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.

4/5 Fantastic classic point and click adventure with graphics reminiscent of the mid 90s LucasArts games such as The Dig. The story is pulp thriller/horror with some scifi added. I don't want to give away too much to avoid spoilers. The pixel art is one of the best I have seen in modern age. Super moody and at times surrealist. Especially the city settings has some beautiful urban noir style; broken lights, dark underpasses, rain dripping of buildings create an incredible moody feeling. Some of my critique is the ease of the puzzles and predictable ending. Its almost like modern point and click adventures are scared of challenging players. However I do understand the need to make point and click adventures accessible to a wider audience, as it allows the player to focus more on the story. Speaking of the story, some of the characters involved needed a bit more depth and development for the length of time they stuck around. But perhaps that is one of the challenges of telling stories within 2D games. Overall the art and gameplay is what carries the game, and while the story has its inconsistencies I still was enthralled to see what would happen next.

Wow, wow, wow.. Bravo! I absolutly loved it.
Great story, great visuals, great music.
História envolvente e desafios na medida. Personagens carismáticos, efeitos sonoros e sintetizadores na sua melhor forma.
really great story, art, acting, music, etc. loved it as someone who played the monkey island games growing up.
A captivating and unique story that keeps you on your toes, making sure you never have a full grasp of whats going on until the very end. Great game for a PnC adventure gamer like myself
Nice story, good voice acting and fair puzzles for a point-click game. Play it, but wait for a better discount.
