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.

Reviews
Good game but was it really neccessary for The Drifter to say "I'm da Dwifta, baby!" everytime he drifts someone?
This was terrific. Loved the art style and the voice work. Some of the puzzles genuinely had me scratching my head.

Juegazo. De lo mejor en aventuras graficas desde el 2000 hasta hoy junto a Thimbleweed Park, IMO
Una aventura gráfica como en los viejos tiempos. Merece la pena jugarla
amazing!
Very Good
This game is infuriating. You have to backtrack so often for no discernable reason. The game also has multiple soft locks. Worst of all, there is no restart chapter button in case you get stuck.
Hits the right balance of nostalgia and new tricks. It's like Out of this World, but with point-and-click puzzles. Fun characters, great setting, and a simple but entertaining gameplay loop make a compelling combination. Memorable and repeatable. Highly recommended.
de lo mejor que jugué en aventuras gráficas este tiempo, historia muy atrapante, momentos de tensión y giros argumentales que me hicieron mal viajar varias veces. Los puzzles son sencillos pero bien orientados, nada de pixel hunting ni boludeces que se les ocurren a los de ahora. La música acompaña en todo momento. Gran decisión el poder "guardar y cerrar" el juego al finalizar un capítulo, me permitió darme cuenta que estaba rusheando el juego y así lo pude dividir en unos 5 días tranquilo vale cada centavo 10/10
