Howdy folks! We're taking a mini-break to go visit family, so we're posting this instead of RDR1. The next episode of RDR1 will be posted Tuesday :) Until then, enjoy the tears lol - Eric & Sarah
Lewis’s death hit me hard, but personally Barbara’s hit the most. While it’s embellished, what it seems like actually happened to her is the most chilling to me.
Removing all the monsters and fiction, it seems she was murdered. The news did say that a killer, who impaled and ate their victims, was loose. If we piece it together, Barbara was killed and eaten along with Rick, hence why an ear was left. Probably the reason why her body was never found too...
@@SakaDiKovVitch yes but there could be more to it the brother was scared and yelled why going up the stairs a roller skate fell which could symbolise that she was the one that slipped and died while going to her brothers room however the rest of the story was really stretched the boyfriend still alive but was "missing" after her death
Molly died from what she ate, the berries were real, and poisonous, the toothpaste back then had ingredient’s that weren’t great either, in combination all the things would have caused hallucinations and possibly death for a child of her age.
@@petthequeenofmaddness8592 honestly i like the idea that she was sick first, and to some extent aware of it, and processing it as a very funny imaginative child who wrote goofy stories. Cause if it's just "she was hallucinating" it's like, who was Molly, what did we even learn about her (besides which, it's actually quite hard to find evidence that holly has the effects people claim about it - and I think it's fairly clear we *dont* see specifically what she ate that killed her, if anything)
@@storageheater If her body was weak enough then the small amount of poisons might have done her in, There is also the possibility that her hamster "killed" her I think there was a report where a kid died from there pet rodent after it bit them.
@@petthequeenofmaddness8592 ooh, yeah infected bites are a fun option I hadn't considered. Yeah really the only thing I truly dislike is the claim it's all a hallucination - her room's full of magic castles and skulls and sharks, the kid's personality is right there lol
@@storageheater It could be a hallucination from the toxins in her room, there could be led or asbestos not just the holly berries and fluoride in her toothpaste and what if they gave her medicine, some back then could have some really bad side effects such as hallucination, paranoia and or mess with her appetite.
I like how incredibly thorough you were, I don’t know why, but it always annoys me how people that go through this game don’t look through the people first but that’s just me- I mean, once you realize you can why not it, it just gives you more context- it was kind of fun going through the first 40 minutes or so with you guys trying to keep track of who everyone is before you found out. There is a family tree.😂❤️✌️
I just noticed something after playing the game for a second time. When you first enter the house and you walk to the library and look through the peephole, she tells us that Edie always said everyone who ever died was burried in the library, even tho this statement is not true. I think what Edie wanted to tell Edith with that sentence is that all the stories of all the family members that had passed away stand for their death. So that was what Edie ment with everyone is burried in the library, cause her diary was in there...
I always thought it meant that you could find evidence of every family member in there. We know Dawn and Odin both published books. Sam probably had some photo albums in there. Biographies were probably written about Barbara. And of course books belonging to every member of the family.
Milton's disappearance is linked to another game by the same developers 'The Unfinished Swan' where he is the character 'The King'. If his flip-book is accurate he used his magic paintbrush to leave this world for that one.
I have another theory, Milton has schizophrenia and the door he drew in his flip book means he left the house , thought he was in a different world and either fell off of a cliff or died from lack of food and other recourses to survive
It would make an awesome movie but I actually think this game is the perfect example of how an interactive story experience through a video game can surpass film if done properly.
lewis's whole section is still one of the best use of gameplay to enhance the story impact ive ever seen. First you kinda struggle with doing the fish thing and wandering in your imagination at the same time but as it goes on you instinctually do the fish thing which makes us feel the monotonity of his life in a 15 minute section.
Lewis' story made me tear up when I first played it, and was probably my favourite, Gregory's story was a close second and almost brought me to tears as well. I teared up at the ending as well, the whole story was masterfully crafted with the utmost care and creativity; for the game to be this emotionally impactful in such a short space of time is a remarkable feat. I can't believe I teared up again whilst watching this playthrough as well, such a powerful game. I'm glad you both played it and I absolutely loved this playthrough!
As much of a sheer impact Lewis' story had on me the only story to make me cry was Walter's. Although Gus and Gregory's stories definitely made me feel pretty sad.
With the whole story going back and forth between fact and fiction I can imagine two stories to Milton. Fiction: He's in another game. Possible fact: He spent a lot of time looking for secret passage ways, but not all pathways in a house are somewhere you should enter. There are lots of stories out there of people who fell between the walls of their houses and died there. It's possible that could have happened to Milton. If where he fell was narrow enough, he wouldn't have been able to bang on the walls or even draw enough breath to yell.
@@TheDoodlingGirl Are you saying because he painted a door? Even that adds to the fantasy reason. But in a real life situation, kids draw random things all the time. Or it could suggest he's just obsessed with finding secret passages, and there's secret "doors" all over in this house Sven made. Anything can be a door when there's secrets.
@Senfree I was thinking the door could be the developers hint of what happened to Milton. Kids do paint randomly, but I think Milton was inspired by the secret passages he kept finding inside his home. Artists take inspiration from the environment around them. The house is a maze, and that could lead to Milton's fascination for puzzles and mazes. You can also tell that Milton was a very gifted kid as well, definitely if this story is related to the 'The Unfinished Swan' If Milton is the king, Milton was intelligent and arrogant. This pride could have been the reason he got stuck. Milton probably was warned not to explore the house, and did it anyway. The writer could be hinting about what actually happened through what you suggested. Milton found his way into a part of the house where he shouldn't go by accident, and got trapped there. It could be a clever solution to the mystery right under your nose. With all the exaggeration of the truth, the simple accident makes the most sense. (Also, this solution fits with the rests of the deaths in the family too...) There are many areas that may look like 'doors' to kids too that only when you climb into it, then you realize the fatal error. (Also, it is a great reason to seal all the doors to the different rooms too. This could be modern Edith's eery feeling about the house too. The more I think about it, the more this theory makes sense...)
