A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Bug Fixes, Engine Update
2021-05-26 01:11 UTC · Community Announcements · Johnnemann
Hi folks, You may be wondering about the latest update to the game! This is a maintenance update with a few good bug fixes in it - the biggest one is a fix for the problem some players saw where they could not find all the stories in the game. In addition, vignettes are better randomized, some performance updates, other minor bugs, and the engine was updated to a newer version in order to make things run better and be easier to fix in the future. This should hopefully also fix the crash some users were seeing with newer MacOS versions. Thanks for playing, and please let me know if you experien
Where The Water Tastes Like Wine spins some Chinese American yarns
2019-07-15 20:57 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dominic Tarason)
Dim Bulb’s quiet and contemplative story tell ’em up Where The Water Tastes Like Wine is still out there, trudging down America’s dusty depression-era roads, collecting and telling stories. Today, it has a few new ones to tell. Today’s Gold Mountain Update adds an official Chinese localisation, produced by a crew of dedicated Chinese-speaking fans led by one Ryan Zhang. More importantly for English-speakers, it adds a new set of stories to the game, focused on the lives of Chinese Americans and their alchemized folklore as they became woven into America’s fabric.
Storytelling adventure Where the Water Tastes Like Wine adds new Chinese-American tales in free update
2019-07-15 19:34 UTC · Eurogamer
Developer Dim Bulb's positively received Depression-era storytelling adventure, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, is ready to spin a few more yarns, courtesy of its newly released, and free, Gold Mountain update. Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, the brainchild of Johnnemann Nordhagen (co-founder of Gone Home developer Fullbright), sends players, in the guise of a roving skeleton, on a cross-country adventure around the United States. It's a game of tales, with the goal being to tease out new stories from the strangers you meet on your travels, trading yarns you've heard elsewhere to gain thei
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine gets new Chinese-American stories
2019-07-15 18:19 UTC · PC Gamer
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is an ambitious journey through the heartland of American history that unfortunately failed to live up to those ambitions, and is best remembered these days for being a "commercial disaster." Despite that, a new update for the game called Gold Mountain was released today that adds full Chinese localization to the free Fireside Chats, and new stories based on the experiences of Chinese immigrants. The Chinese localization was done by fans, according to the Steam update, who have been working on it for four months so far. "We are humbled and gratif

Where The Water Tastes Like Wine adds new stories in free standalone Fireside Chats
2018-11-17 14:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Jay Castello)
Story-collectathon Where The Water Tastes Like Wine now has a free companion game, Fireside Chats, which falls somewhere between expansion and demo. The new release includes sixteen fresh stories, each told by one of the main characters that returning players will recognise, as well as the existing first chapter, so new players can get a feel for what to expect if they go on to purchase the main game.

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine: Fireside Chats is a free 'standalone experience'
2018-11-15 21:26 UTC · PC Gamer
The story of Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is an interesting one. Some game sites rated it very highly, while others—including ours—were much cooler on it. Some of the tales it tells "are beautiful, and they're all important," we wrote in our review, but they're told "at an agonizingly slow pace" that brings the entire experience down. And in any event, it was a sales disaster. Despite all that, publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment isn't letting it go quietly. Today it released a free, standalone "companion" to the game called Wher
Free 'Fireside Chats' Standalone Game, out now!
2018-11-15 19:18 UTC · Community Announcements · Johnnemann
Hi Folks, As a free companion game to WTWTLW, we've released "Fireside Chats". This contains new stories told by each of the 16 characters, plus the full first chapter conversation with Dire Wolf. This content is new and not seen in the full game. You can find it here. Thank you again for playing, and I hope you enjoy all these new tales, as well.
Steam Summer Sale recommendations: 2018 edition!
2018-06-26 18:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alice Bell)
The old quote is wrong: neither death nor taxes are, it seems to me, as terrifyingly certain as the Steam Summer Sale. Yes, once more we can add to the heap that is our backlog by buying games for, what, five quid, on average? But there are so many to choose from that it’s easy to get flustered, so who better than the staff of RPS to hand-pick the best ones for your consideration (rhetorical question; do not answer)? Check out the full list below for a mix of games that should suit all pockets and tastes. (more…)
Cross-country storytelling adventure Where the Water Tastes Like Wine adds 15 free new tales
2018-06-05 19:41 UTC · Eurogamer
Depression-era storytelling adventure Where the Water Tastes Like Wine just received a new update, adding 15 free new tales to enliven its captivating cross-country exploration. Developed by Dim Bulb, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a bit of an unusual one, setting players off (having been turned into a skeleton by Sting) on a genteel jaunt through a folkloric Depression-era United States. You'll meet strangers along the way, and, sitting by the flickering firelight, must gradually gain their trust, sharing the stories you've heard on your travels until they're willing to reveal their own
Where The Water Tastes Like Wine adds new stories and autowalk
2018-06-04 16:21 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alice O'Connor)
Story-collecting stroll ’em up Where The Water Tastes Like Wine has added more strange, delightful, and terrible tales to hear in a free update. Our dearly-departed Adam praised the original game’s Americana stories, written by a wide team of writers, in his Where The Water Tastes Like Wine review and more are certainly welcome. The dead man wasn’t so keen on the game around the stories, mind, but the developers are continuing to tweak that. This update also added an auto-walk button, see, to make your skellington stroll without you hold a key or button. The game is on sale n
