“Don’t cry it’s just a videogame”. The Videogame:

This is quite possibly the greatest video game ever created. Very few games contain such powerful and compelling storytelling. I am not an overly-emotional guy, but to say I teared up a few times during my playthrough of this masterpiece would be a gross understatement. Indies truly do it better. PS. I enjoyed your playthrough very much! First time watcher, now subbed.

Love this, top tier "walking simulator". Probably my favorite in that category. The way it mixes gameplay and story at the same time is brilliant. Can't wait to watch this! If you have the time I'd recommend a video from Joseph Anderson. He does a really great breakdown of the game, the story and themes. Called "The Villain of Edith Finch"

Its probably his best video, yeah.

The phrase "East of the sun and West of the moon" is a term often used in norwegian fairytales. It is used to describe the location of the palace of Whitebear king Valemon. I wonder at it's inclusion to describe Lewis's golden palace. Is the term common in fairytales outside of Norway as well? We do see several copies of books titles "Norwegian fairytales" around the house, so I wonder if it might be a spesific referance, perhaps in line with the Finch'es norwegian ancestry?

Busy editing my gameplay, glad I decided to check other gamers who've played it because I thought I'm being a bit dramatic with the editing of the music. Your copyright warning just helped me. Thank you so much.

More story-driven masterpieces: Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Life is Strange, Soma

Soma is AMAZING, one of my favorite game stories ever. Leaves you speechless at times.

This is so much more than a video game. It’s one of the most beautiful pieces of story telling I’ve ever seen

The most popular theory for Molly was that she was poisoned by the toothpaste and berries and hallucinated becoming all those creatures before dying.

@peytonkirk106

It’s sad bc all the animals she turned into can be seen in her room, so yeah she was hallucinating :(

Theory: Molly got hallucinations from eating toothpaste and holly berries, and fell to the ground and broke her neck while trying to catch the bird

I always figured that since her mother sent her to bed early and didn't sound mad, Molly probably was sick. medicine back in those days wouldn't have been great and the holly and fluoride definitely wouldn't of helped but my theory was it was all mainly a fever dream before she died of whatever sickness she had along with the poison.

For reference every member dies from: Ingeborg Finch - Died during childbirth. Johann Finch - Died during childbirth. Odin Finch - While attempting to sail his house across the ocean he ended up sinking. Sven Finch - Fell to his death after the slide he was building collapsed. Molly Finch - Presumably died from food poisoning for consuming multiple un-edibles after being sent to bed without food. Calvin Finch - Fell off a cliff while he was swinging. Barbara Finch - Presumably tripped on her rollerskate or murdered by her boyfriend. Walter Finch - Hit by a train after walking out onto the tracks. Gregory Finch - Drowned in a bathtub due to parental neglect. Gus Finch - Either drowned in a storm or crushed by tent equipment. Sam Finch - Knocked off of a cliff when the deer his daughter shot turned out to still be alive. Sanjay Kumar - Died in an earthquake. Lewis Finch - Implied to have "accidentally" decapitated himself with a fish de-header. Edith 'Edie' Finch - Presumably died from old age or suicide. Dawn Finch - Died from unknown illness. Spoilers!!!: Edith Finch - Died from complications as she gave birth to her son, Christopher.

I love this game. It hit me more than I expected when I started to play it in the past. Nice to see you play it.

This game always breaks me a bit. I knew there wasn't going to be a happy ending but damn.

I love this game to death, is so well written :')

Thanks Miri - so glad you liked it! Definitely something new for me too and I enjoyed every second x

Such an amazing and emotional game! If you haven't already, you might want to play The Unfinished Swan. Apart from being a pretty decent game, it's also linked to Edith Finch through one of the characters.

This was such a good game. I saw you had recommendations for Firewatch and Soma too, definitely add my support for those. Another great walking sim is a game called The Witness. It’s a very challenging puzzle game but the audio and visual design, and the mysterious world it takes place in make it one of the most engaging and memorable games I’ve played.

And while I’m making recommendations can I add Subnautica to that list as well! I’m so greedy 😁

Thanks to the developers who made this game. Thanks to KZread for recommending Emma's channel to me. And especially thanks to Emma for playing and sharing with us! This is so incredible. The scene which touched me the most? 1:03:23 you can see the swing from which Calvin flown away and it was even wrapped around the branch several times. As if the time stood still since then, as in all of the rooms. Insane.

