Do you think it's possible the names of Edith Finch and her great-grandmother and namesake Edie were inspired by Big and Little Edie of Grey Gardens fame?
This game's story seems to draw some inspiration from the real life mother-daughter pair. Both the Finch home and Grey Gardens are kind of sprawling, tumbledown places full of memories and hints of a former grandeur with each having long since fallen into disrepair. And Edie Finch filling her descendants' heads with stories of the Curse and perhaps unintentionally leading many of them astray is a lot like how Big Edie's delusions and hang-ups seemed to have fed into her own daughter's inability to deal with reality.
