Gregory’s part destroyed me. I lost my only baby. I can’t help but break down in tears watching that part. I’m in tears watching this play through. Thank you for showing empathy. Even though this is just a game. Things like this happens in real life

I just wanted to say I enjoyed your walk through a lot. Your hesitation with Gregory, and Lewis was particularly touching. You stated at the end that 'There is something wrong you' being so overwhelmed with emotion. There is nothing wrong with you. You are just a wonderfully sensitive human being. I was a snotty weeping mess when I played this game. I always cry when others cry experiencing the Finch 'end game'. This video is the best reaction video I have seen. I just want to give you a big hug!

I definitely teared up at Gregory’s & Edith’s deaths and was horrified at Lewis’s death and I generally felt bad for these fictional characters. Everyone who has gone through loss could understand how painful and sad it is to lose a family member, I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.

I've watched many people play this game, but you're the first one that really mirrors my feelings. So many parts had me crying too.

Most stories were sad, specially Lewis, but the death of Gregory is the hardest one for me, I don't have kids but if I had one and dies because of a stupid mistake like that I feel like I would never forgive myself

I've watched a ton of reactions to this game, and yours is honestly my favorite by a mile. Seeing you interact with the story on it's own terms and really feel it, instead of just trying to suss out the lore, is so refreshing.

I played this game a couple years ago. This year I had my first child, and I took the responsibility of giving him his bath every single day, never leaving him alone in the bathtub. I'm sure that's what 99% of parents do anyway, and that's what my wife would've done but... I just have to make sure, after playing this game.

I had to take a break after Walter’s and Gregory’s stories when I played through. I don’t cry at things like movies or TV shows very often but those got me bad. Walter just gave me such a “that’s not fair!” feeling and made me realize that that’s how death is sometimes 😭 I was not ready. And Gregory’s tragic death was just so devastating but beautifully conveyed it really affected me.

So it's really up to you what happens. From my point of view. He had a very happy death. He was an old man that died free. I don't think he was hit by a train seeing as the tracks go nowhere into a literal solid mountain. i think the train was a way of showing him having a heart attack, because if you look at his grave by the tracks, he's wearing a Train conductors hat with a model train by it. After being stuck in a shelter for 30 years, his heart couldn't take the shock, his last act as a man was facing his fear and dying free.

@@Amoogus Dang, I think you’re right! Just found this comment on a thread on Steam (user NO THIS IS HATTRICK): I think he walked off the cliff at the exact spot where you later saw the tracks had eroded off. The train probably hadn't been running for years by 2005, even though you as Edith Finch still heard the distant sounds of a train in 2016. Basement dwellers aren't that implausible. But I doubt he was actually hit by a train, as it's established time and time again that the experiences you relive through the books tend to be embellishments of the truth. Miniature trains were his hobby, so it's poetic to say he died by a train even though that wasn't true, he merely died near the tracks (recall similarly how Edie liked to say that Sven was killed by a dragon when he died building a dragon slide). In the end, how he (or any of the Finches) died ultimately doesn't matter. I think the point of Walter's story was to illustrate an absurd and ironic twist of fate - the moment he decides he no longer has reason to be afraid and ventures out from his self-made prison ready to live life to the fullest, he meets his untimely end.

Thanks for such an empathic reflection on this experience...not sure "game" is even quite the right term

This is an amazing story. There's no monsters to worry about, no zombies to kill, no bad guys to thwart. Just amazing storytelling and stunning environments. I think you might like the Vanishing of Ethan Carter if you like these storytelling mystery types. It's an amazing game and just as immersive. I'm gonna sub to hopefully see if you play it. All the best, I'm hugging you mentally from the future right now. You seemed like you needed it.

I LOVE this game, and I love watching people discover it. One of the hosts of a certain British official PlayStation KZread channel considers it hands down his favorite game of all time, and they recently did a video with him watching one of his colleagues playing it for the first time. Perhaps Chat will tell you this (I am just starting watching your playthrough as I write this), but the accepted fan theory about Milton's disappearance is that he left this world to become the King in this company's previous PlayStation exclusive, _The Unfinished Swan._ The crown he wears in his portrait is the crown of the King in that game, the name of his flip book, "The Magic Paintbrush" seems to refer to the player's only tool in _The Unfinished Swan,_ which was a magic paintbrush controlled by the Move Controller, and beside the elevator in his castle, there are paint spatters like in that game, and the painting beside the elevator is the cover art from _The Unfinished Swan._