If you calculate the exact dates on her gravestone, Edith Jr. was 17yrs 11mths and 4days old when she dies. It's so depressing, she would have been 18 in less than a full month, she wasn't even able to make it to a legal adult before she dies... Born: February 14th, 1999 Died: January 18th, 2017 I love this game so damn much. It's storytelling and world building is some my favorite in any game or even story I've seen. The tragedy is immaculate and awful all at the same time. Especially how they never tell everything, they never let that story about the night Edith was born be finished, there are a lot of questions never answered about the family members. And that's perfect, because it's incredibly realistic, most of us will never get the endings to stories we were told as kids, or even find out what stories were real or not, because we were relying on another family members memory to tell the stories accurately. And humans retellings are usually never completely accurate to real life, and the longer someone tells it, it usually gets less realistic, until it barely sounds real anymore. And ever generation has a different perspective of the story, so it's impossible to ever really know the truth of the stories you're told. And the way them believing made the curse real. If you get used to something awful, you tend to expect it at all times, it becomes the norm. And sometimes that can destroy you, like it did Walter for example. He let his fear control his life, and when he tried to live for himself, it was too late, he had wasted his life because he was scared. Rightfully so, but still. I love even the way the detail explains why Edith Sr. and Dawn dealt with the past so differently, it showed well how the past, and all the bad was more comforting to Edith Sr, she cared and wanted all of it to be known, to be revered, to be remembered by all, her stories are what kept her alive, what kept her sane in the deaths of everyone she loved, she kept them alive by remembering, that was how she coped. While Dawn was so traumatized from everyone she loved leaving and dieing around her, and being surrounded on all sides by dead people's memories, and sought to escape it however she could, she was terrified, and it got her. And how Edith Jr.'s coping mechanisms of stories was almost the reason so many of them became scared, because they didn't find the same comfort Edith Sr. did, they just saw ghosts all around them, memories of people long gone, everywhere, unable to escape the ghosts, and by the time they did, they feared becoming one of the ghosts. You notice the only one who never really seemed scared of death was Edith Sr., and she outlived them all. All of them either just had awful luck, were unhappy with their lives, or was running from their past, except Edith Sr., she lived and accepted it as it came, until she was finally left by herself, and died probably before that night even ended, her kryptonite (like how beung surrounded by death was the others fear) was being alone. I don't if any of that actually mattered to what happened to each of them, but I find it interesting how each story is told, how it represented each person in their perspective, or at least as close as possible. It's all explained from Edith Jr.'s perspective, so all of it is in her perspective, but still is able to be so unique to each person, and I genuinely love how they displayed that, it really comes across in the game. Sorry this is a ramble, I just really really love this game! I finished sobbing after getting to the end once again, and just had to comment. This game is so underrated Istg, I wish more people had the experience of playing it. It's one of those games you can't really ever forget, even if you want too because of the topics in it hurt sometimes to think about, but the details, the story, the humanity of the experiences, it is just too good to not remember.
The Finch deaths in chronological order of their deaths (I know, no one asked for this): Ingeborg, the wife of Odin and Edie's mother: *potentially passed away by child birth* Johann, the second child of Odin's and Ingeborg's and young brother of Edie's: *potentially died during child birth* Odin (1880 - 1937, aged 57) the father of Edie: *drowned by going down with the original house after setting sail with it to escape the family curse in Norway* Molly (1937 - 1947, aged 10) the first child of Edie's and Sven's; would've been the eldest sibling to the rest of Edie's children: *passed away when Barbra was 3 and was theoretically killed by food poisoning from consuming holly berries after being sent to bed with no dinner* Barbra - the child star (1944 - 1960, aged 16) the second child of Edie's and Sven's; young sister of Molly's; older sister to Sam & Calvin and Walter: *was murdered in the Finch house, where Walter witnessed it* Calvin - who wanted to be an astronaut (1950 - 1961, aged 11) a son of Edie's and Sven's; the twin brother of Sam's, younger brother of Barbra's, and older brother of Walter's; would've been an uncle to Dawn, Gus, and Gregory, and grand-uncle to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed a year after Barbra by accidentally flinging himself from a swing that was built next to a cliff* Sven - the family carver (1915 - 1964, aged 49) husband to Edie; father of Molly, Barbra, Sam & Calvin, and Walter; would've been Grandpa to Dawn, Gus, and Gregory; would've been Great-grandpa to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *was killed by the giant dragon slide he was building four years after Barbra's death and three years after Calvin's* Gregory (1976 - 1977, aged 1) a grandson to Edie; the third child of Sam and Kay; young brother to Dawn and Gus; would've been Uncle to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed away by drowning in a bathtub when there was no parental supervision* Gus (1969 - 1982, aged 13) a grandson to Edie; the second child of Sam and Kay; the young brother to Dawn and older brother to Gregory; would've been Uncle to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed away five years after Gregory on the wedding day of Sam and his new wife, was hit by debris during a storm* Sam - the photographer and hunter/military man (1950 - 1983, aged 33) a child of Edie and Sven; ex-husband to Kay; younger brother of Barbra's, twin brother of Calvin's, and older brother of Walter's; father to Dawn, Gus, and Gregory; would've been Grandpa to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed a year later after Gus while on a hunting trip with his daughter Dawn, was bucked off a cliff by a deer, his death mirrors Calvin's* Sanjay (???? - 2002, age unknown) the husband of Dawn and father of Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed away from an earthquake in India, to which Dawn then went back to the U.S. to live with Edie* Milton - the artist (1992 - 2003, aged 11) a great-grandson to Edie; a child of Dawn and Sanjay; young brother of Lewis and older brother of Edith: *disappeared a year after Sanjay's death and wasn't ever believed to be dead, at least not by Dawn* Walter (1952 - 2005) a child of Edie and Sven; younger brother to Barbra, Sam, & Calvin; Uncle to Dawn, Gus, and Gregory; a Grand-uncle to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed away two years after Milton went missing, was hit by a train when he decided to finally leave the Finch house after hiding under it for 30 years, witnessed Barbra's death and believed in the family curse hence why he went into hiding, I don't think he knew about Sam's passing nor about the existence of all of his his nieces and nephews* Lewis (1988 - 2010, aged 22) a great-grandson to Edie; a child of Dawn and Sanjay; older brother to Milton and Edith: *passed away by suicide from suffering severe depression caused by his father's death and Milton's disappearance* Edie (1917 - 2010, aged 93) the daughter of Odin and Ingeborg; older sister of newborn Johanne; the wife of Sven; mother to Molly, Barbara, Sam & Calvin, and Walter; Grandma to Dawn, Gus, and Gregory; Great-grandma to Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *passed away a little after Lewis' death, potentially from her drinking alcohol while on medication on the night Edith and her mom left* Dawn - the teacher and writer (1968 - 2016, aged 48) a grand-daughter of Edie and Sven; a child of Sam and Kay; older sister to Gus and Gregory; wife of Sanjay's and mother of Lewis, Milton, and Edith: *died from sickness six years after Lewis' and Edie's deaths* Edith (1999 - 2017, aged 18) the great-granddaughter of Edie; the daughter of Dawn and Sanjay; young sister of Lewis and Milton; mother to the last Finch: *passed away from child birth much like how Ingeborg did*
wow youre amazing also that whole sam's death being mirrored to calvins is so fascinating ; i truly think his twin brother's death impacted him for the rest of his life including his two sons deaths reminding me of calvin too (anyway im geeking out lol)
Was watching y'all play Firewatch and you guys were the third ones who referenced: What Remains of Edith Finch, so here I am, and right off the bat, not even 20 minutes in, and already this house has remind me of the real life Winchester Mansion. I would almost bet they took inspiration from that place.
