For anyone confused (cause I was the first time I played this lol): - Molly died from poisoning after eating fluoridated toothpaste and those berries - Calvin obviously died from swinging off the cliff - Barbara was murdered during a break-in - Walter died after being hit by a train when finally leaving his bunker - Sven died in a construction accident while building the house - Sam obviously fell off the cliff when taking a picture with the deer - Gregory drowns in the bathtub as a little baby - Gus was fatally hit by debris in the storm at the wedding party - Milton obviously went missing, and so is presumed dead - Lewis unalives himself after struggling with mental health issues - Edie died of either old age or alcohol misuse - Dawn died of illness - Edith died in childbirth im assuming Some of the stories are purposefully told in metaphorical or dramatic ways because the whole family claimed they were cursed so the stories that were the most entertaining were memorialised. It’s supposed to be a kind of embracement of death within the family?? Anyway sorry for the long comment. Loved the video!!
@@jadadabbadoo Aren't they broken though? And he died like... decades ago in-game? I think makes decent sense that they fell into disrepair and just weren't worth fixing for the rail company.
the game they reference is the unfinished swan, that game is about the king, aka milton. so milton didnt die, he just went to a new world of his creation, its a really phenomenal game, i highly recommend it
I don’t think that they ever had a curse on them. It was just a way to shift the blame since most of these stories have some kind of negligence about them Odin who seemingly willingly let himself go down with the old house. Molly left in her room on an empty stomach when she was likely used to being full (seeing as her portrait doesn’t seem to be malnourished), leaving her to eat a bunch of things that would make her sick and the combo being what did her in. Calvin who was clearly accident prone left alone and unsupervised on a swing overlooking a cliff. Barbra who shouldn’t have been left alone when a killer was on the use, seeing as she was likely more vulnerable to being a victim due to her famous past. Walter who was traumatized by the death of Barbra and then isolated himself, the family allowing it to happen when he could’ve gotten help instead. Sven dying while he was building the dragon slide, which I wouldn’t be too surprised if he wasn’t exactly the most careful when it came to building. Sam who was reckless around a wild animal, ignoring his daughters warning that the deer was still alive. Gregory who was left alone in a bath despite only being a year old. Gus who was forgotten outside in a horrible storm, leading to a fatal hit from debris. Milton is a little more.. confusing. Either kidnapped or trapped in a secret passageway and dying in there (to be fair, he did seem to frequent the passageways a lot seeing as his drawings are littered throughout them). Lewis who clearly had signs of maladaptive daydreaming, his therapist not picking up on it and even encouraging it. Edie who likely died due to alcohol and meds that should not mix being mixed Edith who died during childbirth due to her being 17 (which already raises the chances of a bad pregnancy) and not taking care of herself properly leading up to it (climbing/crawling around the house). In my mind, Dawn is the only one who *didnt* die of negligence. The one person that tried so be as cautious as possible to not let this ‘curse’ get to her and her children. I feel like she’s the one who realized what was happening. That’s why it was easier for Edith to understand Edie’s side. Because it’s meant to be easier to handle. Dawn’s way of handling it was more realistic and hard to take emotionally. But it does seemed to have worked for a while- both her son’s deaths don’t seem to be out of her control. She didn’t make the passageways- she even locked them trying to keep the kids out of it. She trusted in a professional to help Lewis- which is TOTALLY reasonable. And then with Edith? She wasn’t there to make sure she cared for herself. The only negligence I see is with Edie since they left her alone- but honestly? Edie was probably going to make sure she died anyways- afterall she didn’t want to go to a nursing home, opting to die in her own house than a foreign place.
the way the game had us thinking the entire time that lewis was gonna chop his hand off and then... well something was definitely cut off. the gasp i gusped
No way, how come i didn't realize until now that the person from the beginning on the boat was her son who's on his way to visit his mom's grave. From the Arum-lilies to the journal his reading that his mom leave for him 😭
Dude this game changed my relationship with death!! It had such a positive message about how different people handle death and presents it in a way that made me how rethink how i feel about it. I talk about more on my podcast No Time 4 Gaming.
I feel that Edith Finch almost doesn’t belong in the video game genre. It really feels like it’s the perfect example of what an interactive film would look like. Just phenomenal.
My story with this game!! I was around 6, i was at my dads. He always played video games, uncaring for me most of the time. I mostly watched him, i remember him playing the molly scene, the swing scene, and a bit of another scene. I was so confused. I didnt understand what it was about. Since forever, ive been searching for that game, once in my memory. I was so confused still, 5 years passed or so. I was scrolling through my tiktok feed, until i saw that swing scene. I immediately got a huge flashback, and opened the comments to find the name of the game. “Edith flinch” “What remains of edith flinch” I was skeptical if it was at first, but decided to watch this random streamer play it. I recognized alot of scenes, and it felt like the house was waiting for me too. And with every new room she goes in, it feels like im going too. Whats left behind are memories, to re-discover my childhood, i never thought i’d hear about again. It feels so close to home. It feels like im literally with edith. So what remains of my childhood? What remains of me? What remains of cinna? And mainly, What remains of edith flinch?
