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...

The Drifter Free Download - Game Review

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.

  • A Pulp Adventure Thriller from the minds that brought you Peridium and Crawl.

  • An engrossing roller-coaster of a story- Drawing on King, Crichton and Carpenter, with a dash of 70s Aussie grindhouse.

  • Point 'n Click or Controller- Unique twin-stick controls make The Drifter as comfy to play on the couch as at your PC.

  • Bursting with raw crunchy pixel art and high-impact animation.

  • Professionally voice acted, with a brooding dark-synth cinematic score.

(No spoilers) Amazing story with an epic finish. I feel like I just walked out of a 9/10 mystery/thriller movie while I was one of the characters inside it. Amazing game.
