i opened up the journal at the start of edith finch and saw that edith was born in 1999. “ah, so she’s like 9 years old,” i thought, followed by “oh no”

girl what do you mean your family’s 6 bedroom estate in the woods has just been sitting here untouched for years. have you never heard of zillow

“there are 3 dead gerbils in our pet cemetery” yes that does tend to happen when you keep them in a drawer

wait. is the fact that Edith is pregnant supposed to be a twist? you can literally look down at her model and see the baby bump lol

everything about this game is so nice and tactile and thought out for the controller. i have been meaning to play it bc i love Unfinished Swan for the same reason. i had started it on PC already but it’s not quite the same experience without a controller IMO

ok so Edith, i’m halfway through this game but i think i figured it out girl. the problem is that your family has real hobbies like hunting and acting and shit and they keep dying doing them. i am gonna introduce you to a little thing called final fantasy xiv. you’ll live forever

ok between leaving an infant unattended in the tub and putting holly (which is toxic) on a 10 year old’s windowsill can someone please teach this family what a child is

“we had no room in the house for mom to live in any of the 294 existing bedrooms so we built what is definitely an unpermitted extension on top”

in case it is not clear i am only memeing on this game because i’m enjoying the hell out of it, honestly

if your psychiatrist hears about your mental illness devolving into a kind of mind palace situation and is like "yes, more fodder for my fanfiction hobby, gonna write to your boss and then your mom in that order" it's time to change psychs perhaps

i don’t think the ending is meant to be totally satisfying. still, would have loved to see who edith’s partner ended up being. there’s such an emphasis on “just being near this family causes death” and it seems like that would make you pretty careful about who you choose to love.
