About
A Pulp Adventure Thriller from the minds that brought you Peridium and Crawl.
An engrossing roller-coaster of a story- Drawing on King, Crichton and Carpenter, with a dash of 70s Aussie grindhouse.
Point 'n Click or Controller- Unique twin-stick controls make The Drifter as comfy to play on the couch as at your PC.
Bursting with raw crunchy pixel art and high-impact animation.
Professionally voice acted, with a brooding dark-synth cinematic score.
Mick Carter's been drifting a while now- moving from job to job, never staying one place long. Jumping a box-car to his old home town, he witnesses a violent murder, is pursued by hi-tech soldiers, thrown in a reservoir and drowned.
And that's just the start of Mick's problems.
His consciousness ripped away, thrust back into his own body seconds before his death...
Framed for the killing he witnessed, tormented by his own past, and haunted by the feeling that something followed him back from the other side...
Follow Mick as he's sucked headfirst into a lunatic web of shadowy corporations, murder, and the thousand-year obsession of a madman.
The Drifter is our take on a classic 2d point and click adventure, with the brake-lines cut. The focus is on fast-paced storytelling, with puzzle-solving being the glue that ties it together. Mick's a practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth too, designed to be unobtrusive, and give an investigative feel.
We're keeping the pacing quick and lean, you'll never be wandering around lost or confused- Mick is propelled through the story at a good clip, from one situation to another, with barely a moment to catch his breath. One minute you'll be crafting a Molotov cocktail from a bottle of over-proof rum, the next interrogating a crooked neurosurgeon before swinging from a high-rise window by a fraying extension lead.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

At first, I was a bit confusing with the story line. Then much later, it all start to make sense but yeah, I think it's a cool story overall. Really enjoy the adventure game, it has the nostalgic touch and it doesn't feel clunky to play. Voice actings are great. The most unique about this game is the puzzle, it's not a typical puzzle adventure games. The puzzles are how you act in sequences to untangle dangerous situations. It took me a while to work out all those puzzles but it's very refreshing experience. Apart from the gameplay, I especially like the dialogue system, easy to use and building up clues, stop you wasting time on repeating dialogues.
very immersive and well thought out story line

Speechless, what a phenomenal game! Great voice acting, love the pixelated art style, and the story was keeping me on my toes. Highly recommend, also prepare to die a lot. Haha
Gran historia! Gran actuación de voz! Tiene dinámicas que siempre quise ver en un juego de aventura gráfica que le dan más peso a las decisiones. El mismo género del juego puede estar en decadencia, pero para cualquiera que crecio con Monkey islando o despues jugo las creaciones de wadjet eye no pueden perderse este juego
I really enjoyed this game. The story was interesting. I really enjoyed the voice acting and visuals. Puzzles were great. Overall top tier adventure!
very fun I liked crawl so I played this some parts are a little convoluted but the majority wasn't. I really liked the story it was fun.
Artwork, Story und Gameplay-Mechaniken haben mir von Anfang bis Ende gefallen. Tolles Spiel.
I love point and click games, and this is one of my absolute favourites. 10/10.
bonne histoire, jolis pixels, chouettes puzzles
Buena narrativa y fondos de acción muy bonitos
