About this listen
What Remains of Edith Finch was released in 2017 amid a gaming public that had largely already dismissed the games genre. With no points, no combat, no puzzles, and no goal other than narrative progression, What Remains of Edith Finchs success came as a surprise to many. But for those who appreciated the power of a combat-less, story-driven video game, What Remains of Edith Finch would become a beacon for an emerging genre dubbed "walking simulators." Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live alumnus and host of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, says of the game, "its one of my favorite things... it's gonna change your life."
In Suddenly I was a Shark!: My Time with What Remains of Edith Finch, author, and lifelong video game enthusiast, Caleb J. Ross explores the life-changing impact of this unassuming video game about a young womans attempt to understand a curse that has killed every member of her family. By mixing developer interviews, personal stories, and examinations of the games many literary inspirations, Caleb delivers a powerful story of personal change via one of the most important walking simulator video games ever made.