No matter how many times I see this game I cry. Incredible game. You guys are fantastic. 👍🏼 I always interpreted the stories she told as fairy tale-like to lighten the tragedy and make them beautiful.
25:20 Impressive, you found a tunnel. 58:52 And then you were in the tunnel. Shame that you missed a huge hint at the same moment. 1:24:00 You got it. I'm so happy that somebody got it early-ish. The best story was Lewis' than Barbara's, but i'm glad you talked briefly about Walter's story being the saddest or turning point. It is incredible how creative Finch family was. Every member that lived to adulthood did write a book.
I randomly came across this game a few years ago on the Nintendo E-Shop and thought it looked neat so I bought it. It ended up being worth much more than I paid for it. Great game. Great story. Great characters!
I loved your rendition of the story; you both did a beautiful job! You definitely have a new fan here. I cried right along with both of you! Love this game and loved listening to your expert commentary on it. Thank you so much for something very special here.
Wow…the end of this game hits like a ton of bricks every time you see it. This game is a masterpiece of creativity and emotion! RDR2 is my favorite PS4 game of all time but this is easily number 2 for me. It is sad but I always come away so happy to have experienced it!
My fav game of all time, so glad I still keep finding new playthroughs. I'm only a few minutes in and I already love the way you approach this game, you seem to pay attention to details and not just run through everything :)
Same! It's kinda unhealthy how much I seek out new playthroughs of this game no matter how many ones I've watched 🤣but even from the intro alone I already knew I would enjoy this playthrough. I love when they take their time to explore through all possible dialogue and learn as much as they can about each detail!
2:15:37 Everyone is wearing black because Lewis is not only being crowned as prince Lewis but also is executing his real self and the cannery worker he hates so much
Ooh, I was waiting for you guys to play this game. I really like this game's visual design and its mechanics. And the story of this game is so unique that most of the time, it surprised me.
an absolute masterpiece - i've never seen anything quite like it - excellent playthrough - i've watched many others, and i'm still mesmerized by it all - thank you very much.
Loved the playthrough; it's the third one of WRoEF I've watched this week, and each brings a fresh take and new insights and theories. On my run through it, Molly's story was interesting, but so fantastical I missed a lot of things I now see watching others play. It was Calvin that really drew me in, but Gregory was a kick in the guts and Lewis finished me off. It's 6 months since I played it, but it's stuck with me, I wonder if you've found the same. I've never been one for watching others play games, but started recently after finishing Stray, which you should also definitely try. These emotional Indy games have a bigger impact on me than all the GTAs and Mass Effects out there. Thanks for this.
this game is one of those where some of the story is told through the details of the places and everything so it makes me so happy that you guys were making sure to check everything before continuing with the story
Ooh, I missed the stream, so I can't wait to watch this! I hope you guys enjoy your well-deserved break! See you guys soon, thank you for putting in so much effort to put out quality content for us ♥️
Wow both what remains of Edith Finch and firewatch were both amazing emotional Journeys for the both of you with Incredible stories and art I love them both. I'm seeing this game the first time in your video I've always seen it and thought the cover art looked interesting but I've never bought it or looked into it I can't believe it because I love narrative games especially ones with Incredible art styles and purpose. Thank you for that beautiful Journey hopefully I will catch more streams to you play more narrative games! 👍😁
I played this game the first time around in around 2018. I have always been a fan of Point-and-Click adventure games and games which have now earned the moniker "Walking Sims" really caught my attention that year. I'll recommend a few later but first about this game. I really love it, straight from the start. The one that now hits me the most is Gregory's because well... I have also lived through the loss of a child. Sam's was also tragic. As the dad of a girl, I can only imagine that his final thoughts would have been about Dawn. So I guess by extension, with these experiences and also having worked the mind numbing job of what working in a fish factory is, Lewis' story resonates with me. So really good all around. Now about other "walking sims" for you to try, first there is The Unfinished Swan which is by the same company (Giant Sparrow) and fits in with this game. Others are: Gone Home, Dear Esther, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and Datura, which may be a PS3 exclusive. Another recent game in a similar genre is Afterdream, and there is also The Forest Quartet. Interesting games.
This game is so tremendous. What a story, what an experience. So many layers to unpack, so many details to uncover on repeat playthroughs. Great reaction, you two. This is one that stays with you.
Edie Finch is such an interesting character. Rather than own up to her lethal levels of irresponsibility she nurtured and celebrated their "family curse". A convenient fantasy to shield the family from the crippling guilt of realizing they caused these deaths to happen. Think how weird it is to build the house like it is, with all these shrines to the dead. All the news stories she undoubtably took interviews for, making her "curse" feel all the more established in reality. I think when they left and she was alone she finally realized the truth, and took an overdose to escape the guilt.
I can tell I would love the gameplay of this game when the first thing you do is turn around and go towards the fence… shows that the player is someone who loves to capture every detail. 👏🏽💯
I don't know how you make a game that starts out feeling creepy and unnerving, keeps the same general pace, but then has you teary-eyed and genuinely emotional. That is probably the most brilliant... ANYTHING I have ever experienced. I'm sure there are all kinds of theories speculations as to what each little component means, and what the house as a whole represents as a metaphor in reality, but I think the game was so effective because it was a relatable and emotional rollercoaster. We've all dealt with personal tragedy, and sadness, and the mundane, and depression, and disorientation, and desperation, so I think the game is in fact a microcosm of life's struggles. Welcome to 2025.
If you think about it the ferry in the beginning of the game is very similar to the ship in Molly's story even if they aren't the same ship then you can tell they were made by the same company.
