The Drifter

A point-and-click adventure with pixel graphics, set in a sci-fi and noir-tinged mystery. You investigate, talk to people and solve logic puzzles as the story moves forward at a quick pace. It is fully voice acted and plays as a single-player story. The pacing is lean, so sessions stay short and focused. Is it your kind of game?
