*ATTENTION* Works with compatible Apple devices below. What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state. As Edith, you’ll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she's the last one in her family left alive. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day. The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the Finches themselves. The only constants are that each is played from a first-person perspective and that each story ends with that family member's death. Ultimately, it's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us. Created by Giant Sparrow, the team behind the first-person painting game The Unfinished Swan. iPhone - 7th generation and higher iPhone SE - 2nd generation iPad - 6th generation and higher iPad Air - 3rd generation and higher iPad mini - 5th generation and higher iPod touch - 7th generation iPad Pro - 2nd generation and higher

wonderful game, frame rate isn’t great.

I understand optimization issues and the artistic choice to prioritize a cinematic aesthetic, but in the age of iPad Pro M2, I’m pretty sure you could at least offer the option to push 60 frames. I was expecting the same experience as on PC and i was slightly disappointed in the first 3 seconds of starting the game when it chugged 30. I’m sure —to most people— this is not a huge detraction, but I haven’t played a game at 30 frames for years. I have become accustomed to something a bit smoother; It is more important to me than resolution or fancy effects. That said, I like the controller support and visuals which are, honestly, almost on par with pc. Also, unlike many high fidelity AAA ports, it seems rather stable. kudos.

I use an ipad and i discovered this game and wanted to play, i saw the reviews saying it crashes right after unlocking the book 'there's a secret in this bathroom' i unfortunately ignored these reviews and went ahead and downloaded anyway. Low and behold, it crashes right after the book. I was awful confused because my ipad is the 9th generation and it should function but it didn't. Thankfully my sister has recently gotten a new phone so i got her old phone and connected my apple ID to the phone and was able to download the game for free and my game had saved on my sisters old phone. I was able to continue the game with no interruptions and was overall a great game but i recommend to not download on an ipad, it's almost guaranteed to crash right after the pink bathroom no matter what generation of ipad you have.

TW: several deaths - if deaths are a hard topic for you, I don’t recommend thisSide note: kind of spoilers but no major giveaways of the actual plot What remains of Edith Finch is an incredible game with a heart wrenching, bittersweet story line that I completely enjoyed playing. The graphics are pretty and overall nice to look at. There are some small bugs that I feel aren’t acceptable for a 5 dollar game but it was still interesting. A major issue was the fact the game kept crashing when I reached specific areas. (I’m using an IPad which is relatively new) For example, it kept crashing when I finished Molly’s story which was bothersome. I deleted the game and reinstalled it a few times and managed to reach Calvin’s bit. I finished swinging and the game crashed repeatedly. I’ve tried everything from restarting to deleting the game but nothing worked. I haven’t been able to complete it. Please fix this!! I really want to finish the game :cTL;DR: great game but it crashes often.

Great game spoiled by terrible move system

The game is engrossing but the control system to move around in the game is abysmal. You press and then move your finger to indicate direction to move. Sadly this has two HUGE problems. First, your finger is over the top of the item you are trying to move towards, which is clunky, and second (the killer) many times you cannot move AT ALL until the view lines up just right. Want to walk down a road? Nope, you can’t do that until you fiddle around till the view of the road is just right before you can move .. with no indication if you have found the right view or not. This is so bad it basically ruins the game. Very sad.
