Release Date: Jul 17 2025
A Pulp Adventure Thriller from the minds that brought you Crawl, The Drifter is a fast-paced take on the point and click adventure. With stunningly animated pixel art, optimized both for mouse and gamepad with unique twin-stick controls, The Drifter is an engrossing roller-coaster of a story, drawing on King, Crichton and Carpenter, with a dash of 70s Ozpolitation.
Jumping a box-car back to his home town, Mick Carter is witness to a violent shooting, pursued by hi-tech soldiers, then thrown in a reservoir and drowned... And that's just the start of Mick's problems. Finding himself alive again, seconds before his death, Mick is sucked headfirst into a lunatic web of conspiracy, murder, and the thousand year obsession of a madman.
