Where The Water Tastes Like Wine Takes The American Road Tale to PC
Dim Bulb Games announced their debut project Where The Water Tastes Like Wine, headed by Johnnemann Nordhagen of Gone Home developer The Fullbright Company. The title focuses on travelling and exploration of a "dream-like and fantastical American landscape".
Nordhagen has spoken out about the game since its debut trailer at The Game Awards 2015 stating that players will be able to explore freely, meet fellow travellers, and listen to their stories.
“As some clever folks have deduced, the title comes from a folk song, or, more accurately, lots of different folk songs, American folk culture is one of collaboration, sharing songs and stories but giving them your personal twist. It comes from many different cultures – the European settlers, the slaves that were forced to live here, the workers who have traveled here in search of opportunity, and of course the people actually native to this land."
“Many of the songs, stories, and poems deal with hardship, especially in the blues genre, and many are about traveling the country. The American road story is a genre in itself, ranging from stories like the Mark Twain classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, or John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath to Jack Kerouac’s On the Road."
Where The Water Tastes Like Wine will hit PC and Mac, and possibly other platforms, in 2016.