Thank you for mentioning The Walking Dead Game, it's all I could think about watching this reaction. I almost never, ever cry in general and while the ending of this game left me with tears running down my face, TWDG made me full on ugly cry for the last half of the 4th episode of TFS. The only game or even piece of media to ever do that. Seeing how Raylynne utterly broke down to WRoEF, I don't think she'd be able to handle TWDG, but I'd love to see her reaction if she tried. That game just guts you emotionally. It's kind of unbelievable and unexpected, when you think it's just going to be a run of the mill zombie apocalypse game, and it's really an intense, intelligent, emotional, and tragic character study. Lee and Clementine Everett will forever be two of the greatest and most unforgettable characters ever created. I've cared about many fictional characters but I've only ever loved 3; Arthur Morgan, Lee Everett, and most all, Clementine Everett.

May I introduce you to Life is Strange?

Lewis always makes me cry, and cry, and Gregory is staged incredibly (the INTENSE joy, the overwhelming aesthetics, the staring-you-in-the-face-all-along horror), but Molly breaks my heart the most I think. Of all of them, you get the strongest sense of how funny and mischievous she was, how brazen and fearless. "And we both know... I will be... delicious." What a killer final line! I think in some ways she's done a disservice by being the first story, and the player is still confused about what's meant to be real (or in your case, expecting full on horror lmao) - the framing device of Molly's imagination is confused with it being possibly Videogamey Magic, I think? By the time you get to Barbara the understanding of it being a retelling from an outsider who is deliberately manipulating things, which itself is chosen as the memorial by a person who wants things deliberately manipulated, that comes somewhat more easily. Also I kinda think Molly's gameplay sucks and that doesn't help lol. I think there *was* relief but it was more in the fact that the really harsh ones were separated by shorter ones where you didn't contribute as a player so much, and the "lighter" moments were the game trying to use the death scenes to tell you what the *life* was like - love and pain and connections, just always viewed at the end.

The reason why Molly’s story is confusing and magical is because she died because if poisoning. The berries she ate are very toxic to the human system and it causes hallucinations. So everything that happens is a hallucination. This is proven by that fact that you are only able to progress if you eat the berries.

There’s also the chance that it was all a wild dream that she used to comfort herself as she was dying. Molly ate a combination of toxic substances that night, with the most toxic being the berries and the tube of toothpaste. She’s a child with an overactive imagination that comforted herself with a dream about animals and being able to eat in her final moments. It’s also worth noting that all the animals she ate were mothers, signaling her anger at her own mother for sending her to bed without dinner.

@@cindynguyen5661 I didn't really consider the mother thing, that's really cool! I mean I would definitely not agree *all* of the animals were mothers, they were definitely all female, but it does make me wonder at the symbolism of the sailors more, as the family were so fresh off the boat at that point. If it's a story about being mad at mothers, and I do like that, the sailors do pose some further questions. I did read a comment that I really liked about how Molly's death could've been cancer or something like that, a child's interpretation of the "eating up" and confusing pain, and frustration. I mean I don't think it's likely or necessary (though if it was true, I appreciate that they kept it very very vague) but honestly even this I'd prefer over "she was hallucinating." It just seems so tawdry and literal.

This game stuck with me for a while. It’s surreal and mundane and sad and beautiful. A lot like life. I clearly don’t have life figured out. I have a lot of questions, and a lot of hard days. Days that feel uncomfortable and frustrating and often painful. But I think Edith Finch speaks the truth. I don’t know how long I’ll be here, how long I’ll have with my wife and the two marvelous little people I love so much. There is so much uncertainty about life. But I can do my best to savor, appreciate, and wonder at every moment I get. Edith’s wisdom seems like good words to live by: “As it is, I think the best we can do is try to open our eyes and appreciate how strange and brief all of this is.” “Be amazed that any of us ever had a chance to be here at all.”

The Lewis part always gets to me because I think like Lewis. Maybe I have something wrong with me too but I do the same thing. When I'm in a boring situation I start to imagine a fantasy world. One where I'm powerful and smart, or maybe just one where I have the freedom or outlet to make any creative project I want. And in my mind the world I've created is just as real as the one I live in. My mind makes it real... To me. So I can always go back to it whenever I want, or whenever I need to escape this life I'm living. It sounds bad or like a problem but you cant imagine how much comfort it brings me.

