One of the very few good things about the Epic Games store and possibly the only good thing is the free games that they give out. I own more games on there than I do on Steam I think. A lot of those games, however, are real stinkers. Every so often they will give out a big title, but most of the time you are getting mid ass indies and in that pile of indies are gems like this.

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a very unique game. It is in a way a collectathon, but instead of getting stars or any similar shiny object you gather stories. Scary ones, hopeful ones, sad ones, love stories and you tell those stories to people and you see them change and evolve as you travel across an early 20th century USA.

I have not played enough of this game to properly review it. I just can't really get myself to be super excited to play it and I can't pinpoint why that is, because this seems like a game that I should really enjoy. It could be that the game-play loop gets repetitive or that the game sometimes just feels to slow I am not sure.
