What Remains Of Edith Finch - Full Game Walkthrough Gameplay & Ending (No Commentary Longplay)

[@catherinecao4810]

I don’t think there ever was a “curse”, just a long line of recklessness and negligence.

[@LucyAdroit]

That right there IS their curse, since they KEPT IT UP

[@agenthurricane4839]

And that negligence was encouraged and explained away by the “curse,” thereby making it real. It’s like a weird circle.

[@wanderingspaceman16]

Edie is the curse for saying that there is a curse for fame

The shark being out of the water is actually Molly not being able to breathe, due to choking on her own vomit, you can tell because in the earlier scene she almost chokes on the "rabbit."

[@leniviypelmen1215]

Damn, I’m sitting here crying over Gregory’s death. Not just because he is a baby, but mostly because of Sam’s letter. He regretted so much about his son, and tried to cheer up his ex wife, saying that it’s not her fault. It hit me very hard, ohhhh. Walter’s one is so great to. He tried to escape the curse, living most of his life with the same schedule. But in the end he accepted it. Not just like most of his family: they’ve died mostly accidentally. He walked outside and was fully ready for his death, he was not trying to run away again. I’m pretty sure he was smiling when the train was going to him. Lewis’s story is so touching. He would become the better man in his fantasies, rather than try to change his pitiful, boring life. I really relate to this one, I escape my problems wandering in a fictional world too. And Edith and Edie, thank you for this wonderful and tragical story about your family. I wish I could see you again. I cried a lot.

I really appreciate this person's play style, taking time and making sure they didn't miss anything. I saw another video where they missed a lot of stuff, but when this player unlocked the door before going into Barbara's room I could tell they know what they're doing.

[@seelistenlearnm7859]

I must be crazy because all I'm thinking is how much I would love a house that looked like that.

[@LisaSimpson2]

You're definitely not crazy my friend. I have fell in LOVE with this house since playing this game. I'm dying to know if there are any like it in real life. If anyone knows of any please let me know and lets discuss some. The characters, memories and stories are incredible in this game but the house is just wow! It's the stuff dream are made of! Like a childs imagination come true. It's like going back to childhood when you still believed in magic and hope and that any thing was possible! This house is just so magical and special and the game is an absolute masterpiece (just wished it would never end though!). All those secret passageways and hidden rooms too omg it's just incredibly well done! All of it!

[@samf6464]

+LisaSimpson2 I also loved this house! It was probably my favorite thing about this game. The secret passages, Sam and Calvin's room, the door blocking the 3rd floor, and everything above the 2nd floor were soooooooooo cool! It even seems like the basement went down as far as the house went up.

[@wtfisthatnick]

You're damn right but when i get upper into the rooms above the roof first my thought was: How they brought this all stuff up there like heavy fridge and beds and how all that not collapse?

[@CeramicQuill]

[@abandonedmuse]

No way it’s amazing. But holy shit what a pain in the ass to walk all that to get to the front door.

[@sleepless2229]

Here’s some help to understand the deaths a bit: SPOILER ALERT Odin: Died from ocean Molly: She ate berries from the holly and a tube of toothpaste. That itself caused her hallucinations and death. Calvin: he wanted to escape his current life, so he thought he could go into outer space and leave by flying off the swing set. We both know what happened then. Barbara: She spent too much time practicing on her scream, she didn’t pay attention to the radio which talked about thugs and gang members on the loose. They broke into her home and killed her. Walter: After Barbara (his sister) died, he hid for 30 years under the house and left after he got tired of waiting. He walked along the train tracks that led to his house and a train hit him. Sam: He grew up after Calvin died and had Dawn (Edith’s mother). While she was young, they went hiking(or something) and killed a deer. Or at least he thought he did, because when he went to take a photo, the deer knocked him off the cliff. Gregory: Kay left the water running and the plug in. He drowned in the bathtub. (He is Sam’s son). Gus: He didn’t listen and stayed while the tornado/hurricane/whatever it was, was happening. All those items hit him and killed him. Milton: His overactive imagination caused him to disappear from the house and never come back. We don’t know what happened to him. Lewis: HIS overactive imagination caused HIM to bow down thinking he was being crowned, but the blade that cuts fish’s heads ended up cutting HIS head. Edie: We don’t know what happened to Edie. But I think she died from old age. Dawn: We don’t know what happened to Dawn. But I think she died from a disease, Cancer, Seizures, etc. Edith: She died while giving birth to her son, You.