The whole story is so hard hitting and yet I've barely seen anyone be actually reactive to it. Its nice to see someone actually get emotional and cry over the stories, for some reason its kind of rare

Thank you for sharing your playthrough. I've loved this game for years and have always been saddened when people would casually go through the game without fully processing what was happening in it. Two months ago I suddenly lost my little brother and today when I desperately needed to cry, I got to cry with you. Thank you for that.

Great video. This is one of my favourite games. First time I got to Gregory’s story I was , oh no. My daughter recently played when she was home sick from school. I asked what spot she was at and when she said Gregory I asked if she wanted to know what was going to happen or experience it. She chose experience but I sat with her, still got me.

One of the greatest walking simulators ever made. The amount of emotions poured into the story and lore is outstanding. There are SOOO many details within the house that come full circle. Definitely worth a second or third playthrough to catch everything. I'm not sure the developers could ever top this but I hope they know that they touched millions with what they put together here. I'm so glad I was able to playthrough this completely blind. Was an experience I will never forget.

Man this game hits different. Every playthrough I watch I find a different family members story getting to me.

Yeah, a combination of everything she ate was not good for a body let alone a child's, so one at a time would most likely leave here sick but everything together is death

I watched my eldest (then somewhere between 17 and 19) complete the Lewis/coronation segment and wept because I understood that gaming had been my escape for decades. (Since autism diagnosis and ADHD medication, there have been no more episodes of severe depression.)

A game that really broke me apart is, “What remains of Edith Finch” and also a game thats called, “That Dragon, Cancer”

anyone who knows me knows i have some pretty bad hangups about death. i've been surrounded by death since i was a child, and i suffer from pretty severe thanatophobia and suicidal thoughts / ideation. oddly enough, this game helped me a lot with that. somehow, it managed to get me to come to terms with so much of my issues surrounding death and grief. it's easily one of the most beautiful and emotional experiences i've had. no matter what, this game will always have a place in my heart.

All if this game tears me apart every time I see it. But for some reason the one thing that screws with me and has stuck with me, is that Edith Jr. didn't even make it to 18. She literally was less than a month from her 18th birthday, and likely never even got to hold her baby she died giving birth to. And I think that's because we play as her the whole game, it hurts knowing she never away from "the curse" herself, like you almost can believe she'll be the outlier, but she isn't, and that fu*kin destroys me. Her mother tried so hard, and it never really matters in the end. God, the messages this game conveys are so painful, but very important. And having everyone's credits be a childhood picture at the end, instead of just names or something, just hammers in that pain that you feel when the story ends.

You should really play The Unfinished Swan too. There is backstory about what Milton did after the dissappearance and it is a very good game. Loved your reaction!

Omg this was hard to see you play through. All the tears with you at the end Ray

Halfway thru video: I think Sven killed Barbara & Walter. Sven had a “left hand wound.” The killer at Walter’s door had a left hand hook. Barbara realized “Monsters were in the house.” Walter said, “Monster on the other side of the door,” which was Sven’s workshop (Sven name hanging). The “shaking” was likely Sven using the shop. The hamster cage is crazy: it has a door to the dresser to “Look” like a home when it’s really a cage. The whole house is a cage for MOST of the family members. Before, I just suspected Edie: starving Molly, telling lies for fame, peepholes, locked doors, “concept videos,” hanging pictures to celebrate death. Now, halfway through I think clues point to Sven, too. If Barbara saved Walter that night by fighting her family and losing… wow. “Couldn’t leave Walter behind.” Just wow. It’s crazy how the “monsters” inside the house (Edie & Sven) are more terrifying than “real” monsters.

Yeah, this game is a masterpiece of storytelling. I'm rarely effected by stuff like this but a couple of stories hit me like a train (sorry Walter lol). The studio, Giant Sparrow made one other game - The Unfinished Swan, which is also brilliant but certainly not for everyone. I really hope they do more because they are such a talented studio. Such a short game but it's in my top ten of the best games ever made. There's SO much packed in there that's easily overlooked - the details in the environments, all linking to the stories and to each other so beautifully. Not a game you 'enjoy' as much as you appreciate and it certainly left an impression on me.

i had the same reaction - this masterpiece is a killer 😢 - and a huge shout-out to valerie rose lohman, the voice of edith finch!