SPOILERS. So the list of the family and how they died/disappeared, Molly age 10 dehydration/poison(holly berries, fluoride rich toothpaste, and dried out carrot next to gerbil droppings), Sven age 45 crushed by dragon slide, Calvin age 11 either intentionally or unintentionally slingshot by swing, Barbara age 16 murdered, Walter age 53 hit by train, San age 33 thrown of cliff by stunned deer, Gregory age 1 drowned in bath tub, Gus age 13 out in storm/possibly crushed by totem pole, Milton age 11 disappeared/opened portal with magic paintbrush, Lewis age 22 accidental/unintentional suicide, Edie age 93 intentional suicide/ drinking wine while on medication, Dawn age 48 terminal illness, Edith age 17 complications in childbirth.
You guys should leave a link to your Twitch in the description, just a little tip to make it easier to find you, I didn't even know you guys streamed! Keep up the great content!
I played this for the first time last weekend and really loved it. Went to bed that night and woke up screaming from a nightmare that my brother had died, this is why I should not play games like this because they stay in my brain and punish me in my dreams
This just popped up in my recommended and I just had to watch the whole thing. Even tough I played it my self a few times and seen multiple play troughs the stories still get me every time, some are very relatable to me, not as actual events but on an emotional level. You did great by going over every detail and stopping fro time to time to theorize about the stories. Very much appreciated! Thanks for this 🥲👍 Will you please also play: The Unfinished Swan, from the same creators.
ok well the barbra one haunts me to this day because when i was little my sister made me play alone, in the basement (unfinished) with the lights off!!! but i’ve played this game over 50 times and finished it so :)
I really really appreciate yall playing this game but taking is seriously especially the "silly" ones like Barbara and Molly's stories. Like yeah they're silly, but some people will just mark them off as JUST silly. Thank you for playing this game so nicely
you both must be retired detectives... you examined every detailed of the game! xD but that brought a huge amount of information I overlooked when I played it... many parts of the story was cleverly woven into the scenery and the subtle details in the game… amazing…
Good game play !! These stories of what happened to the family members made my heart break 💔 and I cried I liked Barbara’s section with the crutch was cool but Gregory’s was so sad 😭 I balled my eyes out on that one and the others
Not sure if you'd be interested, but the sequel to this, "The Unfinished Swan" is an amazing game that has a great story as well. Same developer.. feels like it could be what happened to Milton?
I played this game about a year ago but really enjoyed watching you guys play. Please do a video on the game “A way out” it’s currently on game pass and you both can play it together!
I wasn't able to watch because I started getting 1st person motion sickness, but I looked up the story and it looks fun! If you like shirt playthroughs like this, I recommend Oxenfree. Really cool gameplay, very mysterious story, and it had me thinking about it for days afterwards. You should give it a try!
here to break down the deaths and any confusion!! Odin drowned with the house he built after his wife and son died. His only other child, Edie (Edith) and her husband Sven landed in Orcas island, right off from the shipwreck. At the time, their first child Molly had been born a few months prior. They finished the house, and then the first death struck. At this time, Molly had one other sister named Barbara. Barbara was about 3 years old when Molly had died. Molly was sent to bed without dinner 2 days after her 10th birthday, then decided to eat a series of nonedible things until eventually laying in her bed and dying. She was found the next morning. Then, when barbara was 6 when calvin and sam were born. 2 years later, Barbara is 8 and the twins are 2 when Walter is born. The first to die of these four kids was barbara. We don't know where the twins were at the time. She had to watch her other brother Walter while Sven was rushed to the emergency room. Barbara had broken up with her boyfriend, and later that night was eaten by cannibals. Walter had witnessed the ordeal, leading him to run away and hide for 30 years in the basement bunker. Sven dies sometime during the rest of this due to impact. A year after Barbara's death, Sam and Calvin now at age 11 are seen playing outside. Calvin loves space and wants to be an astronaut and fly. He then gives in to the crave he has for flying, spinning the swing over the tree branch to launch himself into the air. He dies from the fall and impact. Sam, now believing he is the only and last child to Edie and Sven, is miserable. He enlists in the military as soon as he can so then he doesn't have to deal with the pain that the room they shared had. He didn't know of Walter being right under his nose. After a long time, Sam meets Kay and gets a new room in the house. They marry and have their firstborn, a little girl they name Dawn. A while later, a boy they named Gus is born. Then Gregory is born. Gregory ends up drowning when he finds a way to fill the bathtub up again to continue playing. Right then Kay is busy divorcing Sam for unknown reasons. Gus is killed during the wedding between Sam and the unknown step mom. Gus is killed by impact when a pilar falls on him, smashing and crushing him. Dawn is horribly sad, moving as far away as she could up to the loft. She goes on a hunting trip with Sam some time around this. She kills a buck wich then threw Sam off the cliff and killing him from the impact of the fall. Dawn seeks comfort in religion, then quickly moves to India and meets Sanjay. They have their first born, a boy they call Lewis. then 4 years after Lewis's birth Milton is born. Milton is 7 and Lewis is 11 when Edith is born. Then, Sanjay died. Dawn brings her family back to the house reluctantly. 4 years later, Edith is 4 and Lewis is 15, Milton goes missing one day when he is 11. Only leaving a castle filled with paintings. However, he isn't actually dead. It is revealed to us how in each generation, only 1 child lives for a while. Lewis is killed by suicide. Edith by child birth while giving life to her son Christopher, as the fandom named him. In each line of the family tree, one person lives longer than the others. Everyone else dies around 10-11. Edie lives awhile along with Walter and Dawn. It is shown how Lewis and Edith die. There is a game that follows this, and it's about Milton. Go check out the unfinished Swan, and ty if you read all of this. I did a lot of math for this and I'm sorry I didn't give all the date stamps. Let me know if I missed anything. (Besides Walters death, he was just ran over by a train when Edith was 4. That part was clear in the game)
Will you ever play Telltales Game Of Thrones? I know absolutely no one talks about it. But it’s honestly one of the most underrated gems from telltale. It’s gory, intense, strategical, fun, the characters are likeable, the choices actually make big differences, and the story is soooo good. I don’t think it’s talked about because it’s overshadowed by TWD or Wolf Among Us. There hasn’t been a complete blind play through of the game in years, which is a shame.
@@missliss2581able Yup. I have been trying to get a PS3 disc and it ain't easy, that's for sure. Same with Minecraft story mode discs. I am looking for one with the DLC.
