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.

This game will forever be my favorite.
From the very first moment it’ll have you hooked, I’ve played it several times and genuinely always cry. The detail and depth to which the story is told is so amazing. I definitely recommend this game to anyone and everyone, especially those who love detail and mystery, the death of Calvin will always be my favorite, though it’s quite short I feel it shows alot more than a kid on a swing. This games shows a bit of inside on mental health and I feel the curse they talk about is mainly about mental illness. This game opens your eyes to a lot more than their family tree, it makes you think about yours, about what generational curses have been passed down to you, what habits and behaviors will you pass down to them, it definitely tugs on your heart if you’ve had a traumatic childhood, or are living in one now. I love this game, and would love a follow up story or sequence to tell about Edith’s son.
To the developers, thank you for sharing this game with the world, it’s done more than you know.❤️

Easy gameplay, but excellent story
Just finished, I know it’s almost 10 years old at this point, but just great story telling that really sucks you in and keeps you there for a few hours!

This Game…
This is one of the best $5 dollar purchases I have ever made.
The story is breathtakingly immersive, and I felt like I was there the entire time. The diversity of the stories was also incredible and very fun and amazing. I loved the soundtrack.
Also, the mobile controls didn’t seem to affect the gameplay at all negatively. This game really benefits from its port.

Amazing
This game is a huge favorite of mine so I’m glad I got to play it myself. It makes me have this feeling of both profound sadness and understanding, and the want to be known that I cannot explain. As a whole this game holds a special place in my heart. While the game did make a beeping noise when clicking (w,a,s,d), after I connected my xbox controller, it didn’t do that anymore. I can say though that it made it hard and annoying to play.

So frustrating
I’m not sure if this game was intended for iPhones, but I found myself continually frustrated with movement. After the snake scene on the boat was restarted three times, I was trapped and could not move. I wasted my $5. 😒

Impossible
It’s impossible to play. The controls are garbage. The hand icon, when it FINALLY appears barely responds. Cant tap or swipe or anything for minutes. Eventually it may respond but not always. Why would the controls be so terrible? The characters are hard to move. Like they just do not respond. If you can stand tapping or swiping or gliding your finger on the screen 700 just to move 4 inches and the repetitive imagery you are rewarded with animal violence and slaughtered screeching rabbits. Oh and there are no instructions or anything about moving around.What a waste of time and energy. But if you really enjoy seeing rabbits ripped apart with a creepy annoying child voice narrating then it’s worth it I guess.

Obsessed
**PLEASE READ TW BEFORE YOU PLAY THIS**
This game was MADE for people with ADHD. the attention to detail is something I’ve never seen before. I started playing this on my PC but the mobile app is way better for seeing details. The story was so addicting (finished this in 2 days). Sheds a small light on mental health.
If you really want to appreciate and love this game do NOT leave a room without looking and all the cool things in there.
This game difficulty level is low. There are somethings that are tough but there are a million context clues.

good game, some problems.
I honestly love this game and definitely recommend it to others, when you reach Sven and Edie’s room and go into the pink bathroom it will crash when your about to go to the next area which is the only problem so far. Overall I think this game is 5/5!

Good game
I honestly love this indie horror genre game. Its a fun game for me I liked how you go to the past and see your dead family members story’s, also how it’s scary bc you feel like there’s something inside the house or something guiding you to death. I’ll be honest I did cry at the end and at Gregory’s story. Great game!

I LOVE THIS GAMEEE
I’ve played this like 10 times and I can’t get bored of it. I play on a iPad that isn’t the oldest but surprisingly the game runs pretty well. I think the other reviews were old so that’s why but this was worth every penny I will glaze this till I die 🙏🙏🙏

Fix for Key Sound
I just wanted to update everyone that if you are playing on Macbook (not sure about Windows) to turn of the sound from pressing the keys You just have to go into settings.
Settings> Sound>Sond Effects> Turn the "Alert Volume" all the way down
This should fix the issue with hearing your key being pressed.

Played it before on a different system
Honestly, I’d rate the game itself 5 stars. The reason I’m rating it three is because it keeps crashing when I’m trying to leave from the pink bathroom into the next section, the game crashes. I’ve seen another review about this issue, so I assume it’s happening to others as well. Once this is fixed, if I’m able, I’ll rate it higher.

Great game spoiled by terrible move system
The game is engrossing but the control system to move around in the game is abysmal. You press and then move your finger to indicate direction to move. Sadly this has two HUGE problems. First, your finger is over the top of the item you are trying to move towards, which is clunky, and second (the killer) many times you cannot move AT ALL until the view lines up just right. Want to walk down a road? Nope, you can’t do that until you fiddle around till the view of the road is just right before you can move .. with no indication if you have found the right view or not. This is so bad it basically ruins the game. Very sad.

