Where the Water Tastes Like Wine

The Special Wayfarer Edition of Where The Water Tastes Like Wine contains the full Original Digital Soundtrack composed by Ryan Ike in high-quality MP3 and FLAC formats, along with an Exclusive Illustrated Digital Artbook detailing the inspirations behind the game's unique visual style. This Narrative-Adventure game focuses on journeying, sharing narratives, and surviving manifest destiny, blending hand-drawn 2D illustrations with a 3D overworld map of the US. Players roam a folkloric Depression-era United States at their own pace, meeting strangers who possess their own tales. By collecting unique stories and retelling them, players unlock new interactions; these stories function as currency to progress, requiring the correct pairing to reveal a character's true self and acquire the most powerful, true narratives. As stories are retold, they organically grow and change. Game features include traversing the Depression-Era United States to repay a debt by learning the true lives of 16 signature characters from diverse backgrounds like migrant workers and traveling preachers. As you explore, you will encounter strange things in a land built on dust clouds and dreams where folklore bleeds through. You will carry these tales, swapping them around campfires to encourage characters to open up. The stories you share will return to you transformed, and as you gain the trust of characters through repeated meetings, they will share their true selves. Only by learning their real stories can you settle your debt. The title features a beautiful blend of 3D overworld and hand-drawn 2D art, original stories by various accomplished authors, and fully voiced characters from all walks of life brought to life by renowned voice talent including Sting, Dave Fennoy, Cissy Jones, Kimberly Brooks, Sarah Elmaleh, Melissa Hutchison, and Elizabeth Maxwell. It also includes a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack by Ryan Ike and a fantastical, psychedelic atmosphere.