Molly died from flouride toothpaste and eating a lot if poisonous things. The stories were maladaptive daydreaming as a coping mechanism to make it seem like the food she was really eating actually tasted good and also as a coping mechanism towards the poisonous pain she was facing. The tentacle thingy was symbolizing the hazy dark feeling you start to feel when you overdose and when it ate her, it was symbolizing how it feels like your insides are eating you alive when you die specifically from od and poisoning. Its a very sad story and unfortunately, this is what its like for ingredient only households and households that use dinner as a privilege. Back when i lived at my moms, i was always eating random shit
I think it was a mix of the fluoride toothpaste and the holly berries. (Holly berries are horrifically toxic, which is why even though they’re pretty, nowadays people normally just keep plastic ones with them.)
A tube of Toothpaste wouldn't actually kill you according to my research, you'd just vomit most likely. It's also theorised that she had some kind of disorder that made her feel hungry all the time and wasn't being starved.
@@JackCraft-tm9hj According to wiki: Fluoride was first added to toothpaste in the 1890s and Fluoride-containing toothpaste can be acutely toxic if swallowed in large amounts. Approximately 15 mg/kg body weight is the acute lethal dose, even though as small amount as 5 mg/kg may be fatal to some children.
@@Kreepie11 As a child I reckon on occasion I've swallowed 5mg of strawberry flavored toothpaste. 😂 Yes it can kill people, but how likely? If you swallowed a full tube your stomach would likely vomit it out, like it does when people swallow pills to suicide.
a lot of people miss that barbara was born on halloween, then killed on it. it really feeds into the idea that edie could’ve been the monster who killed barbara- wanting to give her fame and a bigger story now that she wasn’t starring in anything, the monster that Walter was so scared to face, so he dug himself out rather than walking up the stairs.
For Barbara, I have a feeling it was her boyfriend who killed her and also that he was the one writing the comic. Especially with the facts of the story being too detailed until the end. Also the opinionated stance of "they blamed poor Rick, who for some reason disappeared the same night" not died. disappeared
@@justaperson.2280That’s kind of surprising since it’s from The Nutcracker, I was expecting the theme from John Carpenter’s Halloween in Barbara’s story would get flagged before the music in Gregory’s.
It was fun watching this game a second time. My theory still stands, though. Edie was somehow involved in killing everyone and just blamed it on the curse. How else would she have survived to old age if it really was a curse?
it is very much part of edies fault, she believed in the curse and made all the others believe in it. this led to reckless parenting. molly died from poisonous berries because edie didnt feed her that night, calvin was literally on a swing right next to a cliff. some stories are a bit different like barbara's, but edie chose to keep a very strange story to memorialise her death, and they let walter seclude himself in a bunker for almost his whole life after he was shaken by barbara's death. as for gregory, kay was going through a lot at the time but she literally left a 1 year old unsupervised in a bathtub. and theres a similar pattern in most of these stories.
I’m a person that lives very far away from most people the nearest town is 4 almost 5 hours away and we have very few neighbours but we don’t normally interact unless needed cause we are miles apart it can be very isolating.
Odin died in the old sinking house Sven died building a dragon Edith died of alcohal and drug mix Molly died of food she shouldent have ate Barbra died by falling due to her rollerskate (its implied eddith or barbra boyfriend caused this somehow accident or not) Sam died by deer osuhing him off the cliff Calvin died flying off a swing off a cliff (the twins twined on there death 😢) Walter either died to a train or fell into the ocean after hallunciateing the train Dawn died of a terminal illness Gregory drwoned in the tub.. Gus died in a storm, most likely soffocated by a tent Sanjay I think of sickness Kay isent clear but she did divorce sam Marvin dispeared and is hinted at to still be alive in a sister game Our other brother i forgot anme of killed himself after mental health and substance probloms Eddie jr died during child birth And her kid is the final finch, besides marvin and if he had a son.
Idk why but it bothers me when ppl are like “oh is this this? Are they related? Omg is this this and this” YES. If u just fucking listened you would know like omggshsmdnzoand
@@jakofthefrost *Holly berries The berries on a mistletoe are white not red, but yes, still poisonous. However, they are not so poisonous that they can straight up kill you. The thing that killed Molly was a mix of all the things she ate that night (the berries, the toothpaste and the hamster food), all of them wouldn’t be able to kill someone on their own (max they would make you sick, but you’d recover) but eating all of them and mixing the poisonous parts and germ parts together *would* kill you.
She only played an hour- an hour and a half, which is not bad at all. The game itself is also long, and compared to 2 other RUclipsrs I’ve seen, they’ve also played within that timeframe, one has even played for two hours.

