The Drifter

The Drifter is a point-and-click adventure in the classic style. Taking cues from the second wave of the genre, there's an emphasis on story, with puzzle-solving being the glue that ties it together rather than the focus. Mick's a pretty practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth, designed to be unobtrusive and give an investigative feel. The pacing is quick and lean, and you'll never be wandering around lost for long periods. Mick is propelled through the story at a good clip from one situation to another, with barely a moment to catch his breath.

Mick Carter's been drifting a while now - never staying one place long, moving from job to job. Forced to return to his old home town, he witnesses a violent murder, is pursued by mysterious armed men, and killed. And that's just the start of Mick's problems. His consciousness ripped away, thrust back into his own body seconds before his death... Framed for the murder he witnessed, tormented by his own past, and haunted by a feeling that something followed him back from the other side... Follow Mick as he's sucked headfirst into a mad web of shadowy corporations, murder, and the thousand year obsession of a madman.