Funeral music plays …. „That was fun“ 😂

With how many playthroughs I watch and how much I love this game it’s interesting that this is my fist time watching a PT about it. What a game huh? This game kinda made me realize how videogames as media for storytelling have something unique to offer that no other medium can match just like movies, series, etc. have. This “walking simulator” sub genre has a lot of gems in it so keep at it 👍 good video 🙏

This is my all time favorite video game to watch playthroughs on - and cry my our out. Found your channel just a couple days ago so great timing with this. Looking forward to more Sekiro 😊

I've watched a lot of play-throughs of this game - this is one of my favorites. I think we are on the same emotional wavelength:). Don't apologize for being too quiet. Many players go the other way, and it's always distracting. Your interaction was just right. In my eyes, this game is an absolute masterpiece. I've never seen anything quite like it. The detail is incredible. I need to check out more from Annapurna. And how about a shout-out to Valerie Rose Lohman as the voice of Edith Finch. This is a good example of how important voice actors are in story-driven games. One little piece of trivia. When the closing credits are running and they get to the list of playtesters (1:54:00), I saw Neil Druckmann's name pop up (2nd column).

1:40:24 they were dressed in all black. Because this wasn’t only the coronation of Prince Lewis but also the execution of the cannery worker Lewis

What a wonderful choice Emma, this is just made for you , I don't know what I expected but watching this just blew me away just how inventive it was 🤩 thanks for the update on your schedule & goals for 2023 take care & sending good vibes and happiness for your weekend 🙏🫶💜🌺

One of my favourite games ever. Really got me, this one♥️

Every time someone plays this I think "Oh I'm up for watching it again". Then afterwards I'm emotionally spent. But I did enjoy your playthrough Emma.

Great video, love this game and watching others play this makes me want to go back and play it again

I love this game with my whole heart.

Congrats on 30k subs!

I'm just surprised you didn't cry. I bawled my eyes out at that bath scene.

Love this game, enjoying my lie in watching you play this. I love how you didn’t have a clue about what it was, neither did I and I think that’s how it should be experienced (save checking the trigger warnings if you need to of course)

The music that played in Milton’s room and the paintings are from a video game called the unfinished swan

One of the best songs indie game of all time!

Lovely to see you again Emma on the same day what remains of Edith finch what did I say I would love to see this is one of my favourite games along with life is strange so you got my vote 🗳️ Emma what a start already lovely graphics this brought back so many memories Emma thank you for everything you’ve the best take care see ya soon bye bye ❤

Great vid!!!! You handled it a lot better than i did lol

I know I'm late here and it's a bit unrelated but I saw Tunic on your PS+ and I cand recommend this game enough. It's a great, touching and adorable game with neat twist on exploration. Some can say it's similar to old school Zelda with soulslike elements. I think you might like it, but beware of spoilers while looking it up.

I'm really enjoying this game! Honestly, I love games!

I'd been looking at this game for years but only got round to playing it when it appeared on PS+ a couple of months ago, I really enjoyed it. Something different from what I usually play. If you want to play more shorter Indie style games Emma I'd recommend Deliver Us The Moon, it's a really good game and might still be on PS+ Extra. There's also Little Nightmares 2 if you enjoyed playing the first one. Also worth a look, and with a similar dark and macabre style as Little Nightmares, are Limbo and Inside. Limbo has been out a long time so you may have already played it but Inside is more recent and from the same Developer, Playdead. All these are only about 3-5 hours long.

I find it very funny that you immediately panicked about needing subtitles and then were disappointed that it wasn’t an option, only to realize subtitles are a fundamental part of the the game that can’t be turned off!

"I swallowed him up and I didn't chew one bit" (lol), Cheers for playing this game. I played it a lot time ago and don't remember the details.

will you play horizon forbidden west on the channel? Its really good!

Its not about the death it's the lives of the characters

thanks for posting this. This game is such incredible experience I wanted to see someone else play it. as a dude who tries not to try I teared up twice LOL

I'd love to see Soma and Life is Strange. I've had this game for a while, but haven't played it yet. I guess this is the sign I was waiting for.

I know its been months since you uploaded this but i wanted to let you know that the Gregory scenes sound seems to be missing :(! The rest of the video is fine, it seems youtube messed with only that portion 😢 1:13:44

Barbara’s story was the most horrifying and depressing to me honestly.

Not lying you reminded me of kall me kris you two look like twins❤

Would love to see original Life is strange playthrough!!! 😍🦌

the beginning was funny the end though tears

Yeah.. Pretty much.. Just each way the family members die told in a fantastical way. :( you infer how they die through their stories. Yeah. Pretty sad. But told in a fantastical way

Since you hate underwater games, will you ever play subnautica?