Not worth it
I was so excited for this game for so long, I heard glowing reviews for years so when I saw it was on IOS I bought it immediately. I’m so disappointed by how it turned out. The storyline is great but the controls make the game not worth the effort for me. You are constantly fighting with the screen to just
move around. A set joystick like they have in Among us would’ve made the game much more enjoyable. Ide recommend only getting this game on PC.

TRY ON XBOXONE OR PS4 OR A NEWER CONSOLE.
This game is very amazing and good, but its best to play on Xbox or PS4 or any other console. Not iPad. Phone. Or tablet. It will be slow and crash. So try it on a console.!!
5/5 stars❤️!!

Crashes & can’t play
I have a 9th generation iPad which is supposedly compatible but it crashes after opening the book every time. So while the game seems great it’s a total waste of money when I can’t actually play it.

You need to update the game. It keeps crashing at the scene where the little boys on the swing and I can’t play the game.

for all the great reviews, I expected more. Wasn’t the type of game I was expecting. It was very boring and drawn out. Still don’t get the point of the game (if you can even call it a game). To me it was a waste of $5 and time.

Pretty good but one thing
I usually don’t leave reviews but what other people are saying is pretty true. in the pink bathroom after you open the door and climb in when I try looking around it kicks me from the game. I think the game is amazing but you can’t play it if it keeps doing this and it disappointed me. the story sounds amazing but I can’t play the rest of the game. please fix this.

I love this game so much, its amazing. Although I can play it without lag, and it runs smoothly, as soon as Edith enters the secret room in the pink bathroom my game crashes and takes me to the Home Screen. 😢
I hope it’s playable for iPads in the future.

Heart Wrenching Game
I loved this game. It almost brought me to tears a couple of times because it’s so sad. I do however wish they didn’t leave me on a cliffhanger near the end. That sucked. I hope they make another one (probably won’t) but they should. Worth buying. Worth playing. Great designs and amazing story line.

The best game i’ve played mobile
what remains of edith finch is one of the best mobile games running smooth and fast. The game never crashed and had beautiful graphics, if you don’t want to spend 19.99 the 5 dollars are so worth it. Gameplay is not long maybe an 1-2 hours but the storyline is beautiful. Sound quality is beautiful and it never cuts out, the scenery makes it a perfect game. Movement is alittle hard but only in some parts the rest is fairly easy. If you like an easy going game with a beautiful storyline and amazing graphics and gameplay what remains of edith finch is perfect.

Beautiful game but make sure you have an updated and large device. Doesn’t work well on phones.
I first bought this game on my phone which didn’t have the requirements to play the game. I then used my iPad which was much better. This game has such an interesting and beautiful story. I was captivated the whole time.

Horrible
The mechanics of movement are deplorable. I spent long minutes literally stuck in one spot. Just tension and anxiety. The story and scenery could be something wonderful, but it’s so unnavigable. Spend your money elsewhere.

unplayable
pressing a "walking" key like WASD causes a beep like you've pressed a wrong key. Holding the key down causes repeated wrong key beeps, rendering the game completely unplayable.

Glitchy
(I’m playing on iPhone 11 Pro Max)
It’s a bit glitchy and it paused during the scene where I went up in the castle, but other than that amazing game!
**light spoilers**
I wish I would have found out what happened to Edith’s brother, or add something to the story other than her discovering the past, but I enjoyed it. This isn’t really a critique I loved the game!

wonderful game, frame rate isn’t great.
I understand optimization issues and the artistic choice to prioritize a cinematic aesthetic, but in the age of iPad Pro M2, I’m pretty sure you could at least offer the option to push 60 frames. I was expecting the same experience as on PC and i was slightly disappointed in the first 3 seconds of starting the game when it chugged 30. I’m sure —to most people— this is not a huge detraction, but I haven’t played a game at 30 frames for years. I have become accustomed to something a bit smoother; It is more important to me than resolution or fancy effects. That said, I like the controller support and visuals which are, honestly, almost on par with pc. Also, unlike many high fidelity AAA ports, it seems rather stable. kudos.

Very good but it doesn't function on ipad
I use an ipad and i discovered this game and wanted to play, i saw the reviews saying it crashes right after unlocking the book 'there's a secret in this bathroom' i unfortunately ignored these reviews and went ahead and downloaded anyway. Low and behold, it crashes right after the book. I was awful confused because my ipad is the 9th generation and it should function but it didn't. Thankfully my sister has recently gotten a new phone so i got her old phone and connected my apple ID to the phone and was able to download the game for free and my game had saved on my sisters old phone. I was able to continue the game with no interruptions and was overall a great game but i recommend to not download on an ipad, it's almost guaranteed to crash right after the pink bathroom no matter what generation of ipad you have.
