Overview

• The Drifter launched on PC on July 17, 2025, capping eight years of work by Melbourne indie studio Powerhoof.
• Players guide Mick Carter home for his sister’s funeral as he repeatedly dies and unravels supernatural conspiracies through a time-loop mechanic.
• Full controller support includes a hotspot wheel for interactable objects and shoulder-button controls for swift inventory navigation.
• Puzzles emphasize logical, scene-driven challenges and trial-and-error solutions, though midgame backtracking can stretch pacing.
• Gritty pixel art and a moody synth soundtrack draw inspiration from John Carpenter and 1970s Ozploitation to reinforce its B-movie thriller tone.
