≪What Remains of Edith Finch≫ baby steps guys baby steps ft. FAUNA 

“Turns out there curse was bad parenting” This is the message of the game for me, self fulfilling prophecies and basic negligence

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to get legitimately scared by this game, but once again, Bae proves me wrong on that front.

Fauna being such a protective mommy at the bathtub portion and Bae holding back tears afterwards was a kino moment.

Fauna at the start: "This reminds me of A Series of Unfortunate Events" After watching the stream yeah, I think that's pretty accurate.

This was a surprisingly emotional stream, not in the spooky sense, but in a sad yet bittersweet way.

The real friends were the family we lost along the way. This game may not fit exactly within the realm of horror but it's quite impactful despite it all.

Bae : "why won't mom tell me these stories, she's weird man" Also bae to edith : "whaaa? You're gonna tell your child how all our family died?"

"I am going to go stare at a wall for like 2 hours now" Same Bae, same, what a rollercoaster of a game. Looking forward to the spooky month ahead!

Can we go back to the jumpscares? I can laugh at scared Bae but crying Bae broke me...

Now that I think about it.. yeah... Molly was hungry but was left alone and was never let out, leading to hear eating something poisonous. Calvin's was an accident (but his brother should've atleast brought him back with his broken leg and all) Barbara was left alone to fend for herself while a murderer was loose, and was murdered. Sven cared more for his work than his family which backfired when his project literally fell on him. Walter was just sealed off instead of being taken into a psychiatrist. Gregory was bad parenting 101 Gus was left outside while there was a storm. Sam forcing Dawn to go to something she didn't even enjoy ( and traumatised her ). Dawn got too overprotective. Milton ran away due to Dawn's overprotectiveness. Lewis was depressed and turned to drug use which only got intervened when he got addicted ( which is so effed up ngl ). Edith got pregnant as a minor. And Edie died the moment she knew the family was officially broken.

Man what a story that was... I came here for frights and left with existential dread. I guess that's also a type of horror. Bae's reaction to Gregory hit me especially hard, the helplessness of watching it all unfold and seeing how much it affected Bae really broke me

This family isn't cursed, they just have a complete disregard for basic health and safety.

The story of Baby Gregory and Lewis in the cannery were terrifying and saddening because how relatable those are. but the presentation is quite beautiful that it'll left a long impression and give me the after movie depression for few days

I love how Fauna is just an adorable standup comedian and Bae literally scared of everything, I love the story of this game.

Bae's reaction at scene 1:55:30 really made me and everyone watching at our home silent... I mean it is depressing but I find it her reaction really sweet and really bighearted... Not everybody could express themselves freely as sometimes, doing so takes a lot of courage and pride

I never realized how much Holomyth representation is found in Molly’s story.

could you imagine if bae broke down and she was still wearing the pasta shell

I felt my heart getting torn apart slowly as the game progressed. Really loved how it presented its storytelling and this game had more impact on me than any horror game has so far

Joseph Anderson has a great video on this game too if you are interested. What really makes me feel bad is how the psychiatrist must feel. I understand that it's mostly a joke when we say that she did a terrible job, but she obviously feels very guilty about the whole ordeal. She thought the daydreaming was helping him get over his substance abuse, but it only turned out to be destructive in the end.

This was a great play through, I'm really happy you went through it with Fauna. I think that every story had a bit of truth to all their deaths. Some of them were obvious, like the baby in the bathtub, but others took a bit more thought like Walter being traumatized by Barbara's murder and spending decades alone under the house afraid of "monsters" which wound up just being the train shaking the house... This stream also showed the affect of the players' perceptions on the game. Until the baby story, I think Bae was seeing it as too much of a horror game to get emotionally invested, but after that touching moment she seemed to delve further into the deeper meanings of the stories. Or maybe I just over-analyzed it while watching, lol I love Bae and Fauna's chemistry and can't wait until the next collab ❤💚

Thank you for bravely streaming this depressing game with Fauna, Bae. Feel very sorry for that one part where the mom had to leave the baby in the bath tub just to answer the phone.

The dangers of self fulfilling prophecy, one of my all time favourite pieces of media/art.

This is one of those games where you just feel empty inside after. So sad. Going to stare at a wall for two hours indeed

Normally Halloween is thought of for it's spooks and horror. But the mourning and remembrance of the dead being another theme/aspect of the holiday would make a good argument for why this game would be worth playing as part of the Halloween series (unless you're specifically looking for games that'll spook Bae which I guess still counts for this game in the end). That all said, thanks for the stream!

