Coming from Santa Monica-based developer Giant Sparrow, which is known for The Unfinished Swan, and published by Sony, What Remains of Edith Finch places you in the shoes of the titular woman as she tries to uncover the mystery surrounding the deaths of her family members. Each family member will have his or her own story, focusing on death and the supernatural.
Giant Sparrow recently revealed some of its inspirations and expectations for the game:
We’re very excited that our next game, What Remains of Edith Finch, will be available in Japanese. Although the game is set in the Pacific Northwest region of the US, many of our inspirations actually come from Japan. Two of our favorites are Ugetsu Monogatari and Kwaidan, two books of supernatural Japanese tales that were each turned into movies in the 50s/60s. Our game is a collection of tales that are meant to feel mysterious, unsettling, and strange, which is a feeling Japanese artists seem to capture really well. Some of our more recent inspirations include: The Woman in the Dunes, Kuroneko, and Junji Ito’s Uzumaki. Hopefully our game feels like nothing you’ve ever played before, but if any of it starts to seem a little familiar, and maybe even a bit Japanese, don’t be too surprised!
It will be released next year for PS4, and wow, is that one creepy trailer below.
