Works with compatible Apple devices below.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state.

As Edith, you’ll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she's the last one in her family left alive. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day.

The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the Finches 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.

Ultimately, it's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us.

Created by Giant Sparrow, the team behind the first-person painting game The Unfinished Swan.

Q&A

While it deals with death and has eerie moments, it is not a traditional horror game; it is a psychological and magical-realist mystery.
