DEMO

This demo contains the first chapter of the full game, compete with it's own twists and turns!



Mick Carter's been drifting a while now - never staying one place long, moving from job to job. Forced to return to his old home town, he witnesses a violent murder, is pursued by mysterious armed men, and killed.

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 murder he witnessed, tormented by his own past, and haunted by a 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 fast-paced take on a classic 2d point and click adventure. Taking cues from the recent revival of the genre, the focus is on story with puzzle solving being the glue that ties it together. Mick's a pretty practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth, 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.
