Calvin
What Remains of Edith Finch – Story and Ending Explained
Calvin is another of Edith’s grandparents who died when they were young. Calvin was just 11 when he died and his story is told through a poem/story written by his brother Sam, and it is one of the most touching in the game. Calvin has always wanted to go over the top of the branch to which the swing down by the sea was connected but he had always been too scared to do so. However, after their sister Barbara’s funeral, they told each other than they wouldn’t be scared of anything anymore so he tried to swing all the way round. The wind picked up and he managed to do it but as he swung round he was flung from the seat towards the ocean and into the rocks below. It is a sad story made even more emotional by being told from his brother perspective. He died trying to overcome his fears.
