However, since she was able to write about what happened to her in her diary, it is more likely that she hallucinated becoming those animals and that she died soon after writing about it.īarbara’s story is one of the best in Giant Sparrow’s game. Some other theories includes the suggestion that it was a fever dream and she died in her sleep, or that she went looking for food outside her window and fell to her death. The most likely explanation is that some of what she ate (berries, toothpaste, gerbil food) poisoned her and she began to hallucinate these strange happenings, wrote about it in her journal, and died from the effects. She returns to her room where she is writing about what has happened to her while the monster waits for her under her bed. As she attempts to seek food, she becomes a cat that chases a bird, an owl that swoops after rabbits, a shark that hunts a seal, and a sea monster that eats people.

Edith has returned to find out what happened to each member of her perennially unlucky family. As Edith, we return to the family home, where the Finches had lived for more than a century after their first house sank just off the shore after they emigrated from Europe. The story that Giant Sparrow has created for What Remains of Edith Finch is simple, but beautifully told.
