What Remains of Edith Finch

Developed by Giant Sparrow

Published by Annpurna Interactive

Music Composed by Jeff Russo

Josh and Chris start off our newest series 'Quest Complete' with What Remains of Edith Finch?'

In this series we play through games and then do dedicated episodes about the game, our journey through it, and our thoughts on the game.

Our episodes are completely original but this style of series was inspired by Duckfeed.tv, specifically 'What Out for Fireballs.'

Please check them out. They're one of Josh's favorite podcasts and are an important and crucial part of the video game podcast community.

Music used under fair use.
