Great Stephen King like story
An excellent point-and-click adventure with a Stephen King-like story!

Mick Carter's been drifting a while now- moving from job to job, never staying one place long. Jumping a box-car to his old home town, he witnesses a violent murder, is pursued by hi-tech soldiers, thrown in a reservoir and drowned.
And that's just the start of Mick's problems.
His consciousness ripped away, thrust back into his own body seconds before his death...
Framed for the killing he witnessed, tormented by his own past, and haunted by the feeling that something followed him back from the other side...
Follow Mick as he's sucked headfirst into a lunatic web of shadowy corporations, murder, and the thousand-year obsession of a madman.
The Drifter is our take on a classic 2d point and click adventure, with the brake-lines cut. The focus is on fast-paced storytelling, with puzzle-solving being the glue that ties it together. Mick's a practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth too, designed to be unobtrusive, and give an investigative feel.
We're keeping the pacing quick and lean, you'll never be wandering around lost or confused- Mick is propelled through the story at a good clip, from one situation to another, with barely a moment to catch his breath. One minute you'll be crafting a Molotov cocktail from a bottle of over-proof rum, the next interrogating a crooked neurosurgeon before swinging from a high-rise window by a fraying extension lead.

Very solid, stylish adventure game.
Grungy, intense adventure with a great synthwave soundtrack. Surprisingly good puzzle design, as I rarely felt like I got lost or stuck. I can't ignore that a lot of the custom animations for actions are omitted, instead just cutting to black with a narration. What animations there are look great though. It doesn't detract too much from the final experience.

Masterpiece
The Drifter is an absolute MASTERPIECE of a point-and-click adventure! This is truly a love letter to the classic genre, featuring stunning pixel art, captivating story and superb voice acting and soundtrack. Every frame is made with love, and it shows. I really hope it inspires more games like it, and why not, even a movie adaptation would be fantastic! One thing I wish modern adventures this good will include is a "Classic" difficulty mode where it'll skip some hints (or even alter puzzles) for an even more hardcore challenge giving an excuse to spend more time immersed in the world. An incredible achievement! Bravo!