Amusing y'all second guessing yourselves in the beginning when you were literally correct lmao About Gregory and the bathroom, dawn probably closed it off because the hidden false wall was in there. But the question is how did any of them go to the bathroom because she sealed the doors when Edith was 4 Then again she might've sealed the bathroom and great grandma's room weeks before they left to try and force Edie into going to the nursing home. Still don't know how Edie had the time to make the peepholes and name plates though.
Howdy folks! We're taking a mini-break to go visit family, so we're posting this instead of RDR1. The next episode of RDR1 will be posted Tuesday :) Until then, enjoy the tears lol
- Eric & Sarah
Every time they said “I wish we had a family tree” in the beginning I couldn’t stop giggling.
Lewis’s death hit me hard, but personally Barbara’s hit the most. While it’s embellished, what it seems like actually happened to her is the most chilling to me.
Removing all the monsters and fiction, it seems she was murdered. The news did say that a killer, who impaled and ate their victims, was loose. If we piece it together, Barbara was killed and eaten along with Rick, hence why an ear was left. Probably the reason why her body was never found too...
@@SakaDiKovVitch And why her brother was so terrified.
@@SakaDiKovVitch yes but there could be more to it the brother was scared and yelled why going up the stairs a roller skate fell which could symbolise that she was the one that slipped and died while going to her brothers room however the rest of the story was really stretched the boyfriend still alive but was "missing" after her death
@@SakaDiKovVitch early in the story the news reporter says a gang of kids were “terrorizing the island”. the “monsters” were probably those kids.
@Hepy01 or it could be that she had a domestic argument with her boyfriend resulting in her slipping and dying while her boyfriend ran off in fear
Molly died from what she ate, the berries were real, and poisonous, the toothpaste back then had ingredient’s that weren’t great either, in combination all the things would have caused hallucinations and possibly death for a child of her age.
If you look at her hands it almost looks like small pox's or something so her immune system was already weak.
@@petthequeenofmaddness8592 honestly i like the idea that she was sick first, and to some extent aware of it, and processing it as a very funny imaginative child who wrote goofy stories. Cause if it's just "she was hallucinating" it's like, who was Molly, what did we even learn about her
(besides which, it's actually quite hard to find evidence that holly has the effects people claim about it - and I think it's fairly clear we *dont* see specifically what she ate that killed her, if anything)
@@storageheater If her body was weak enough then the small amount of poisons might have done her in, There is also the possibility that her hamster "killed" her I think there was a report where a kid died from there pet rodent after it bit them.
@@petthequeenofmaddness8592 ooh, yeah infected bites are a fun option I hadn't considered. Yeah really the only thing I truly dislike is the claim it's all a hallucination - her room's full of magic castles and skulls and sharks, the kid's personality is right there lol
@@storageheater It could be a hallucination from the toxins in her room, there could be led or asbestos not just the holly berries and fluoride in her toothpaste and what if they gave her medicine, some back then could have some really bad side effects such as hallucination, paranoia and or mess with her appetite.
I like how incredibly thorough you were, I don’t know why, but it always annoys me how people that go through this game don’t look through the people first but that’s just me- I mean, once you realize you can why not it, it just gives you more context- it was kind of fun going through the first 40 minutes or so with you guys trying to keep track of who everyone is before you found out. There is a family tree.😂❤️✌️
I just noticed something after playing the game for a second time. When you first enter the house and you walk to the library and look through the peephole, she tells us that Edie always said everyone who ever died was burried in the library, even tho this statement is not true. I think what Edie wanted to tell Edith with that sentence is that all the stories of all the family members that had passed away stand for their death. So that was what Edie ment with everyone is burried in the library, cause her diary was in there...
I always thought it meant that you could find evidence of every family member in there. We know Dawn and Odin both published books. Sam probably had some photo albums in there. Biographies were probably written about Barbara. And of course books belonging to every member of the family.
Milton's disappearance is linked to another game by the same developers 'The Unfinished Swan' where he is the character 'The King'. If his flip-book is accurate he used his magic paintbrush to leave this world for that one.
In fact, the music that plays in Milton's Tower is actually the theme music from The Unfinished Swan.
I have another theory, Milton has schizophrenia and the door he drew in his flip book means he left the house , thought he was in a different world and either fell off of a cliff or died from lack of food and other recourses to survive
I swear this game needs a movie i would watch. Bc i love movies that come from video games
It would make an awesome movie but I actually think this game is the perfect example of how an interactive story experience through a video game can surpass film if done properly.
lewis's whole section is still one of the best use of gameplay to enhance the story impact ive ever seen. First you kinda struggle with doing the fish thing and wandering in your imagination at the same time but as it goes on you instinctually do the fish thing which makes us feel the monotonity of his life in a 15 minute section.
Lewis' story made me tear up when I first played it, and was probably my favourite, Gregory's story was a close second and almost brought me to tears as well. I teared up at the ending as well, the whole story was masterfully crafted with the utmost care and creativity; for the game to be this emotionally impactful in such a short space of time is a remarkable feat.
I can't believe I teared up again whilst watching this playthrough as well, such a powerful game. I'm glad you both played it and I absolutely loved this playthrough!
This was such an emotional journey! Glad we got to play it and share our experience with you all :)
As much of a sheer impact Lewis' story had on me the only story to make me cry was Walter's. Although Gus and Gregory's stories definitely made me feel pretty sad.
With the whole story going back and forth between fact and fiction I can imagine two stories to Milton.
Fiction: He's in another game.
Possible fact: He spent a lot of time looking for secret passage ways, but not all pathways in a house are somewhere you should enter.
There are lots of stories out there of people who fell between the walls of their houses and died there. It's possible that could have happened to Milton. If where he fell was narrow enough, he wouldn't have been able to bang on the walls or even draw enough breath to yell.
This notion made me freeze up in honest to goodness horror
@@Hazbin-hotel-babe It is pretty horrifying. Those stories always give me the creeps.
That would make sense by finding a door..
@@TheDoodlingGirl Are you saying because he painted a door? Even that adds to the fantasy reason.
But in a real life situation, kids draw random things all the time. Or it could suggest he's just obsessed with finding secret passages, and there's secret "doors" all over in this house Sven made. Anything can be a door when there's secrets.
