Former Gone Home Dev Debuts Trailer For New Project Where The Water Tastes Like Wine

Johnnemann Nordhagen helped co-found The Fullbright Company and was the sole programmer on indie darling, Gone Home. He's since left the company to form his own studio called Dimbulb Games. During the The Game Awards, he debuted the trailer for his first venture, a game called Where the Water Tastes Like Wine.

The game focuses on surviving the aggressive expansion of manifest destiny, but also puts an emphasis on telling and sharing stories. In it, you travel all over the United States through a century of history, uncovering a slew of different people's tales. Dimbulb Games was inspired by many different famous works, from Jack Kerouac's On The Road to Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

The debut trailer focuses on a train traveling across the land and what looks like a lonely soul. It also gives you a glimpse at the unique art style and beautiful music. Check it out below to see for yourself. 

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is due out in 2016 for PC and Mac.
