The Drifter

The independent development studio Powerhoof became known to players thanks to the game Crawl, released back in 2017. The production described here, titled The Drifter, is one of the next works of this team. This time, the creators have prepared a point & click adventure game, maintained in the convention of a thriller inspired by the works of Stephen King and John Carpenter, as well as the Australian grindhouse productions from the 1970s.

Gameplay

The Drifter allows us to follow the action from the side.

Down-to-earth adventure game

During the game, we explore locations, engage in conversations with characters, as well as solve puzzles and complete tasks that push the plot forward. Unlike in many adventure games, the puzzles here have a "down-to-earth" nature, requiring us to do things like breaking a window, digging up a grave in a cemetery, or setting spilled gasoline on fire. There are also more exciting events in which we participate, such as shootouts or interrogations.