[@milkobeni2093]

this was so helpful thanks

[@Pani03]

Bless, tho I think Edie died from mixing alcohol and her meds. In the table scene near the end Dawn mentioned how Edie couldn’t have alcohol due to her meds being specific. I think when Dawn said they were leaving the next day, Edie decided to off herself instead of going. I wish I could say I figured this out myself, but I saw a comment higher up that mentioned it.

[@SA-wz9wu]

Milton survived. He has his own game called The Unfinished Swan where we find out he had a son.

[@minnieisalilsilly]

[@sulaimandaud6769]

@@minnieisalilsilly Kay is Sam's wife and the mother of Dawn, Gus and Gregory. She divorced Sam, possibly before Gregory drowned. Sam remarried, and at his second wedding, Gus felt neglected and remained outside during a storm, which led to his death.

[@definitelynotathena]

lewis hit really close to home. wishing to live in a fantasy world. i can definitely relate to that.

[@LlorDrei]

Even though he was born five years after Molly died, Walter's room's walls were painted in an undersea motif, with a shark in the corner swimming towards Molly's room, representative of how Molly recorded herself from her dream, and always visible from the foot of Walter's bed. The book "Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", hiding the lever to get into Molly's room, is known to feature a giant squid, or kraken, which is, again, reminiscent of the tentacle shown in Molly's dream which showed her in a monster's form, only the tentacle visible, suggesting she imagined her monster form was that of a giant squid. And, under where the head of Walter's bed had been, on the carpet beneath, was added a long, blue, creepy tentacle, with branches snaking off of it, both suggestive of the monster under Molly's bed, waiting for her to fall asleep to eat her, now being under his own, as well as of the Finch family tree, a wall painting behind the side of his bed showing the old, sunken house, and behind the head, near the floor, a wall painting of a sunken wooden board reading "Finches", with finches painted atop it, showing what the fate of the Finches would be with the "Curse" . Walter was surrounded by the last horrific vision Molly had, and the vision of the "Finch Curse", his entire life, even if only subconsciously in his mind, and when he had to hide under his bed, he had to lay right on top of the monster's tentacle the entire time, between the dead, sunken house, and the sunken family name, and if he looked up from the foot of the bed, his eyes would rest on the mouth of the shark.

I genuinely do not know how to feel after watching this interactive gameplay. This story is so beautiful and there are so many elements to it. I love how every story was unique, and that the build up to the deaths was so different. It kept me intrigued. With people like Lewis and Gregory, you knew what was coming minutes before it occurred. With Walter, you didn't know until you saw the train tracks. With those like Molly, you weren't entirely sure until it was stated. And then with Edith and Edie, you can only speculate. Really interested into looking into theories about this story! I have never been so intrigued by something.

Beautiful story. Seems as though life can be unpredictable. The mom was busy trying to control life but instead, her same fears came to be true. Meanwhile the grandma knows that is it what it is lol so she wanted to document it all because she saw life as a work of art. Very nice. I'm okay with believing this hehe Poor granny hope her life ended beautifully the way she would have liked it to.

@@afif5496 Well, she didn't MEAN for Molly to die. She just wanted to punish Molly for something wrong she did so she sent her to her room without dinner. Molly was only a child and didn't know that eating random berries could kill her. She was probably just worried about the curse because she felt responsible for her children's deaths and didn't want the rest of her family to suffer the same fate. I don't think she was a bad person. Misguided maybe, but not psychotic.

[@monniemai1592]

@@afif5496 I think... maybe she DID want the curse to be true. Maybe she thought that a curse could explain why so many bad things happened to her family. I don't think she planned for anything to work out the way it did, she didn't plan for Calvin to try and fly or for Milton to leave. That's why I think she built the shrines, she wanted to pay tribute to the family history because she loved them all so much. Believing in the curse made her feel better about it all, fantasising with stories made her feel happy again after everything that happened. I mean... She could have said that Sven died from an accident building a dragon slide. She could have said the truth. But the truth hurt. So she didn't.

