Several means of transport are available, including walking, hitchhiking and freighthopping.

}}Where the Water Tastes Like Wine received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[6] It was awarded the Developers Choice Award along with Walden, a game at the 2017 Indiecade Festival.[18] However, in the months following release, creator Johnnemann Nordhagen wrote in his postmortem,[19] "I can’t discuss exact numbers, but in the first few weeks fewer people bought the game than I have Twitter followers, and I don’t have a lot of Twitter followers," and "At the end of the day it’s astounding that a game that got this much attention from the press, that won awards, that had an all-star cast of writers and performers, that had a bizarre celebrity guest appearance(!) failed this hard." Nordhagen writes, "Basically, I’m not sure that games like this one can continue to be made in the current market."[20]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of Where the Water Tastes Like Wine gained praise as an authentic representation of Americana: The 30-track compilation spans folk, jazz, country, blues, bluegrass, and more.[21][22] The soundtrack was licensed and released by video game music label Materia Collective. A limited edition vinyl was pressed by Laced Records.
