What Remains of Edith Finch Vinyl Soundtrack | Available Q2 2018, $28 – PRE-ORDERS NOW OPEN at iam8bit.com
The musical cadence of What Remains of Edith Finch is deliberately slow, immensely methodical and eventually, cathartic. Once you reach its bittersweet and triumphant conclusion, the score, at first so somber, achieves something few soundtracks do – taking the listener on a robust emotional journey.

Who IS Edith Finch?
Edith is the game’s protagonist who is in search of her family’s past. The game is a collection of different stories, each including its own visual look and gameplay mechanics. Edith is trying to find out why she is the only one left.
As you play, you become one of several of her family members. You experience their lives and see them on the day of their death. Some chapters are in the distant past, others in the present time.

It’s a lovely game and the soundtrack that they have is beautiful, definitely worth getting a physical copy with all the freebies if you haven’t gotten it yet, there’s no replay value though, so I’m a bit stretched in getting it. 🙁