[@aaronboals2386]

I couldn't get over the graphics and all the neat little physics elements. The moment she said maybe she wasn't the only one left I knew she was pregnant and would die giving birth...at least that was where I thought it was going. I wish it had a proper ending and not just another the whole game was a metaphor for living life to the fullest. Mollys story makes no sense because either a) she was writing down a dream she had in which case it doesn't tell you how she died or b)she did actually wake up and eat poisonous berries that made her trip as she was dying basically...in which case she wouldn't have been able to write anything down. There are tons of fantastic things about the storytelling and the overall presentation...showing off what our current game engines are capable of. Any small criticism I have doesn't compare to how amazing that whole experience was. edit:grammar

[@LucyAdroit]

Eating the berries made Molly hallucinate. Eating the toothpaste is what slowly killed her.

[@juannaym8488]

Somehow, Walter's story is the most tragic for me. He was so traumatized by the death of his older sister that he hid for decades in the basement, living day in, day out the exact same, until he decided to leave his basement when he was in his fifties, getting immediately killed by a train Everyone else either didn't suffer for long or had some good times in their life. Walter's life were decades of monotony and solitude, followed by death when he wanted to escape the monotony

[@helplessnarwhal3722]

I don’t know how he could have been killed by a train though! We saw that the tracks lead into the ocean, and Walter really lived in that basement, so what happened!

[@xXSindella666Xx]

@@helplessnarwhal3722 I feel like the tracks were demolished/abandoned after his death. You see his memorial by the tracks. No one would have been able to get to that safely without fearing meeting the same fate as him. So, more than likely for the sake of keeping the rest of the family alive, they abandoned the tracks. Only reason I believe this theory is because the way the ends of the tracks are broken off/bent. Just a theory though, I'm not sure myself.

@@tudangvu my point exactly

[@Mathee]

This is just my personal opinion, but I think the curse is true and that there is something supernatural tied to the Finch family. Specificially, I think it's tied to imagination. The two things that make me most think is Milton's disappearance and Gregory's death. According to the game developers, Milton's disappearance relates to another game the studio has made, in a way that seems to hint at Milton still being alive, but in another world, meaning that the magic brush in his flipbook is real. In Gregory's death, the plug had been pulled and I don't think Gregory would have been able to reach the faucet to the bathtub. I think the Finch family is blessed with an amazing imagination that's doomed to turn against them, and that if they believe something hard enough, it becomes reality, at least to them. In that way, you can say that the curse only exists because the Finch family believes it, but it also extends to all the other fantastical things we see happening to the family members

[@luckyloomagu]

Or perhaps barbera was actually supposed to have a pleasant surprise by the monstercon people who heard she couldn't go, but hearing all the news about homicidal maniacs turned them into just that

[@avengail]

I think Lewis' death impacted me the most. Not only was it a little grim, but I kind of relate to him. I have a huge imagination myself, and often build this whole world for myself to go to when I need an escape. It kinda scared me actually; if i'm not careful and stay too absorbed in my wild imagination, that could distract me from the real world and I could end up hurting myself, physically or mentally. Speaking of being absorbed, i was fully absorbed by this story... I feel like now that I've finished the game I don't know what to do with myself anymore lol.

She died of freezing, starving, and sick. Calvin: Swing + Cliff = Death Barbara: Killed by a group of Halloween Murders. Walter: Death by Train Sam: Buck knocked him off a cliff. Gregory: Drowned in a bathtub. Gus: Killed by storm Dawn: Illness Milton: Disappeared Lewis: Suicide Edith: Child Birth

[@Kyla-Thomas]

If anyone is watching this because they are stuck I’ll list things he’s missed for you (This isn’t meant to be offensive Took me multiple gameplays to catch everything). ****This does not include achievements**** 1. When Edith mentions peepholes being drilled into the bedroom doors. It’s telling you you can get sneakpeaks of rooms b4 you’re in them. Says a hint again when she’s in Molly’s bedroom and explaining she only looked at it through them. - Calvin/Sam - Edie/Sven - Barbara - Molly - Library 2. Odin’s portrait on the wall 3. After going into the crawl space from Walter’s room there is a black painting on the wall made by milton. Will explain how he’s been missing and that before he disappeared he found all of these secrets first. 4. Molly’s Room - Before you interact with her shrine move closer to the wall painting something should pop up. (just make sure to survey each room closely b4 interacting with the shrine/memorial of each person) - [As Molly] Before eating all 3 things interact with bedroom door knob, Halloween pumpkin candy basket, and fish bowl. 5. Can’t remember any specifics but I feel maybe look around more in pink bathroom and developing room crawl space. 6. Go all the way up stairs on sams side of the room?? 7. Look around more in Barbara’s room Edith talks about what the aftermath of being a child star must of been like for Barbara

