The story behind the haunting What Remains of Edith Finch

The critically acclaimed What Remains of Edith Finch launched on Xbox One yesterday, but those who had a chance to play it on PC and PlayStation 4 when it first debuted in April have had a few months now to process the story. Developed by Giant Sparrow and published by Annapurna Interactive, it’s a narrative-driven adventure game about a doomed family that’s been described as haunting.

I caught up with Giant Sparrow’s creative director Ian Dallas to look back at the design process behind Edith Finch and what the fan reaction has been so far.