Oh this was pain man. I remember playing this game way back when by myself in a single session. It sucker punches you in the feels so bad, especially the Gregory part.. I almost cried with you.

Something that didn't come up in the chat during the stream, Milton's deal, including disappearing into one of his own paintings, is a reference to one of the developer's other games, The Unfinished Swan. It's a puzzle platformer game built around painting things to progress. In that game, there is a King character you meet toward the end of the game, who looks like an older version of Milton (not to mention, that Milton's portrait is wearing a crown). It's obviously up to interpretation if it IS Milton or just a cute reference.

You have such a big heart, Bae. Don't ever let anyone take that from you.

Great stream! I had heard of this game before, but I didn't realize how good of an emotional and psychological experience it would be! The stories were really tragic, even if they didn't quite happen as the game shows them... there's no denying that they're all tragedies. Excited for the rest of the month of horrors!

by the end of this month we'll be finding out what remains of Hakos Baelz

Thank you girls for playing this game and for getting so involved in it. I always wanted to play it but never had the time to do so. I'm glad we got to watch you streaming it today, even though it wasn't really a horror game. It was heartbreaking but a nice memory nonetheless. Probably one of my favorite stream from the rat-kirin duo

Bae is the kind of person to get scared of the idea of being scared, so it just snowballs and snowballs until she's absolutely petrified at literally nothing.

It's incredible how much of horror is in your in head. At no point was I even mildly unsettled while playing myself. xD

I absolutely adore this game. I must have bought it for at least like 10 people just so more people can experience it. Any time a streamer I watch plays it, I make sure to watch the entire stream. There are so many hits to the feels, but Lewis' story is always the one I like the best. His story hits pretty close to home for me and I love that you play a second game while doing his job at the cannery. I hope anyone who watched the stream and enjoyed the story recommends the game to someone they think would like it.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this game, but wow that was a roller coaster of a stream for sure. A solid game for the first week of Month of Horrors! 1:56:01

How did i miss this?!? if it wasn't for a clipper, i would probably never have known this stream happened, thank you clippers for all the great work that helps promote these companies talents, this industry would be missing a leg without you's!

I really hope someone does a compilation of all the times that Bae got scared off absolutely nothing

Good to know even opening doors are one of the things that can scare Bae

1:31:34 that moment of realization that the "curse" has gotten into bae subconsciously lol

In regards to Molly: The berries she eats in the windowsill are Holly. Holly is typically used as a holiday decoration, but the berries are poisonous. Combined with a considerable amount of toothpaste, and some old vegetables... It's likely that she was poisoned by the stuff she ate.

This is the third playthrough of the game I've watched and it still had an emotional impact. What an artistic gem. Great commentary you two! I adore your collabs every single time, keep it up!

It's another one of those cases where it's only spooky 'til you know what the deal is. at which point it is a much different kind of spooky. Hope the emotional damage settles

I'm really sorry you got so upset Bae, the drowning scene was definitely upsetting for all of us. I hope you get some cheering up after that, and I'm definitely looking forward to your sharing all the theories about this game in a future zatsu!

Gregory's story was really sad and infuriating.

Forget Hawaii this family needs Tahiti I hear its a magical place

Wow, never heard of this game before but what a masterpiece. Beautiful visuals, excellent storytelling, and wonderful artistic choices. I even like the fact that its so short since playing it in more than one sitting would definitely take away from the experience. But its not so short that you feel things were left out. 10/10 I loved it

Seeing you get really sad hit hard Can't believe all the devs died in their childhood and couldn't take grown-up photos after finishing the game. Are you really playing Amnesia? It's my favorite horror game!

2:29:40 Holding a psychiatrist responsible for a patients death feels similar to holding a doctor responsible for for their patients deaths. Sure sometimes it's clear misconduct but.

Honestly the game was a surprise. Thank you for the stream 💚♥️

edith finch may not be a horror game in the traditional sense but it definitely has psychological horror elements, but its a great game and nice to see bae and fauna play through it

This game is such a journey and still has such an emotional and psychological impact. Glad I got to re-experience it with Bae and Fauna. Looking forward to more spooky month!❤💚

Thanks for part 2 of the Halloween series Bae and Fauna! It was a ride seeing the game unfold with you and the baby scene was so sad. I hope you enjoy the theory videos, take care!

