The Drifter – Accolades Trailer – Out Now on Switch!
A classic 2D point and click adventure with the brake-lines cut – The Drifter propels players breathlessly into a web of shadowy corporations, conspiracy, murder, and the thousand year obsession of a madman, as they help Mick Carter solve the mystery of his own homicide.
The Drifter takes its cues from the modern revival of the adventure genre and delivers an engrossing and unpredictable edge-of-your-seat story, while logical, down-to-earth investigative puzzles act as the sinew between razor-sharp narrative beats.