She has no words after Gregory, like she does for everyone else. I think as a pregnant mom she was horrified

Dude this game changed my relationship with death!! It had such a positive message about how different people handle death and presents it in a way that made me how rethink how i feel about it. I talk about more on my podcast No Time 4 Gaming.
Legitimately one of the best games ever made, pure art. You could argue maybe the best indie game ever made.

I was scrolling through my tiktok feed, until i saw that swing scene. I immediately got a huge flashback, and opened the comments to find the name of the game.
“Edith flinch”
“What remains of edith flinch”
I was skeptical if it was at first, but decided to watch this random streamer play it.
I recognized alot of scenes, and it felt like the house was waiting for me too.
And with every new room she goes in, it feels like im going too.
Whats left behind are memories, to re-discover my childhood, i never thought i’d hear about again.
It feels so close to home. It feels like im literally with edith.
So what remains of my childhood?
What remains of me?
What remains of cinna?
And mainly,
What remains of edith flinch?
*staring right at the cat* “I DONT SEE ANY CAT”
Supposedly according to the creators Milton is a king in a game called the unfinished swan
Wait, did they actually confirm that? Cause, I’ve believed this theory since I first heard about it, but I didn’t know the creators had confirmed it

No it cut out earlier for me, when she says “hold on Gregory”
I think you accidentally skipped Odin
yeah, odin's story was in edie and sven's room, but it was very short so i dont necessarily blame them for accidentally missing it
Would have gotten all the advancements if you went back to Calvin’s story
Not gonna lie, having the Halloween/Michael Myers theme play during Barbara's story is out of pocket af even though it does fit the tone of the story.
everybody says "don't eat your fish" but if anybody was that hungry, they would eat it in a heartbeat
It was fun watching this game a second time.
My theory still stands, though. Edie was somehow involved in killing everyone and just blamed it on the curse. How else would she have survived to old age if it really was a curse?

Its a curse, in every generation only one survives some years longer, Edie, Walter, Sam, Dawn and Edith
