Crawl developer Powerhoof has announced The Drifter, a 2D point & click adventure with a decidedly retro aesthetic. The game follows Mick Carter, a drifter who returns to his home town only to witness a brutal murder – what’s worse, he ends up getting killed as well. This is where things get interesting, though: Mick’s consciousness is drawn back into his body, essentially reviving him. He doesn’t have the luxury of enjoying his second chance, though – he’s been framed for the murder he witnessed, and if that alone wasn’t enough, Mick also has a strange feeling that something else has returned with him from the other side following his inexplicable resurrection.
