About This Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

D.R.I.F.T. is a systemic space sandbox where you play as an independent pilot navigating a fractured galaxy shaped by shifting markets, warring factions, hidden opportunities, and constant risk.

There’s no chosen-one storyline.
No predetermined destiny.
Just you, your ship, and the consequences of every decision you make among the stars.

A Living, Reactive Universe

Events, factions, markets and rumors evolve with or without you.
Every jump feels different because the galaxy refuses to sit still.

Your Journey, Your Rules

You decide what type of pilot you become:

  • Trader

  • Miner

  • Explorer

  • Smuggler

  • Salvager

  • Or just a wandering opportunist

There’s no fixed path, only the one you carve through deep space.

Dynamic Markets, Contracts & Jobs

  • Transport cargo

  • Rescue distressed colonies

  • Explore anomalies

  • Mine asteroids

  • Salvage derelict ships

Every contract has risks, rewards, and consequences for your reputation.

Variable Economy & Markets

Markets shift. Jobs pay differently. Conditions change.

Explore the Unknown

Travel through interconnected systems, discover new routes, find anomalies, stumble upon derelicts and remote stations. Procedural generation keeps each run fresh.

Your Ship Is Your Lifeline

Power management, CPU usage, module selection and fuel efficiency define your survival more than firepower.

A single poor decision can leave you drifting in the void.

What Makes D.R.I.F.T. Unique

  • True sandbox freedom—no scripted main campaign.

  • A galaxy shaped by systems, not pre-written events.

  • Multiple viable playstyles: trader, miner, explorer, smuggler, scavenger.

  • Persistent consequences with faction diplomacy.

  • Emphasis on survival, choices and resource management.

  • Every session becomes your own story.

D.R.I.F.T. is about carving your path through an unforgiving universe.

Survive, prosper, or burn out in the black.
The galaxy doesn't care, but your legacy will.