@Senfree I was thinking the door could be the developers hint of what happened to Milton. Kids do paint randomly, but I think Milton was inspired by the secret passages he kept finding inside his home. Artists take inspiration from the environment around them. The house is a maze, and that could lead to Milton's fascination for puzzles and mazes. You can also tell that Milton was a very gifted kid as well, definitely if this story is related to the 'The Unfinished Swan' If Milton is the king, Milton was intelligent and arrogant. This pride could have been the reason he got stuck. Milton probably was warned not to explore the house, and did it anyway. The writer could be hinting about what actually happened through what you suggested. Milton found his way into a part of the house where he shouldn't go by accident, and got trapped there. It could be a clever solution to the mystery right under your nose. With all the exaggeration of the truth, the simple accident makes the most sense. (Also, this solution fits with the rests of the deaths in the family too...) There are many areas that may look like 'doors' to kids too that only when you climb into it, then you realize the fatal error. (Also, it is a great reason to seal all the doors to the different rooms too. This could be modern Edith's eery feeling about the house too. The more I think about it, the more this theory makes sense...)
If you calculate the exact dates on her gravestone, Edith Jr. was 17yrs 11mths and 4days old when she dies. It's so depressing, she would have been 18 in less than a full month, she wasn't even able to make it to a legal adult before she dies...
Born: February 14th, 1999
Died: January 18th, 2017
I love this game so damn much. It's storytelling and world building is some my favorite in any game or even story I've seen. The tragedy is immaculate and awful all at the same time. Especially how they never tell everything, they never let that story about the night Edith was born be finished, there are a lot of questions never answered about the family members. And that's perfect, because it's incredibly realistic, most of us will never get the endings to stories we were told as kids, or even find out what stories were real or not, because we were relying on another family members memory to tell the stories accurately. And humans retellings are usually never completely accurate to real life, and the longer someone tells it, it usually gets less realistic, until it barely sounds real anymore. And ever generation has a different perspective of the story, so it's impossible to ever really know the truth of the stories you're told.
And the way them believing made the curse real. If you get used to something awful, you tend to expect it at all times, it becomes the norm. And sometimes that can destroy you, like it did Walter for example. He let his fear control his life, and when he tried to live for himself, it was too late, he had wasted his life because he was scared. Rightfully so, but still.
I love even the way the detail explains why Edith Sr. and Dawn dealt with the past so differently, it showed well how the past, and all the bad was more comforting to Edith Sr, she cared and wanted all of it to be known, to be revered, to be remembered by all, her stories are what kept her alive, what kept her sane in the deaths of everyone she loved, she kept them alive by remembering, that was how she coped.
While Dawn was so traumatized from everyone she loved leaving and dieing around her, and being surrounded on all sides by dead people's memories, and sought to escape it however she could, she was terrified, and it got her. And how Edith Jr.'s coping mechanisms of stories was almost the reason so many of them became scared, because they didn't find the same comfort Edith Sr. did, they just saw ghosts all around them, memories of people long gone, everywhere, unable to escape the ghosts, and by the time they did, they feared becoming one of the ghosts.
You notice the only one who never really seemed scared of death was Edith Sr., and she outlived them all. All of them either just had awful luck, were unhappy with their lives, or was running from their past, except Edith Sr., she lived and accepted it as it came, until she was finally left by herself, and died probably before that night even ended, her kryptonite (like how beung surrounded by death was the others fear) was being alone. I don't if any of that actually mattered to what happened to each of them, but I find it interesting how each story is told, how it represented each person in their perspective, or at least as close as possible. It's all explained from Edith Jr.'s perspective, so all of it is in her perspective, but still is able to be so unique to each person, and I genuinely love how they displayed that, it really comes across in the game.
Sorry this is a ramble, I just really really love this game! I finished sobbing after getting to the end once again, and just had to comment. This game is so underrated Istg, I wish more people had the experience of playing it. It's one of those games you can't really ever forget, even if you want too because of the topics in it hurt sometimes to think about, but the details, the story, the humanity of the experiences, it is just too good to not remember.
“rightfully so, but still”???? what a cruel thing to say.
I relate a lot to Lewis' story. I used to maladaptive daydream a lot myself. Most my life, actually.
The Finch deaths in chronological order of their deaths (I know, no one asked for this):
Ingeborg, the wife of Odin and Edie's mother: *potentially passed away by child birth*
Johann, the second child of Odin's and Ingeborg's and young brother of Edie's: *potentially died during child birth*

wow youre amazing also that whole sam's death being mirrored to calvins is so fascinating ; i truly think his twin brother's death impacted him for the rest of his life including his two sons deaths reminding me of calvin too (anyway im geeking out lol)
Was watching y'all play Firewatch and you guys were the third ones who referenced: What Remains of Edith Finch, so here I am, and right off the bat, not even 20 minutes in, and already this house has remind me of the real life Winchester Mansion. I would almost bet they took inspiration from that place.
No matter how many times I see this game I cry. Incredible game. You guys are fantastic. 👍🏼 I always interpreted the stories she told as fairy tale-like to lighten the tragedy and make them beautiful.
25:20 Impressive, you found a tunnel. 58:52 And then you were in the tunnel. Shame that you missed a huge hint at the same moment.
1:24:00 You got it. I'm so happy that somebody got it early-ish.
The best story was Lewis' than Barbara's, but i'm glad you talked briefly about Walter's story being the saddest or turning point.
It is incredible how creative Finch family was. Every member that lived to adulthood did write a book.
I randomly came across this game a few years ago on the Nintendo E-Shop and thought it looked neat so I bought it. It ended up being worth much more than I paid for it. Great game. Great story. Great characters!
24:00
At this point, I was like, "Damn!" This family is way bigger than my brain can handle. 😅
I’m so happy almost seven years later it’s still popular I love this game
I loved your rendition of the story; you both did a beautiful job! You definitely have a new fan here.
I cried right along with both of you! Love this game and loved listening to your expert commentary on it. Thank you so much for something very special here.
Wow…the end of this game hits like a ton of bricks every time you see it. This game is a masterpiece of creativity and emotion! RDR2 is my favorite PS4 game of all time but this is easily number 2 for me. It is sad but I always come away so happy to have experienced it!
My fav game of all time, so glad I still keep finding new playthroughs. I'm only a few minutes in and I already love the way you approach this game, you seem to pay attention to details and not just run through everything :)
Same! It's kinda unhealthy how much I seek out new playthroughs of this game no matter how many ones I've watched 🤣but even from the intro alone I already knew I would enjoy this playthrough. I love when they take their time to explore through all possible dialogue and learn as much as they can about each detail!
