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.

Nice story, good voice acting and fair puzzles for a point-click game. Play it, but wait for a better discount.
Endlich mal wieder ein gutes Point and Click
Nem gondoltam, hogy egy point 'n click játék ennyire fog tetszeni. Nagyon tetszettek a szinkronok, a pixel dizájn, és a történet is. Néhol elakadtam, de az a saját bénaságom miatt volt, amúgy nem egy nehéz játék.

Wow, what an incredible experience! The Drifter delivers on every front. The narrative is fantastic, the puzzles are deeply satisfying to figure out, and the art design is top-notch. It creates such a great atmosphere that I didn't want to put it down. It completely scratched that adventure game itch and left me looking for more games of this caliber. A must-play!
Charming old school graphics, great story, nice vibes.
Old man still kicking no matter how hard you bash him with a brick. if you're a fan of old-school point-and-click adventures, this is the game. Puzzles are not that hard to use guides but still mess with you from time to time. Definitely not the same as Sam&Max's level of brainstorm and it compliments the game. Pixel graphics is great, the story is interesting enough to keep going. The only downside for me was Chapter 7 - it felt a bit too long, IMO. Go for it if you crave something for a couple of evenings.
Good game but it's get kinda boring towards the end
Très bon. Il y a toujours un puzzle frustrant dans le lot des point & click qui ruine le rythme et tu bloques sur un truc évident.. Mais ça ruine pas du tout le jeu qui est exactement ce qu'il doit être.
Great storyline, fun gameplay, and a nice pixel art. Definitely worth playing if you enjoy games with a good story.
Great writing, voice acting and puzzles. Will you push through Chapter 6?