In the end, all of their deaths are their own damn fault for being so reckless. Leaving your daughter hungry for the night, hanging a swing at the edge of a cliff, not checking if the deer is dead, leaving your baby alone in the bathtub, smashing a hole through the wall and walking on train tracks instead of using the door, and Grandma Edie constantly telling people all these extravagant stories over and over to the point where Lewis thought he wasn't special as a person and committed suicide! Edie herself dies to alcohol poisoning, mixing alcohol with her meds, and Edith dies in childbirth, pregnant at 17! What a mess of a family; "Family curse" my ass.

[@ivanbolsunovskii1844]

You're damn right man, damn right...

[@Windsguidance]

Thank goodness someone who agrees with me The only exception was Barbara

[@emalee2027]

you are so right

[@mmagic8197]

Cordan Philo, The family curse is a device in the story but not one of legitimacy. The "curse" was a coping mechanism gone wrong in a sense. Death had taken it's toll on the Finches before and to deal with it they created this curse to blame everything on which ended up becoming real in their minds prompting Odin to move the house once his wife and newborn died. It was great grandma Edie, who took it too far by taking this series of events and turning it into a publicity stunt, and twisting the stories into tales of grandeur when, as stated by DemonLordHatty here, the deaths were the fault of the families careless behaviour. The only death with a supernatural cause was Milton who according to the creators disappeared as the flip book shows because he was transported into the universe of "The Unfinished Swan", another game that they made, as the King. Every other death in the game came from neglect and reckless actions which were then justified by the "curse on the family" by Edie who simply loved all the attention it drew. So in a way your both right. The main story is one of Family, Tragedy, Fate and Legacy, but the deeper story is a tale of caution to all that if you believe to much in a myth it will become real and it will comeback to haunt you until like Edith's mother Dawn, you wise up and face reality. After all even Bible a book of faith tells Christian to be wise in all they do or they will become easy to manipulate and followers of foolish and greedy men. Here a link to a video that explains this far better than me if you have the time (then again you probably do if you made it this far) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOwn2d5pN6Ioa8 sorry if your not a christian but it felt right to add than in as you wouldn't believe how many christians fall into that same trap. Thanks for reading

[@banzyyy7155]

how is it "not one of legitimacy?" that literally makes no sense. It's so obvious that the game is designed toward themes of families and their legacies. What you have done is not any sort of actual analysis, you've neglected the structure of the story to do some game theory ass bullshit. Sure, your theory is plausible. But it's absolutely irrelevant to why the creators made the game. You're paying too much attention to the wrong areas

Possible spoilers I like how all these people are like, "There was no curse! That one guy was just randomly, inexplicably, and magically transported to another dimension! Everything else was totally normal and avoidable!" Ummm, that's how curses work, people. Something that SEEMS avoidable... isn't, and then you're dead. Personally I think that's why we are stopped from seeing Edie's story, so that people will argue about whether it was a curse or just mental illness. There's enough evidence for both, and it could even be both. But one story of definite magical interaction and Edie having an experience that for her confirmed that the curse was in fact a curse, but we're blocked from seeing means that there is the definite possibility that it is a curse. After all, even leaving didn't save the last 2 that died. The curse was supposed to kill them and they ended up dead before their time. Curse? No curse? There's no clear cut proof in the game for either. Which makes me glad I watched it for free on KZbin rather than paying for and spending hours playing a game to find out. If I'd paid for this I'd have been pissed.

Lewis’s story was the one that hit the hardest for me

[@deenanthekemoni5567]

This game took me 4 hours to complete because I played it the waynit was intended.. I see so many reviewers/players claiming it doesnt even take 2 hours, and that's because it wasn't Meant to be Blindly ran through. Take your time there's lots to see and discover.

[@Diebold410]

8 minutes in all i can think is how beautiful the house and property is

[@Diebold410]

At the end of this All I can say is wow What an amazing story and such a beautiful game I love that this is an interactive experience more than it is a “game” The concept is also very touching and original Amazing all around

[@mrx4022]

In the end, all that remains of Edith Finch, is her son..

