The Drifter is a good old-fashioned thriller

"The Drifter" is a point-and-click adventure game that departs from the genre's typical lighthearted narratives. Developed by Powerhoof, the game follows Mick Carter, a stowaway on a train, as he becomes entangled in a dark, twist-filled thriller. Unlike the comedic misadventures often associated with the genre, such as the Monkey Island series, "The Drifter" utilizes the format to deliver a gripping, novel-like experience. The game's point-and-click mechanics, which involve wandering, interacting with people and objects, and solving puzzles, are employed to propel the suspenseful and unpredictable story forward. By subverting the genre's conventions, "The Drifter" offers a fresh and immersive take on the point-and-click adventure game, providing players with a compelling and suspenseful narrative experience.
