74 Where the Water Tastes Like Wine

Release date: early 2018 tbd

This surreal, indie, narrative-driven exploration game is set in a "dreamlike" version of Depression-era America, populated by storytelling travelers and influenced by folk songs and The Grapes of Wrath. Expect hand-drawn artwork and 16 stories in all, each penned by a different writer.

This is the third straight year we've included Wine, which comes from former Gone Home developer Johnnemann Nordhagen, in our preview, but 2018 seems like the year it will finally arrive. An encouraging sign is that there has been news about the game in recent weeks: most notably, that Sting will serve as one of the game's narrators.
