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.

Really fun, old school point & click adventure with great voice acting! Puzzles are bit too easy for my liking, most of it can be achieved by trial and error. But good fun nonetheless!
Great story and voice acting
Die Animationen sind wunderschön, das Pixel-Art ist fantastisch. Die Rätsel waren nicht zu schwer nicht zu leicht und die Geschichte ist extrem gut. Es gibt in den einstellungen auch einige QoL optionen im Advanced Menü. Ich rate allen welche in das Genre interresiert sind das spiel zu kaufen und anzuspielen falls es einem nicht gefällt einfach refunden. werde noch 100% auf einem neuen Save holen Edit: Ich vergaß zu erwähnen dass die Musik auch extrem gut ist.
Fun Point-and-Click game with a good story that took 11ish hours to complete. My only complaint is a few "timed" puzzles which I'm not a huge fan of. Most did a good job guiding you to the solution, but one did not and I had to look it up in a walkthrough guide (Chapter 5 stresses "not getting caught" but requires intentionally "getting caught" to trigger a specific timed NPC interaction).
No va a ser el juego de tu vida, pero si eres fan del point and click, el juego se disfruta bastante. La historia está currada, aunque hay unos agujeros del guion que flipas, pero por lo menos se nota que le han puesto cariño y creían en lo que estaban haciendo. No es ni muy corto ni muy largo, y estéticamente es bello. Quizá podía ser un poco más complejo, algo más retador, pero la verdad es que sí lo recomendaría.
Ok. This game is, good, cool AF, story feels like reading (listening) a good book, there is no hand holding but the difficulty match the actions and sequences... In my yearly top favorites. Can't wait to come back to it tonight to play again.
fun and fair priced