Watching you guys reminds me of my childhood. I remember playing a horror game called Land of the Dead in a dark room with like 5 friends. We took turns playing the game because we were so scared. It seems silly now but it's also one of my most cherished memories. Thank you for streaming.

1:04:23 - This needs to be 10 hour looped

This game was a rollercoaster of emotions for me, good god did they make something so bittersweet

Thank you two for the stream! I remember watching a playthrough of this awhile ago, and it's a pretty interesting game. Definitely some real sad moments too

I wasn't expecting to get so sad today... Thanks for streaming, you two.

Thank you for the stream bae! didn't expect this stream to be so emotional can't wait for the next stream

Man, this game was something else. It wasn't a horror game but I think it scared us in a unique way thanks to how the story was told, now I see why this game got so much praise. Thanks for an amazing stream Bae and Fauna. Looking forward to the next instalment of Month of Horrors!

I loooove this game, thank you so much for streaming it!

This game still hits as hard as it did back in 2017 for me. Thank you both for playing it and sharing it with us. I recommend you a video called "The Villain of Edith Finch" if you want an incredible analysis of this game. Can't wait to watch what else you have for us this month!

It was a lot of fun to watch this playthrough. It hits me so hard hearing the normally so cheerful Bae crying. Someone give that rat a lot of headpats and a big hug. Bae being scared of everything even when there was nothing was more than just adorable.

I finally got around watching this VOD and man... This hit my feelings really hard...

Watching this stream was... emotional. I was expecting screams and horror but instead I was left pondering about life, family and the power of the gaming medium. Telling gripping and emotional stories through games is really interesting to me and when Bae got affected by Gregory's story, I just sat there whispering to my screen like she could hear me, "It's alright, your strong and I really respect that you could bare your feelings like that, it shows you have a big heart." Thank you to both Bae and Fauna for another amazing collab.

Fauna Is A Perfect Cute Emotional Friend For Baelz!

Its weird. I live in a place like this. People are like oh so spooky and all I can think about is going to play in the woods like this

I was genuinely confused at this being chosen for spooky month, but then I thought about the story, and I also considered both Bae and Fauna's relative comfort level with horror, and you know what? That tracks.

This was so good, I'd love more Bae and Fauna full playthroughs~

Played this game years ago, and it still hasn’t become any less interesting to be. One of my favorite “walking simulators” since Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. Annapurna Interactive are one of this generations greatest indie creators, between this, Twelve Minute, Artful Escape, Outer Wilds, Stray, I can only hope that they continue to make games because they are truly masters.

I remember playing this game and being so amazed by it. Watching it all unfold as I played was the good kind of painful. It was such a good game so I watched the archived stream cause why not, it's just two hours long. Poor Bae, getting scared over little stuff at first...which was entertaining, only for the sad about Gregory to hit. Good job for completing the game~

I think that both Bae and Fauna are just perfect as gaming pals. I love this! ❤

I just wanted to tune in during breakfast but was so intrigued by the story that I watched everything. It was was an amazing story to experience with sweet mother nature and the cute rat. I didn't expect it to become so emotional. I hope you'll feel better soon, Bae. Thank you for the amazing stream.

Thanks for the playthrough! It was interesting hearing your views on things. I don't remember the game being this emotional but your reactions really got to me. Actually found the heart rate monitor more interesting for this than for horror games.

Bae is such a sweet and gentle soul. Moments like these really let you see how beautiful her heart is.

This is probably the best game I've never played. I watched a couple of vtubers play through this and it's emotional every single time... Glad you two get to experience it ❤️

I was here super late to see a cute rat be terrified while mother nature was calming her down but the ending part...... Damn. Keep in mind I didn't see the whole thing but I got the context and wow was this dark and terrifying. I am with Bae, I am going to go watch a wall lol. Still not bad for this part of your spooky month of plans and I'm gonna be thinking about what the freak I just saw about the end of this. So good job Bae and Fauna!!!!

Regarding Lewis, I think that the game hints at the suggestion of whether or not it was ok for him to stay in his delusions. Because he seemed to be doing fine up until a certain point, when he should’ve been brought back. I know that Silent Hill 2 also addresses this situation, and asks the player if it’s ok to take someone out of the world they’ve created into the harshness of reality. Even if it’s the “objectively” right thing to do, they are happy in that world. Is it ok to take them out, knowing they might not recover from that?