I'm bordeline, so my emotions are always cranked up to maximum level, and this game absolutely destroyed me, so I completely get you.

At this point I just cant play those huge AAA open world games anymore. Just too busy with life, so I appreciate these smaller games more now. What remains of Edith Finch will always be one of my most favourite games ever. I played it about 1-2 years ago but its burned into my memory at this point. I cried like a baby through out. What a game.

I haven't played the game; I've only seen a playthrough without commentary. Still, this was a beautiful story. What I got from it is that the "curse" that Edith's mother was trying so desperately to avoid was really just the passion and imagination that helped the Finch family live their lives to the fullest. Even if all that passion did contribute to their death's, at least, it lead them to dying happy. They could look back on life and be glad they weren't afraid or miserably. That is very inspiring.

There is a huge Easter Egg/tie in to Giant Sparrows first game The Unfinished Swan. It’s a pretty good game too.

Edith’s death date isn’t marked because Edith was the one writing the book/diary. She wrote it in that period after being 22 weeks pregnant but before giving birth (since she’s clearly writing this after doing the exploration, but likely died during childbirth since she never got to tell the stories herself). It’d be a bit unrealistic if she guessed the year of her own death, and adds a strong tinge of reality and perspective for those who notice it

Thank you for this, I was scared of playing it and now I feel better about it, I'll come back to watch the rest when I finish haha Also what headphones are you wearing? I am looking for new ones :D

33:36 Your reaction 😂

is it bad that i was trying to jump off the swing before realizing what it was ... xD

There have been only a few games to make me cry... not many in the thousands I play regularly, but most notable (and if you like games that have GREAT, AMAZING, FANTASTIC, EPIC STORYTELLING and give you a GOOD CRY, much like this one did, I highly recommend these other three): 1. This one. 2. To the Moon 3 Valiant Hearts: The Great War 4. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Seriously, I LOVED watching you play this, your emotions are real....and some of the best I've seen that has played this game. I would love to see you someday try the other three games if you have not yet played them.

Valiant hearts the great war left me in tears for a good 20 minutes and the same with the end of Arthurs story in red dead redemption 2

There’s a video called “the villain of Edith finch” where the creator analyzes the deaths and whether or not the curse is real or not.

Love your reaction. I've played and watched this crowning scene many times and it gets me everytime. Best and worst of my gaming experience. And I've watched zombies feed my brains to wild dogs. Been there done that. This left an actually lasting emotional imprint. Top 10 easy imo.

I have to say I really enjoyed this game.

Love your heart, Ray. I just want to reach through the screen and hug you.

I really really miss you. The way the world is right now, and everybody chering on war, I miss people like you and me, who want a happy world, not a world where people die.

I played the game & also found it packs a HUGE emotional punch. About the house though, did anyone ever reach the absolute top of the tower? I think I went as high up as possible but in hindsight I'm not sure & I can't put myself thru playing this game again to find out!

sry for came a year late. but i rly like your playthrough. if u want to get blown your mind like in this one, play "soma" ;)

There's a Persian poem that goes something like this (sorry for the rough translation) : *_Whoever is more humane in the conclave of life, gets to drink more of the wine of sorrow_* There's nothing wrong with having intense feelings. That just means there's a little more empathy and humanity left in you despite this life we all live that tries to numb us to the feeling.

I really like how you're actually making sure to check every part of the game 😭

if you liked this game you would love to play TO THE MOON

You should play Outer Wilds at some point if you want a good cry, the story, graphics, and music are all incredible. It's a beautiful game about learning and growing that I think you'd love, after watching this 🥰

Outer Wilds is such a phenomenal game. I went in with no expectations after buying in on a whim, and it turned out to be one of my favorite video game experiences of all time.

I also played the last of us 2 between outer wilds and what remains of edith finch which i also liked a lot

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your face looks like your surprised alot

Lewis and Gregory...

Really appreciate you enjoyed this as much as I did.

Calvin's death was very sad and Gregory's.

11:55 (personal time stamp)

Delicious tears. I recommend the game SOMA, it's a horror game but the main thing is not so much the fear but the story, I think you might like it. It is also a very short game, you can complete it in 2 days.

Calvin got to me

Oh you're a kind soul

What´s wrong with you is that you can perceive the sublime. Try Violet Evergarden series :)

Still gotta give it to Red Dead 2 for this one but still sad nonetheless
