What Remains Of Edith Finch is great. Rolling a shark down a hill. Gutting fish while pretending to be a king. That bit with the Halloween soundtrack. What. A. Game. Such is the indie hit’s quality and influence, people have started recreating its iconic house in The Sims 4. Just look at the video below—be warned there are major story spoilers in there...
YouTuber Jess Harts has recreated an utterly amazing version of Edith’s forest cabin. One of the most thematically complex hub areas in the history of games, the mansion acts as a portal to fantastical worlds.
Each member of the Finch family has their own room, and these boudoirs lead to consistently inventive fantasies. How you build that in The Sims 4 I don’t know. Yet somehow, Jess recreated the whole thing in 14 hours.
The Sims 4 truly is an endlessly pliable, wonderfully creative tool. Jess Harts has just reaffirmed the game’s most likely limitless shelf life. Also, you should absolutely buy What Remains Of Edith Finch if you’ve never played it. It’s one of the most captivating indie adventures of the last decade.
Thanks, RPS.
