What Remains of Edith Finch — Android version: a look back

What Remains of Edith Finch is a short, narrative-driven first-person exploration game originally released in 2017 by Giant Sparrow. The player explores the Finch family home, uncovering vignettes that recount the lives and deaths of family members. An Android port brought the experience to mobile devices, letting players play on phones and tablets. Here’s a concise overview of that Android release and its legacy.

• Take your time: What Remains of Edith Finch is a game that's meant to be savored, so take your time exploring the various vignettes and interacting with the Finch family's stories.
• Experiment with different interactions: The game's various mechanics and interactions are designed to enhance the narrative, so don't be afraid to try new things and see what happens.
• Pay attention to the soundtrack: The game's haunting soundtrack is an integral part of the experience, so make sure to listen carefully and take in the atmosphere.

Cloud Gaming Services: You can play the game on Android devices by streaming it through services like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (via Cloud Gaming) or NVIDIA GeForce NOW, provided you own the game on a supported PC storefront like Steam.

Story 4: Gregory (The Frog)

• Objective: Keep the frog on the lily pad.
• Solution: This is one of the hardest mobile sections. You must tap the flies to eat them. Move your finger gently; the frog moves based on where you touch. Avoid the sturgeons (big fish).
