About This Game

THE RIVER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP

You and a friend. One raft. A river that wants you dead.

River Drift is a physics-based co-op rafting game where communication, coordination, and a complete willingness to blame each other are the only things standing between you and the bottom of a very dangerous river.

PADDLE TOGETHER OR SINK ALONE

Every run begins with a simple goal: survive. Two players share a raft, each controlling their own paddle. Paddle forward, backward, or steer — but only in sync will you navigate the current. One person paddling the wrong way at the wrong moment sends you spinning straight into a log, a crocodile, or worse. The physics don't forgive mistakes. Neither will your co-pilot.

YOUR PATH. YOUR CHOICE

The river forks. You have seconds to decide. Left could be a clear route — or a hippo. Right looks wider — but also wetter. River Drift features branching routes that force real split-second decisions, so no two runs feel the same. Learn the river, or let the river teach you the hard way.

FIX IT. FAST

Your raft takes damage. Rocks hit it. Crocs hit it. Your co-op partner's questionable steering hits it. Scattered along the river is wood — gather it mid-run to patch your raft before it falls apart beneath you. Running low on repair wood at full speed through a canyon is exactly as stressful as it sounds.
