## SYNOPSIS
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.
## GAMEPLAY
The Drifter is a 2d point and click adventure in the classic style. Taking
cues from the recent revival of the genre there is 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. We’re keeping the pacing is
quick and lean, 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.