2:15:37 Everyone is wearing black because Lewis is not only being crowned as prince Lewis but also is executing his real self and the cannery worker he hates so much
Ooh, I was waiting for you guys to play this game.
I really like this game's visual design and its mechanics.
And the story of this game is so unique that most of the time, it surprised me.
an absolute masterpiece - i've never seen anything quite like it - excellent playthrough - i've watched many others, and i'm still mesmerized by it all - thank you very much.
One of my favorite games of all time! So happy you guys played this and enjoyed it!
Recently finished the game. Found you guys because I kept looking at playthroughs and reactions. I love how you guys covered this.
Loved the playthrough; it's the third one of WRoEF I've watched this week, and each brings a fresh take and new insights and theories.
On my run through it, Molly's story was interesting, but so fantastical I missed a lot of things I now see watching others play. It was Calvin that really drew me in, but Gregory was a kick in the guts and Lewis finished me off. It's 6 months since I played it, but it's stuck with me, I wonder if you've found the same.
I've never been one for watching others play games, but started recently after finishing Stray, which you should also definitely try. These emotional Indy games have a bigger impact on me than all the GTAs and Mass Effects out there.
Thanks for this.
LoL randomly got recommended this vid. The end was great "I love you" "me too, hope you don't fall off a cliff" "me too jeez" *rolls outro*
this game is one of those where some of the story is told through the details of the places and everything so it makes me so happy that you guys were making sure to check everything before continuing with the story
5:43 This is why your channel is becoming one of my favorites.
Yay. I agree with everything you said, It destroyed me emotionally as well when i first played it and i really love it personally.
Ooh, I missed the stream, so I can't wait to watch this! I hope you guys enjoy your well-deserved break! See you guys soon, thank you for putting in so much effort to put out quality content for us ♥️
Dam.. Great catch Eric! Neil Druckmann! Had to google and apparently it was him. Now LOU2's story made more sense even. hehe
Wow both what remains of Edith Finch and firewatch were both amazing emotional Journeys for the both of you with Incredible stories and art I love them both. I'm seeing this game the first time in your video I've always seen it and thought the cover art looked interesting but I've never bought it or looked into it I can't believe it because I love narrative games especially ones with Incredible art styles and purpose. Thank you for that beautiful Journey hopefully I will catch more streams to you play more narrative games! 👍😁
I played this game the first time around in around 2018. I have always been a fan of Point-and-Click adventure games and games which have now earned the moniker "Walking Sims" really caught my attention that year. I'll recommend a few later but first about this game. I really love it, straight from the start. The one that now hits me the most is Gregory's because well... I have also lived through the loss of a child. Sam's was also tragic. As the dad of a girl, I can only imagine that his final thoughts would have been about Dawn. So I guess by extension, with these experiences and also having worked the mind numbing job of what working in a fish factory is, Lewis' story resonates with me. So really good all around.
Now about other "walking sims" for you to try, first there is The Unfinished Swan which is by the same company (Giant Sparrow) and fits in with this game. Others are: Gone Home, Dear Esther, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and Datura, which may be a PS3 exclusive. Another recent game in a similar genre is Afterdream, and there is also The Forest Quartet. Interesting games.
This game is so tremendous. What a story, what an experience. So many layers to unpack, so many details to uncover on repeat playthroughs. Great reaction, you two. This is one that stays with you.
Edie Finch is such an interesting character. Rather than own up to her lethal levels of irresponsibility she nurtured and celebrated their "family curse". A convenient fantasy to shield the family from the crippling guilt of realizing they caused these deaths to happen. Think how weird it is to build the house like it is, with all these shrines to the dead. All the news stories she undoubtably took interviews for, making her "curse" feel all the more established in reality. I think when they left and she was alone she finally realized the truth, and took an overdose to escape the guilt.
i have to agree with everything but your last sentence. she simply didn’t want to leave her house and it’s ghosts. she didn’t feel guilty at all.
Played this game last weekend and wow…it’s so dark
Tack!
Thank you for this!!
I can tell I would love the gameplay of this game when the first thing you do is turn around and go towards the fence… shows that the player is someone who loves to capture every detail. 👏🏽💯
I don't know how you make a game that starts out feeling creepy and unnerving, keeps the same general pace, but then has you teary-eyed and genuinely emotional. That is probably the most brilliant... ANYTHING I have ever experienced. I'm sure there are all kinds of theories speculations as to what each little component means, and what the house as a whole represents as a metaphor in reality, but I think the game was so effective because it was a relatable and emotional rollercoaster. We've all dealt with personal tragedy, and sadness, and the mundane, and depression, and disorientation, and desperation, so I think the game is in fact a microcosm of life's struggles.
Welcome to 2025.
If you think about it the ferry in the beginning of the game is very similar to the ship in Molly's story even if they aren't the same ship then you can tell they were made by the same company.
SPOILERS. So the list of the family and how they died/disappeared,
Molly age 10 dehydration/poison(holly berries, fluoride rich toothpaste, and dried out carrot next to gerbil droppings),
Sven age 45 crushed by dragon slide,
Calvin age 11 either intentionally or unintentionally slingshot by swing,
Barbara age 16 murdered,
Walter age 53 hit by train,
San age 33 thrown of cliff by stunned deer,
Gregory age 1 drowned in bath tub,
Gus age 13 out in storm/possibly crushed by totem pole,
Milton age 11 disappeared/opened portal with magic paintbrush,
Lewis age 22 accidental/unintentional suicide,
Edie age 93 intentional suicide/ drinking wine while on medication,
Dawn age 48 terminal illness,
Edith age 17 complications in childbirth.
You guys should leave a link to your Twitch in the description, just a little tip to make it easier to find you, I didn't even know you guys streamed! Keep up the great content!
I played this for the first time last weekend and really loved it. Went to bed that night and woke up screaming from a nightmare that my brother had died, this is why I should not play games like this because they stay in my brain and punish me in my dreams
I won't lie, these mfs keep hitting me in the heart, especially Lewis, Gregory, and Gus
This just popped up in my recommended and I just had to watch the whole thing. Even tough I played it my self a few times and seen multiple play troughs the stories still get me every time, some are very relatable to me, not as actual events but on an emotional level. You did great by going over every detail and stopping fro time to time to theorize about the stories. Very much appreciated! Thanks for this 🥲👍
Will you please also play: The Unfinished Swan, from the same creators.
