'what remains of edith finch' is such a haunting story but like, the part that's the most harrowing to me is that the stories we see of their deaths are always, always filtered through edie. she's the one who makes the shrines, she's the one who leaves out diaries and poems and comics. and like, the actual deaths could be so far removed from what we know. there could be clues that have been eroded by time or clues put there on purpose. and like. just. even after death edie orchestrates (to some extent) all these deaths like one huge fantastical story. and the reality is they were just people. all of them were just people and they were just children with deaths that are only as true as we believe them to be.