What an interesting game. Thanks for playing it, you two! As for my own thoughts, I don't think there was a "curse" in the literal sense. Moreso you just see a lot of avoidable accidents and bad decisions, which makes the story a lot more tragic. For example, Molly would've been fine if she hadn't been locked in her room and starved, which led to her eating gerbil food and toothpaste. Walter's death could've been avoided if he had gotten proper help instead of hiding in the basement. Lewis' death is due to his terrible therapist not helping him properly. And don't even get me started on the baby... In a way, the family made their own curse through unresolved trauma, or at least that's how I see it.

This playthrough made me realize how, for lack of a better word, happy this game is. Almost every character dies during a happy moment, sometimes the happiest moment of their life.

Aww Bae.. You are such a sweet personality, that legit reaction gave me the shivers.

I remember the first time I heard of this game, Mr Creepypasta was streaming his playthrough. It hurt then, and watching Bae's reaction to Gregory made it hurt even more now. This game has an amazing story that not only sticks with you but can pitentially change your perspective of family views. You never know what you've got until its gone.

Thank you both for the stream!!

Casually hearing Runescape and party hats get mentioned is enough to make me act up

If that was how Bae reacted to Gregory's story I wonder what it would be like if she played That Dragon, Cancer

This was a really great stream, and and amazing and emotional game thank you for sharing it with us

I, like both of the girls, remember hearing a lot about this game, but no specifics or anything about it outside of it being a story/walking sim, and wow this was a really good watch! I only paused once to go for a quick drinks refill and grab dinner. This was captivating, and hearing Fauna tease Bae every time she jumped at the little noises and door movements but also calming her afterwards was super nice and cute, and oh GOD the fucking gregory bathtub scene and their reactions to it, specifically Bae's, I legit cried a couple tears myself hearing Bae sniffling with a quaky voice from her trying to suppress tears herself Q~Q. Thank you both for this lovely, sombre stream. I can't wait to watch all the rest of the collabs between you both this month! maybe even get to catch a couple live xD

Thank you for the fun stream Bae and Fauna ❤💚rest well and take care. Hope you get well soon Bae 🙏

Acshually, the chemistry of the classic TV duo is exactly what I think Bae and Fauna have going on. It still works.

Anything: **happens** Bae's heart rate: **stonks**

glad you played this game. one of favourites

Thanks for the stream, Bae and Fauna!! That game had some very beautiful story-telling, but I must admit I'm rather confused about the whole story. Also, the game might not be a horror game, but the individual stories depicting the death of the characters was quite horrific and sad. That was truly an interesting game.

Bae crying made me cry

Before watching this stream I went and played through the game myself. Gregory was rough, but tbh Lewis hit me particularly hard. There's a lot of interesting theories and stuff to look into about this game. Edie especially looks pretty wack when you consider some things about her and her actions throughout the timeline. She sold the story of her daughter's death as a murder to a comic book, allowed her son to be a terrified, traumatized recluse in a secret basement for thirty years, probably wrote the weird journal entry by molly (because how would a child dying of food poisoning have written that?), and then she made some fanciful story about the 'lowest tide in a thousand years' letting her walk out to the old house. I'd suggest looking it up if you want to go down a rabbit hole!

Yep. I got nothing. Mind still frazzled after that.

This game got stuck in my head for a while. Now it sticks deeper.

For people who don't know, the music that plays(1:05:00) when Barbara goes into the basement is literally the Halloween theme. John Carpenter gave permissions to the devs.

I too have a huge extended family. We all have our own share of sad stories and tragedy but we lived on. I know a few stories, but I never really heard the whole of it. And that's fine! My grandma always talked about the most fun stuff she had as a kid anyway lol. I will never forget her story where she punched a shark while they were out in the ocean🦈. Grandma's dad was a fisherman and they go on fishing trips a lot. Its likely to be not true but I love to believe it's true. Lmao Anyway thank you for playing this game! That was a lot of fun. Its funny to see bae getting scared by creaking sounds and winds blowing lol

Thank you for the stream Bae and Fauna, I will need to watch the VOD to understand it better! Even though it was not a horror stream it really hit hard the story, showing that not always has to be scary to be horror! Thanks again for making this horror month!

This game is a masterpiece. Thanks for playing!

I'm actually glad you and Fauna played this game, I think I would've been too hurt to play that game on my own, extremely emotional game for an extremely emotional stream!

I think the word Fauna was looking for was "intergenerational mass hysteria".
