Dying by childbirth has to be the saddest way to die. The mother doesn't even get to meet her baby. The one she's been growing and nurturing for so long by that point, waiting for the chance to finally be with them, only to be ripped away at the last moment.

How some, or all, of the family died.

At 10 years old, Molly dies after ingesting fluoridated toothpaste and holly berries. At 16, Barbara is murdered during a home invasion or implied domestic dispute. At 11, Calvin fell to his death after swinging off the edge of a cliff. At 49, Edie's husband, Sven, dies due to a contruction accident at the house. At 53, after having spent 30 years living as a recluse in a bunker beneath the house and tramatized at witnessing Barbara's death, Walter is hit by a train after stepping outside for the first time since. Sam marries a woman named Kay and they have three kids. Dawn, Gus, and Gregory. Only Dawn reached to adulthood. At 22 months old, Gregory drowns in the bathtub after his mother not looking, or watching, after him. At 13, Gus is crushed by a totem pole in a storm. Sam and Kay soon get a divorce. Sam went hunting with his daughter Dawn, and falls to his death by being bucked by a dear. Tramatized, Dawn moves to India, she marries Sanjay and they then have three kids.Lewis, Milton, and Edith. In 2002, Sanjay dies due to an earthquake and Dawn goes back to the Finch house with her three kids. At 11, Milton randomly disappears and Dawn becomes paranoid. 2010, Lewis dies by unliving himself at 21. Now desperate, Dawn decides they must all leave the house. Edie however refuses to go and after a heated aurgument between Edie and Dawn, she and Edith leave the Finch house. Edie is then found dead at 93 years old. Edith returns to the Finch house at 17 years old and writes down the history of her family into a book. The journal is made for her unborn child in case she should die before she is able to tell them the stories herself. In the end, the character is revealed to be Edith's son, Christopher, and shows that Edith sadly died at childbirth in 2017.

That was a lot 🙂 Well, there you go if you didn't know how some of them died!

I'll always love when he explains the plots to Gabby because it's like a kid telling their mom about the new fandom they're in

I don’t see many people here in the comments talking about how gut wrenching and breathtaking the dialogue is in this game, so I’m going to leave you my favorite quotes from the Finch family. They may be fictional characters in a video game, but these lines are some of the most relatable words I’ve ever heard; some even take emotions I myself have felt throughout my life, and turn them into beautiful, intoxicating sentences. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)

“Nothing in the house looked abnormal, there was just too much of it; like a smile with too many teeth.”

“I don’t want to make the same mistakes she made; trying to bury something that’s still alive.”

“What kind of family finishes building a cemetery before starting the house?”

“My imagination is as real as my body.”

“I don’t want you to be sad that I’m gone, I want you to be amazed that any of us ever had the chance to be here at all.”

[Tebb.y]

I think what makes Lewis’ story so effective and memorable is the fact that, in every play through I’ve seen so far, the player has also become distracted by Lewis’ fantasy world, finding it way more enjoyable than the cannery work. That’s why it’s my favourite one

[RUERUENEEDSHELP]

Eddie telling gabby about his adventure of turning into different animals was the funniest thing ever

[divinedesolation]

I love the parallel between Edie and Edith.

At the beginning of the story Edith says “I never thought I’d come back to it” in reference to the house. In Edie’s story she returns to the Old Finch House in the ocean and says “I’ve seen the house everyday of my life, but I never though I’d return to it.”

[Modernbmer]

I like how the game actually hints at Edith's pregnancy at the beginning when she is going through the crawlspace. She makes a comment saying "these were built for smaller people with smaller stomachs". I just find games like this really interesting. it's too bad that these games are really rare because I would love to see more of them.

[Hy_ts_Zr]

Bro, Edith died at 17 (Ty for pointing that out, I can't do math for crap :)).
She said she was 22 weeks pregnant at 17, meaning she probably died during childbirth.
Idk why it took me this long to realize that, I've watched gameplay for this game so many times before, but still, most of the family died as teenagers or younger, it's sad.

[proottoaster]

honesty, the developers of this game made stray after this one, that's why there's a painting of a cat at the start of the main game

[ItsMRH]

The last part where my realization kicked in that Edith Finch was actually talking to her son made me cry, I could feel and imagine her emotions when she said "Good luck" at the ending.

[correa]

I love this game so much. I love the juxtaposition of Edie and Dawn. Both obsessed with death but have completely opposite reactions to it. Edie clings to the dead and literally makes room in her house for the dead. Dawn, on the other hand, wants to forget the dead and avoid it at all costs. Edith represents the middle of the road. Remember the dead and hold their memory in your heart, but dont forget to live and make room for new experiences.

[BiggieBacky]

Edith: *Waring fingerless gloves*
Eddie: "SOCKS!"

[Imagooseonamoose]

I TURNED INTO HENTAI!!” Eddie said calmly.

[KCullen-lovn]

Lewis’s story brought things into perspective for me because I spend so much time in my head creating false story’s fake personality’s and a completely different world better than my own that this made me realize that I have begun to despise who I really am and wish that my thoughts were reality

[ninetailskwami]

i think one of the most interesting parts of the lore is that this family "curse" was happening for *500 years prior* to Edie. in the beginning, this fact makes you think it really is a curse. but by the end, when you realize the "curse" is generational trauma, it's even more sad. it might seem like a lot, or over exaggeration, but that's actually very real if you think about it. we know trauma is passed down through generations by both teaching it and genetics. and we know that hundreds of years ago we were even more lost & clueless about parenting; a lot of people used to be complete monsters to their children in today's standards because they didn't have childhood development classes or scientific studies advocating against abuse. most people with generational trauma know that their own parents were bad, but their parents' parents were worse, and that as much as anyone alive knows, every generation before was worse than the one that came next. you can only imagine what types of trauma and parenting were happening 500 years ago to now, being handed down through the generations, and the Finch family is no different, albeit to an extreme degree.

[Sharpkiss]

also what remains of Edith Finch is tied to a game called The Unfinished Swan which is based on Milton, I think it takes place right after Milton disappears and it helps break down what happened to Milton

[Silverblades]

Imagine wanting to move overseas and deciding to take your whole ass house with you at that point it's just natural selection

[pikagirl..]

BROOOO I JUST REALISED!!!! The place shaking while Walter was in the bunker was actually the train passing by!! And the day he died.. he just went outside a little early or maybe the train was a little late…..

[Ryria]

My favorite part about watching people play this is them starting off the game in their streaming character and being performative with their reactions, and then about the time Barbara or Walter comes around they start actually getting sucked in to the creative narratives of each family member death, and then are completely overwhelmed by Gregory and Lewis. It’s such a testament to how well done the game developers did with the narrative and creative differences in each family members and how the stories just suck you in before their death and having to sit and gather yourself for a bit before continuing to the next story.