[@talkingtoast1200]

I thought it was disgraceful that you didn't engage with the fish chopping unless forced. The whole point of it was to be difficult to try and manage the two tasks at the same time, which became progressively more complex as the daydream took up more of the screen. The narrator literally said that Lewis was a model employee as you stared at like 3 fish that had been sitting there for like 3 minutes. Although once you began chopping the fish heads it became clear that it was not you willfully ignoring the game mechanic but that the task was too complex itself, showing you stopping and walking into walls the moment you needed an ounce of brain capacity to pick up the fish. Otherwise good play through.

[@legitassassin8988]

It's not complex I did both at the same time lol IDK how this guy couldn't manage that all you needed was 2 thumbs

I played this game a long time ago with my father in the room, he would tear up while watching me play. This is an oddly similar game experience to what my dad had an experienced in real life, most of his family had passed away. This game is amazing and it brings back so many memories, I’m glad other people can experience it too

[@grayann1321]

it’s so sad at the end, the poor kid has no one. i’m crying so hard:(

[@indigowendigo8165]

I want to live in this house too. :( It's really pretty. :) Lots of books, paintings, and other stuff to look at, and it's really big... A lot of dreams have to do with exploring stuff, including houses. ^^;

I can't be the only one being frustrated at the fish station game where they just stopped chopping the heads of the fish and only focused on the game...the point is to do both at once

[@Joe-hc7ud]

i was questioning ediths death and then i realised she was pregnant and died giving birth

[@gewolfe9414]

How is it possible that Odin Finch has the same last name as his married daughter? Is it possible that was a developer oversight? Or is the family curse inbreeding because Sven was also a Finch and he and Edith were related . . . ?? Lol

[@LucyAdroit]

I think you forgot that Edie is the blood Finch, not Sven. Sven took Edie's last name.

It 4 am and I’m not even allow to be up right now but I got so invested in this video I don’t I think I’ve ever cried so hard and the ending especially with Gregory as well it just hit a little personal I don’t know. I can’t even tell what I’m saying because my eyes are blurry from all the tears thank lord and thank you for this gift we call life

[@mladen277]

This would be a great movie. Great job by people who created this game and story. ☺

[@TheWildWatchers7-Cali]

I feel that the hidden meaning of this game makes you put your shoes in their situations if you knew that life would take you horribly and tragically.... but you realize that you die either way you can live like the grandmother and die dwelling in the past of die like the mother trying to restrict yourself of a regular life..... we will all die one day and it is never known what age what time and what day.... what matters is what you make of it in the time that you know you have

You play without music for most (or all?) of this, the music is part of what makes this game such an experience....

[@nikolasines]

... and it's probably copyrighted.

[@darryledwards4453]

Did you not pay for the game? It's just a composed score which is part of the game. Maybe I am being ignorant but I figured it would be fine to have the music if it is part the game play you are showing. All the other walkthroughs I have seen have the music.

[@LucyAdroit]

[@mrs.alucard6669]

This is utterly stupendous! I have had family members pass away and - I'm being honest, here - to tell you the truth I would likely do something like this if I had the time and budget. But this game is so much more than that. This would make a fantastic novel.

One thing you'll notice... Even though it was obviously his favorite toy, the frog isn't in Gregory's crib shrine. This leads me to believe that when the water was removed from the tub, the frog toy went down the drain, never to be seen again, as with the obvious architectural and plumbing expertise of the family, in the building of the house, if they could have retrieved it for the shrine, they would have. It is due to this, that I believe the sequence was shown of the baby's soul transposing to the toy frog, to swim around until welcomed by the other toys to swim into the light, down into the tub's drain. If it had been found, it would likely have rested on the lily pad design on the sheet, which is noticeably bare, in retrospect.

[@midori8466]

Isn't there a frog on the counter of the pink bathroom that Sam's first wife left? Kay? That could be the frog.

Wait if.... Edith died in 2017 from child birth but it shows. Chris(Edith's son) as at least a early teen. So if we assume Chris is at least 13 years old than the game is set in a future 2030's.

Thanks for sharing! Big issue with the bathtub scene, the music is missing. That really makes that scene. Same with the cannery scene. Really disappointing.

I know it's probably for copyright reasons - but this game just isn't the same without the music.
