Random things I noticed while playing What Remains Of Edith Finch

There was a poster of the cannery that Lewis worked at on the boat.

2. Edith Jr wears what appears to be an engagement on a necklace. Whether this is her ring or her mothers is not mentioned.

3. At the start of the game, Milton's missing posters are EVERYWHERE. There is even a giant pile of them in a nearby lake.

4. The dragon slide that crushed and killed Sven is still outside.

5. As you walk toward the house, the music gets louder.

6. The swing that Calvin flew off decades ago is still looped around the branch.

7. There was a spare peep hole in the garage that didn't have any names or dates on it.

8. At multiple points throughout the game you can hear a train in the background, despite the fact that the train tracks are clearly destroyed.

9. There are multiple pots throughout the Finch house that looks like they have eyes.

10. One of the books the Finches possessed was 'King in Yellow', a book known for making anyone who read it insane.

11. The house sounds alive, or like there are people constantly moving around it.

12. Walters bedroom is painted with both ocean and train designs. One of the paintings is the old house that Odin tried to bring to America.

13. There are drag marks on the ground of Walters bedroom (most likely made when his drawers were taken out of his room.)

14. The entrance to the tunnels is hidden by a book called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a classic sci-fi story about a sea monster.

15. Molly's room is filled entirely with animal books.

16. There is a jelly fish on Molly's bed (possible connection to the monster??).

17. Molly has a chalkboard in her bedroom where she is a princess in an underwater castle and Sven is about to get attacked by a sea monster (slightly resembling the dragon slide).

18. As shark!Molly starts falling down the cliff, she passes a road where headlights are briefly scene.

19. When the monster gets back to Molly's room, the window that cat!Molly jumped through is still open.

20. There are still Christmas decorations in Molly's room.

21. The curse is 500 years old. That is a lot of dead people.

22. In Odin's viewfinder, it states "His [Odin's] daughter, Edie, is already dreaming of new Finch house" showing that even though her own father died not even a week ago, Edie has already moved on.

23. The house is filled head to toe with books about death, including two that Odin wrote.

24. Sven's shrine does not have a log painting like the rest of the family. His portrait is painted on a simple canvas.

25. Edie has a number of strange tapes in her room including one titled "conspiracy now".

26. The toys from Gregory's final bath are still in the bathroom.

27. There is an old bottle of alcohol in the bathroom bin.

28. A lot of Sam's photos are based on Calvin (a swing, astronauts).

29. All of Milton's drawings are based on the death. (Molly = cat, Barbara = pumpkin)

30. There are cigarettes and gin on Sam's side of the room he shared with Calvin.

31. Calvin already had bruises, Band-Aids and a cast on his leg when he died.

32. Sam blames himself for challenging Calvin.

36. There are totem-esc styles statues of both Calvin and Molly

37. Barbara's outfit is over the railing.

This is the same way the Hook-Man falls

38. "Performance of her life" can also mean that it is the performance she is known for.

44. There are times wear it seems like you can hear sobbing (this one may just be me).

45. There is a box of Kay's old stuff in Sam's bedroom.

46. Odin has a park named after him.

47. This isn't a fact but I think this may be one of the funniest photos of the game (LIKE SIR? YOUR DAUGHTER IS SOBBING!).

48. Both Calvin and Dawn are on Sam's shrine.

49. Gus has a skateboard over his name.

50. Gregory has the soap bottle from his final bath in his shrine.

51. The music cuts out when Gregory isn't moving.

52. Same also blames himself for Gregory.

53. Gus never met his step mother.

54. Gus was crushed by the (totem) statues of his deceased relatives.

What Remains of Edith Finch

[frenet1c-amnes1c]

idc walter’s story is one of the saddest in the game

[yetta-yeva]

Spoilers for what remains of Edith finch ahead.

I know this is not really my normal content but being in the WROEF fandom is it just me who thinks the curse does exist but not in the way you think. The curse isn’t some evil thing following the family and killing them it’s just straight generational neglect.

Edie’s father may have neglected her as a kid so she did the same to her kids who (if lived and had some) did it to their kids.

Because most of the deaths could have totally been prevented if it wasn’t for the parents being neglectful.

If Molly wasn’t locked in her room without food were she likely died in her sleep due to the food she ate not acting well in her stomach or a sickness that isn’t mentioned (since it was 1947) and covered up, Calvin being watched better or they got rid of the swing LITERALLY OVER A CLIFF??

Sam is more like just personal neglect since I mean why go near a half dead dear to take a photo over a cliff your own twin brother died from falling almost 22 years ago. I feel like if trusting his daughter or waited for the deer to react since it takes more then one shot to kill something as big as a dear but depends on were you shot it (I mean from the looks of it he haunted a lot so he should know..)

The only ones that may have not been prevented are Barbara and Lewis. I don’t think they can really be saved sadly.

since Barbara was a child star, which if she was actually murdered and not some coverup Edie told me he media so they wouldn’t call her out on her neglect. she would have to not be a child star and that would change her character and story completely HOWEVER if she instead died of maybe falling off the railing because of her own paranoia (I’ll explain in another post) then maybe if she never heard the radio she would still be alive.

For Lewis tho he already had mental health problems. Likely from his dad dying, brother going missing and being told he’s basically doomed for being a finch there’s not much to save. Maybe if he was given a therapist sooner to work these issues out or he went more into detail about his day dreams he would never commit but I don’t really know for sure. Plus Dawn was trying to actually help her kids and break that cycle.

But there are a few characters deaths that could have been prevented by another character surviving

Gus and Gregory I think both depend on each other. Gregory could have been saved if he didn’t have that frog toy (maybe) or taken out of the tub while Kay went to answer the phone, but she also didn’t wanna Gregory to hear her and Sam fighting or talk about the divorce which left him unattended and he drowned. Gus didn’t want a stepmom and since Sam divorced Kay, still wanting his mom. If Gregory were still alive he would likely be forced to take care of him or help Dawn out but Gregory be 6 if he lived so maybe he’d ask to play with Gus and he’d stop flying his kite but I don’t think so since he was rebellious but that’s a maybe. If not then he would be another character that can’t be saved.

Walter also kinda depends on another character to live like Gus and Gregory. Walter kinda depends on Barbara. If he never saw or heard her get murdered (if true) then he wouldn’t think something bad is out there and start locking himself in the basement, if she Fell however he would lead to the same thing or he’d lock himself in the basement/bungler thinking he’s safer because Barbara fell from a high place, he can’t fall there. If Barbara lived he’d never lock himself there and get ran over by a train in the end.

But Milton is a whole other story I fear. I feel he didn’t die/go missing due to neglect but his own imagination taking him new places and getting lost, or he saw something in the coracores of the house or just in the house that made him leave since he’s 11 when he disappeared. Which either one can’t be pretend.

Okay that’s the end of my ted talk.
