[@ameliziou4776]

Fandom concensus is that Grandma was so obsessed with death she forgot how to let her children live. Whether that makes her a murderer or not, that's individual interpretation. Personally, I think she caused/allowed a few deaths (Molly, Barbara, Calvin, Milton, herself), but I don't think there was a curse. Death catches everyone eventually. Theirs just happened to be... out of the ordinary Edit: confused the name of the twins, my bad team

[@Razzberry_dollz]

She definitely killed Molly She locked her in her room without dinner that’s legit abuse and it definitely was not a one time thing

[@cakeisthebestintheworld]

It's less "out of the ordinary" and more negligence. A lot of deaths could have been avoided if someone was looking out for them mentally and physically.

[@ameliziou4776]

@@cakeisthebestintheworld yeah, i know, i just meant it in the more "outlandish" way. Like, sure, Sam could've broken his neck by falling off the swing, but it was "outlandish" in the sense of he got shot out and actually flew before violently being smeared against the cliff side. Thats what I mean with "out of the ordinary"

[@Scottthespy13]

I kind of think of it as both. One of the defining characteristics of 'curses' as they exist in reality is that they only work if you believe in them. They're self-fulfilling prophesies, where we have this negative outlook on our minds at all time and either attribute every bad luck and mistake to the curse or we actively cause bad things to happen out of fear, anger, and apathy. In the case of this game, I think the 'family curse' was an over-reliance on stories to help them through hard times. They got so used to sensationalizing and glamorizing the deaths of the people around them that they stopped seeing it as negative, as a thing to be actively avoided. It made them careless. We see so many injuries and reckless decisions...putting a swing at the edge of a cliff, leaving the baby alone in the bath, climbing around the roof of a crumbling house while 22 weeks pregnant. The whole family is so convinced of the 'curse' they don't bother to act safely, so convinced they'll die anyway. The one guy who *did* try to be safe lasted right up until the day he decided to throw caution to the wind. They all believed death was coming for them and those around them, so they acted in ways that made it happen. The family *was* cursed, by their own recklessness and inability to face harsh truths.

[@Razzberry_dollz]

@@Scottthespy13 Barbra didn’t really do anything from what we saw I feel like if she wasn’t murdered she could been one of the few to not fall to the family curse

[@MalfunctioningEmi]

The fact that the only death Edith herself witnessed was her mothers, is why theres no fantastical element to it. Same for grandma edies, she was old so Edith would have been told it was "old age" but then because nobody ever told Edith the truth, having to put the peices together left room for imagination, wish fulfilment and some light hearted tragedy. She never met most of them, only knew great grandma edie, her parents and her brothers. I still don't know if she ever even got to meet her child before dying. It's also interesting that Dawn didn't change her name or her childrens names to Sanjays, they were all finches to the end.

[@GenderedMess]

I feel like she didn't get to see her child, when looking at her grave she didn't make it past 17 years old (a month from 18). So maybe she died during childbirth.

[@cscheshire7959]

There's actually a theory that Edie's death was caused by a negative reaction from drinking alcohol despite being on medication that forbids it. That it was either self-inflicted because she never wanted to leave her home, no matter what happened, or that it was an accident of carelessness.

[@lexmcdaniel926]

It’s a general thing that Edith Jr. died during childbirth. It shows that she didn’t make it past 17 and she was already close to giving birth to her child

[@Fir_on_pawz]

Yeah that's what I got from it.

It's like Grandma Edie embraced the Deaths and the Curses, while Ediths mother tried to get away from it all, tired of all of the deaths and Edie celebrating it all. The story Edith read getting cut off too soon, as well, parallels Edies death being cut off, unseen, and interrupted. Something Edith never got to see. Edie kept making more and more graves, memorializing people before they even died. Ediths mother didn't want to dwell on the past, so much so she tried to hide it all away. Sealing the doors, never telling any of the stories. They were two different extremes. Two different ends. I like to think, whatever may have been happening to such a large family.. It ended with Edith, who, rather than hide from the past, or grasp onto the past too hard- She embraced the stories as they were. Stories. And embraced that her family got to live at all. She took it in healthily and was able to write it all down in a way that her child could get to see. It's tragic she passed, but she was able to give that knowledge to her child, who could take it in and not be stuck in a past, or hiding from it at all. She did for the kid, what she wanted done for her. Laying it all out. And so, with her death, was the end of a cycle.

At least some characters got a "peaceful" death i.e they weren't fully aware what was going to happen or they had completely expected it, but Gus probably had enough time to recognise he was going to die, be terrified, and also know that no one was coming to help as they probably hear him if he tried to call out for help.

you know whenever I was about 8 or 9 I used to watch this one KZbinr called like messyourself but he played this game and I had fallen asleep while he was playing it and I woke up during one of the scenes and I was terrified for whatever reason and I had convinced myself for like literal years that this a guy playing the game was just me dreaming and then me and my friend stumbled upon this video by kwite and literally the memories came flooding back bro thank u for helping me find this game again

Living with my baby cousin made the Georgy one hit so much harder, the music choice and everything lord it’s so sad

[@Rea_sull]

This is my sister’s favorite game, I can’t blame her, it’s such a beautiful story.

[@peppermintspider]

At first I thought I missed this stream but then I realized they actually just streamed this like forever ago

[@SleepyFolkTbh]

I remember watching Matpat's game theories about the game and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

[@lilli4222]

HOLD UP- MAPAT HAS THEORIES ABOUT THE GAME?!?!?!? F YEA!!!

