I have just started playing this game and have a question regarding the plot. I am now playing as Molly and I really do not comprehend the idea of her
flying around as a bird, then becoming a big fish and now a monster. In each case eating animals and then people. Does this concept come together in the story? Perhaps I am not seeing the big picture here. Thank you for any input.....

At this stage of your playthrough I don't think that you are necessarily supposed to understand fully what is going on.

You can find articles online that discuss the plot of the game and the significance of certain scenes, but for many here that information would be considered to be spoilers, so I will not post links to them here.

If anyone has some insights to share, please use spoiler tags if need be. wave12

You've hardly started. Each sibling has a story. None of the other siblings "go flying around" but there is a theme that links all the stories.

If you don't care about spoilers and would rather understand what happened in the game before playing through the game yourself, this video
-- "The Villain of Edith Finch" --
explains much of what happens in the game

What does the title mean? Which Edith does the title refer to? The woman who for most of the game is the player character... or the grandmother who is referred to as "Edie" in the game?

The answer to the question of "What Remains of Edith Finch" depends on which Edith you think the title refers to. If you think it's the player character, then the answer is the same as in the aforementioned video. If you think it's the grandmother Edie, then the answer is something else.

I stopped playing the game at that point. Not my cup of tea.

I recently finished this game and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I've played quite a few adventure games over the years and am always on the lookout for something
a little different and, I have to say, for my taste this game fit the bill.

I thought the graphics, the unique way of showing the dialogue and music were all very well done.

I'm hoping that the company that produced this game will come out with another - unless there is
already one out there.

The house, in particular, was interesting to travel through and to learn about the Finch family.

As with most games this particular one will not appeal to everyone but, as for me, it did.
