There are two issues you need to learn about Where The Water Tastes Like Wine, the interactive fiction-ish anthology from Dim Bulb and Serenity Forge. One is that yer precise Sting is in it, supplying his dulcet tones to a hungry-looking wolfman who will narrate elements of the Americana odyssey. The second is that half of video games journalism has written for it, together with RPS escapees Cara Ellison and Leigh Alexander. Personally, Emily Short and Southern Monsters’ Kevin Snow are the names that make me notably intrigued to play this. There’s a brand new trailer, seemingly narrated by Sting himself, which reveals WTWTLW’s launch date – and, huh, it’s so much earlier than I used to be anticipating.
February 28th isn’t even two weeks away, however that’s after we’ll be capable to glug down this promising story-driven journey. It’ll set you again $20, and there’ll be a particular version that lobs within the soundtrack and a digital artwork guide as effectively. I’m certain it will likely be on different shops sooner or later, however for now here’s the Steam page, full with (modest) system necessities and some different titbits.
I haven’t adopted Where The Water too carefully, however I’m perusing the web site now and it appears very very like my form of factor. The trailers aren’t terribly informative about the way it performs, however I collect that the sport mixes 3D exploration with illustrated components, that means that you simply’ll traverse a folkloric tackle the United States by way of a three-dimensional map, earlier than triggering tales that mix textual content with pretty art work. An stock screenshot makes point out of there being 219 tales to collect, which looks like an enormous quantity.
