About the Game

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine: Fireside Chats is a free standalone experience which acts as a companion to Where The Water Tastes Like Wine

Available as a separate download, Fireside Chats adds exclusive story content for all of the folktales from the main game’s sixteen characters. It also makes the entirety of the Dire Wolf’s first chapter from the full game playable for free for those who have yet to experience this unique journey through a century of Americana.

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is an imaginative trek through history featuring gorgeous 2D/3D visuals and original folk music. Meet surreal characters as you explore the nation’s most distant haunts, collecting and sharing an eclectic medley of stories from some of today’s most prolific writers. Bringing them all to life is a remarkable cast of voice talent, including renowned singer-songwriter, musician and actor Sting, Dave Fennoy (The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series), Cissy Jones (Firewatch), Kimberly Brooks (Mass Effect) and more.

Like the full game, the Where The Water Tastes Like Wine: Fireside Chats experience allows players wander through the United States - and through a century of history - to meet a variety of people, each with their own stories to tell.

Features

  • A variety of folk tales and personal stories to encounter, told by characters from all over America
  • Beautiful combination of 3D overworld and 2D illustration in its own unique style
  • Stories by a wide selection of excellent writers
  • An emerging fantastical, psychedelic, surreal, and creepy tinge as the game continues
