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

Two players share a raft, each controlling their own paddle. Paddle forward or backward to steer but only in sync will you navigate the current. One person paddling the wrong way at the wrong moment could send you 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 repair wood, gather it mid-run to patch your raft before it falls apart beneath you.
