Evaluation
Horror Tales: The Wine launched on July 30, 2021 across multiple platforms. After launch, the developer shipped a free Halloween DLC on October 25, 2021 — a cosmetic update replacing enemy skins — and a free prologue demo in September 2021 as a milestone reward for early supporters. These represent the full extent of post-launch content additions for the game itself.
Developer Carlos Coronado has since moved on to the next game in the series. On January 18, 2024, he confirmed that Horror Tales: The Beggar is a direct sequel to The Wine, and that game launched on June 17, 2024. A March 2024 post even announced that a PS5 retail edition of The Beggar would include a digital copy of The Wine as a bonus. The most recent developer communication (October 16, 2025) relates entirely to a different project, Together: Moon Escape.
No new content has been announced or released for The Wine since October 2021. The developer's attention has fully transitioned to new projects, and the game appears to have shipped as a complete, self-contained experience with no further updates planned.

About this game
Mediterranean Horror: Explore the forsaken capital of an awe-inspiring archipelago. Do not let yourself be fooled by the gentle sea breeze, the Mediterranean vistas or the comforting summer sun. Since the Devil's Fevers pandemic ravaged the city, it was abandoned, and now only horrific nightmares await there.
Survive your Nemesis: Someone is relentlessly hunting you. Suffer and agonize while you try to run away from the encounters with this strange stalker obsessed with you.
Intense Challenges: Solve environmental riddles, physics puzzles and other similar challenges in an interconnected vertical world. Even while being chased and hunted.
Indie Jumpscares: Yes, the game has jumpscares. If that is not your cup of tea, there are many other horror games and it is totally ok! :D As the solo gamedev of the game I can only promise you this: there are jumpscares, yes. But they are not "cheap" jumpscares :)
Accessibility and Photomode: Tweak more than 20 Accessibility settings to create a tailored experience for you. Use the Photomode to make perfect shots and unlock many secrets using it.
A pandemic which causes strong fevers, terrible delirium and death has relentlessly decimated the inhabitants of the archipelago. Rumor has it that a prestigious red wine produced in the capital can cure the sick.
You are Martí Vermelló. In a desperate attempt to cure the infection of your loved ones, you steal a boat and head to the winery where the red wine is made, somewhere in the capital.
If you find just one unopened bottle of red wine it will be enough.
On reaching the island you decide to go to the winery owners' estate to try your luck there. The Banydebosc family estate is close and has a dock.
A cold smell of death, calm and silence comes over your body when you arrive at the dock. They sealed off the infected families in their own homes without food or water but even then the quarantine didn't work.
There is no one left alive…
…so it seems.
