What Remains of Edith Finch (2017)
Game
Released
A family history told through its deaths, and more playful than that sounds. Edith returns to the Finch house, a crooked tower of sealed bedrooms on an island off Washington state, and each room opens one relative's last day as a short playable story with its own style and controls. The standout has your right hand guiding fish under a cannery guillotine while your left steers a daydream that slowly takes over the screen. There's no challenge to speak of and children are among the dead, but at around two hours it's the easiest single-evening pick here, and its closing minutes show why every room was worth opening.
