Story-Focused Games That Should Be Played with Friends
What Remains of Edith Finch
If you like the more emotional tone of Life Is Strange but you want a story-focused game that’s a little more artsy, or just something short enough to beat in one night, What Remains of Edith Finch is a perfect fit. What Remains of Edith Finch tells the curious story of the Finch family, a notoriously unlucky family that, for generations, has had nearly every member die a bizarre and premature death. The story of each family member’s death is told through separate vignettes, triggered once you enter that person’s room.
The storytelling in What Remains of Edith Finch is highly unique and playing with someone else can give you the opportunity to speculate and piece together the bizarre and tragic story with someone else’s input. Also, the nature of the vignettes makes the game easy to turn into a multiplayer experience as you can simply trade back and forth for each story.
Clocking in at just two hours on HowLongToBeat.com, and with numerous awards including Best Narrative at the 2017 Game Awards, What Remains of Edith Finch is a special experience, perfect for knocking out in one sitting with a friend by your side.
