About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
The Drifter is a point-and-click adventure in the classic style. Taking cues from the second wave of the genre, there's an emphasis on story, with puzzle-solving being the glue that ties it together rather than the focus. Mick's a pretty practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth, designed to be unobtrusive and give an investigative feel. The pacing is quick and lean, and you'll never be wandering around lost for long periods. Mick is propelled through the story at a good clip from one situation to another, with barely a moment to catch his breath.
