The Drifter (Video Game)

The Drifter is a gritty, story-driven point-and-click adventure developed by the indie studio Powerhoof, led primarily by Dave Lloyd alongside artist Barney Cumming. It blends mystery, suspense, and sharp writing into a modern take on a classic genre. With its striking pixel art and cinematic pacing, the game feels like a love letter to the golden age of 80s and 90s adventure games—revived through today’s indie scene. We loved diving into its dark, layered narrative and seeing how it brings new life to a style of storytelling that still holds up when done this well.

Stick around until the end for a live point-and-click adventure game.

Safe travels, nomads.
