This is a Narrative-Adventure game about traveling, sharing stories, and surviving manifest destiny. Featuring gorgeous hand-drawn illustrations, it combines 2D visuals with a 3D overworld US map. Players wander across a folkloric Depression era United States at their own pace, meeting strangers with their own stories to tell. Through these interactions, players will be able to collect unique stories which can then be re-told to unlock new interactions. In this way the in-game stories themselves act as a currency to progress through the game, and it’s up to the player to pair the right story with the unique needs of each of the characters that you will encounter throughout your travels. Only through these right pairings will characters reveal their true selves, and bestow you with the most powerful stories, the true ones which reveal something about their own lives. Stories organically take on a life of their own as they grow larger and transform as they're told- and re-told. Features: A large number of folk tales and personal stories to discover, told by characters from all over America; Beautiful combination of 3D overworld and hand drawn 2D illustrations; Original stories written by a wide selection of accomplished authors; Fully voiced characters from all walks of life brought to life by world-renowned voice acting talent, including Sting, Dave Fennoy (The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series), Cissy Jones (Firewatch), Kimberly Brooks (Mass Effect), Sarah Elmaleh (Gone Home), Melissa Hutchison (The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series), Elizabeth Maxwell (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild), and many more; A hauntingly beautiful original soundtrack arranged by celebrated composer Ryan Ike and featuring performances from a collection of gifted musicians; An emerging fantastical, psychedelic and surreal overarching atmosphere. Fireside Chats is a free standalone experience which acts as a companion to Where The Water Tastes Like Wine. Available as a separate download, it 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. |