[@endaeye]

The guy that said “womp womp” during Lewis’s sections ending was on his villain arc

[@radiantRoadkill]

Watching this right after a loss was very gut-wrenching yet comforting to sit through :]

[@ThatRyeMcFly]

A game I don’t think anyone came out without crying their eyes out was “That Dragon Cancer” If you ever play it. Bring several napkins.

[@ashtonmorton3002]

First time I've cried in months, I genuinely wasn't expecting it to hit so close to home

[@flamefoodfoo8902]

It’s a beautiful game. I played it with my parents, and it was amazing.

Gregory and Lewis’ deaths always f*ck me up the most.. This game is SO good but SO heart-wrenching.

As someone whos always been struggling with mental health and currently going through psychosis some of these stories hit rlly hard man-

He definitely didn’t walk off he put his head into the fish chopper he got into the cover belt

I CRIED A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE OF THIS, MIGHT AS WELL CRY AGAIN.

YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE KZbinRS I WATCH TO PLAY THISSS THANK YOU KWITE!💚💚💚

[@stephenking3472]

Spoiler/question!!! I thought walter was on an abandoned train track, only just realized the rumbling was a train passing overhead, and it was delayed that day, but i thought it was an abandoned railway, as it would likely need to have been repaired after 30 years, or 10. I'm confused so as to why maintenance didnt question the small vault door on the railway.

[@weirdcakes304]

There’s an interpretation that since the train tracks are very close to the cliff side, Walter fell off the cliff and drowned to death. His childhood bedroom does have a lot of ocean imagery, after all.

[@一二0]

I would love to answer your question but unfortunately I’m not part of the maintenance crew

[@stephenking3472]

@@weirdcakes304 Yes i agree with that, the grave does show him on a cliff, but why hide that cliffside in a forest (in the flashback), she was relatively direct with the other kids just dying, so why would Walter have a completely opposing death, I feel like him dying before he saw the sea would hurt more, so its a coin-toss for sure.

[@weirdcakes304]

@@stephenking3472 Well a lot of the deaths in this game stretch the truth to where it’s hard to tell if what happened was real or not. Saying as Edie is obsessed with stories, I think she would prefer one with a more tragic end. Like how it’s more likely Barbra got killed by her boyfriend, yet Edie kept the story where she got devoured by monsters. You said I’d be more sad if Walter never got to look at the sea again, so maybe the story with him getting hit by a train would be more appealing to her. But thats just my personal interpretation, honestly I still don’t know where I stand on how he died.

[@AudacioresPuella]

There wasn't a door he physically dug a tunnel and that day he decided to leave the tunnel he was digging broke into the preexisting train tunnel

[@vizzzyy190]

i adore this game, its stuck with me ever since i first saw it played years ago. glad to see you play it kwite!!

[@filipemartinho1753]

She got better for a while... until she didn't is a fucking shotgun blast of a line, my poor heart can't handle this game 😭

[@plasticbottle4270]

Its kinda funny how through the years I always find different youtubers playing this game and I always watch the videos, and as I have gotten older along the game I understand more and more from it. I wanted to write my BA on art games, and Edith Finch actually might be a really good case study of using mechanics in story telling. Heh, I might get my mom to play it, beacuse I already know the plot, but she doesn't.

[@trubi22]

Chat failing the vibe check the whole video you love to see it

[@lindseymick3843]

This game is so beautiful, I'm a little surprised you went with this one given your usual content but I'm glad to see you expand your gaming and youtube horizons, can't wait to see what else you come out with!

[@cosmic-courtroom]

jesus christ. okay so it hits more now that. i am an adult. and when i was younger i watched either mark or sean play this and. didn’t really understand what was happening. but now that i have lived experiences and more shit has happened. i can understand this. and it hits MORE. that i am a feb 14th birthday. like edith. and have a mother who is currently going through medical issues of getting worse & better and cycling through it

[@waspsforeyes5662]

I will never emotionally recover from this game

[@madforgames1789]

39:05 watching this during class even though I already played it i still love revisiting it. The problem is I know what happens and I’m so close to breaking down in class

[@mikeylikesit525]

this game makes me cry. every. single. time. no matter who's playing, what they say, anything. i cry. every time.

On the work bench at the beginning of the game there one of those peep hole boards. The boards are only used for the people who have died. Weird how there is an extra just laying around

This game is so sad. I've played it not long ago and it made me cry so hard.

[@MonkieKatt]

the deaths were always so sad but so interesting how they had us go through it- i love this game- listening to all the stories were so emotional and fascinating, like lewis was one that always kinda got me thinking more, i love the details of his world coming more and more and how it gets harder to focus/see on his work to the player...a lot if not all make it more obvious that it was not a curse, but its still so interesting to me

[@goblinslayer310]

man what the fuck me being currently lost in videogames because the real world sucks connects to me in a real way I always connect so heavily with some in game characters (and refuse to play games where i cant connect to the MC) and then I am incredibly attached all the deaths were pulling my strings but the final death did me dirty and just ripped them apart im still feeling COLD on the inside, shortness of breath, on the verge of tears and unsure what to do now, as if I was that person and now I'm in someone else's body

[@M4GG0TSINMYBRAIN]

never going on my swingset again

[@sadboiinasweater6104]

I first learned of this game from a review. The reviewer had the takeaway that the "curse" is a nonexistent scapegoat for accidents and poor parenting decisions and overall death.

[@eextence]

Holy shit lewis’s story is extremely relatable and I’m not sure how to feel about it. All creation at my fingertips and yet, I open my bedroom door and suddenly i’m just, this.