Really enjoyed this game it surprised me and any game my girlfriend plays and loves will always be special to me
Absolutely adore your channel ❤ glad y’all appreciated this game too. I get why it’s polarising but it really affected me and I think about it often 💕
ok well the barbra one haunts me to this day because when i was little my sister made me play alone, in the basement (unfinished) with the lights off!!! but i’ve played this game over 50 times and finished it so :)
I really really appreciate yall playing this game but taking is seriously especially the "silly" ones like Barbara and Molly's stories. Like yeah they're silly, but some people will just mark them off as JUST silly. Thank you for playing this game so nicely
What a treat guys ,thank you
you both must be retired detectives... you examined every detailed of the game! xD but that brought a huge amount of information I overlooked when I played it... many parts of the story was cleverly woven into the scenery and the subtle details in the game… amazing…
Good game play !! These stories of what happened to the family members made my heart break 💔 and I cried I liked Barbara’s section with the crutch was cool but Gregory’s was so sad 😭 I balled my eyes out on that one and the others
Not sure if you'd be interested, but the sequel to this, "The Unfinished Swan" is an amazing game that has a great story as well. Same developer.. feels like it could be what happened to Milton?
I played this game about a year ago but really enjoyed watching you guys play. Please do a video on the game “A way out” it’s currently on game pass and you both can play it together!
I wasn't able to watch because I started getting 1st person motion sickness, but I looked up the story and it looks fun!
If you like shirt playthroughs like this, I recommend Oxenfree. Really cool gameplay, very mysterious story, and it had me thinking about it for days afterwards. You should give it a try!
I wish they got to finish the grandmas story before Edith and her mom left the house
I love this video.
here to break down the deaths and any confusion!!
Odin drowned with the house he built after his wife and son died. His only other child, Edie (Edith) and her husband Sven landed in Orcas island, right off from the shipwreck. At the time, their first child Molly had been born a few months prior. They finished the house, and then the first death struck. At this time, Molly had one other sister named Barbara. Barbara was about 3 years old when Molly had died. Molly was sent to bed without dinner 2 days after her 10th birthday, then decided to eat a series of nonedible things until eventually laying in her bed and dying. She was found the next morning. Then, when barbara was 6 when calvin and sam were born. 2 years later, Barbara is 8 and the twins are 2 when Walter is born. The first to die of these four kids was barbara. We don't know where the twins were at the time. She had to watch her other brother Walter while Sven was rushed to the emergency room. Barbara had broken up with her boyfriend, and later that night was eaten by cannibals. Walter had witnessed the ordeal, leading him to run away and hide for 30 years in the basement bunker. Sven dies sometime during the rest of this due to impact. A year after Barbara's death, Sam and Calvin now at age 11 are seen playing outside. Calvin loves space and wants to be an astronaut and fly. He then gives in to the crave he has for flying, spinning the swing over the tree branch to launch himself into the air. He dies from the fall and impact. Sam, now believing he is the only and last child to Edie and Sven, is miserable. He enlists in the military as soon as he can so then he doesn't have to deal with the pain that the room they shared had. He didn't know of Walter being right under his nose. After a long time, Sam meets Kay and gets a new room in the house. They marry and have their firstborn, a little girl they name Dawn. A while later, a boy they named Gus is born. Then Gregory is born. Gregory ends up drowning when he finds a way to fill the bathtub up again to continue playing. Right then Kay is busy divorcing Sam for unknown reasons. Gus is killed during the wedding between Sam and the unknown step mom. Gus is killed by impact when a pilar falls on him, smashing and crushing him. Dawn is horribly sad, moving as far away as she could up to the loft. She goes on a hunting trip with Sam some time around this. She kills a buck wich then threw Sam off the cliff and killing him from the impact of the fall. Dawn seeks comfort in religion, then quickly moves to India and meets Sanjay. They have their first born, a boy they call Lewis. then 4 years after Lewis's birth Milton is born. Milton is 7 and Lewis is 11 when Edith is born. Then, Sanjay died. Dawn brings her family back to the house reluctantly. 4 years later, Edith is 4 and Lewis is 15, Milton goes missing one day when he is 11. Only leaving a castle filled with paintings. However, he isn't actually dead. It is revealed to us how in each generation, only 1 child lives for a while. Lewis is killed by suicide. Edith by child birth while giving life to her son Christopher, as the fandom named him. In each line of the family tree, one person lives longer than the others. Everyone else dies around 10-11. Edie lives awhile along with Walter and Dawn. It is shown how Lewis and Edith die. There is a game that follows this, and it's about Milton. Go check out the unfinished Swan, and ty if you read all of this. I did a lot of math for this and I'm sorry I didn't give all the date stamps. Let me know if I missed anything. (Besides Walters death, he was just ran over by a train when Edith was 4. That part was clear in the game)
YES!
I cried
I have never heard of this game
It’s driving me crazy that you so desperately want a family tree because if you’d just pause the game, you’d have one 😭
I think Milton pulled an uncle bruno.
Whaaat?! Edith Finch! Let's gooo
Is your first playthrough online?
This is their first playthrough, you just have to get past the intro explaining it was edited down from a twitch stream.
Hey, what happened to the film reactions? 🙁
We’re taking a break from it, but we’ll be back soon!
Will you ever play Telltales Game Of Thrones? I know absolutely no one talks about it. But it’s honestly one of the most underrated gems from telltale. It’s gory, intense, strategical, fun, the characters are likeable, the choices actually make big differences, and the story is soooo good. I don’t think it’s talked about because it’s overshadowed by TWD or Wolf Among Us. There hasn’t been a complete blind play through of the game in years, which is a shame.
The game is kind of discontinued. You can’t buy a new copy anymore and second hand copies are pretty expensive
@@missliss2581able Yup. I have been trying to get a PS3 disc and it ain't easy, that's for sure. Same with Minecraft story mode discs. I am looking for one with the DLC.
Amusing y'all second guessing yourselves in the beginning when you were literally correct lmao
About Gregory and the bathroom, dawn probably closed it off because the hidden false wall was in there. But the question is how did any of them go to the bathroom because she sealed the doors when Edith was 4
Then again she might've sealed the bathroom and great grandma's room weeks before they left to try and force Edie into going to the nursing home.
Still don't know how Edie had the time to make the peepholes and name plates though.
This game is amazing! And so are you two
