## What is The Drift?

Happy relationship, a good job and loyal friends by your side. It’s all too easy to take for granted, and even easier to lose. And just like that, Michael’s life took a sudden turn for the worse, leaving him all alone in face of his myriads of problems. But even in a crisis there is still a choice: give up and succumb to your fate, or seek counseling, get involved in a venture, or simply abandon it all and disappear some place unknown.
What would you recommend?

You will find yourself caught in the turmoil that forever changed Michael's fate. But what will be the outcome - depends entirely upon you. Will the desperate young man manage to become a lifesaver and a strong support for the others? Or is he so drained by life that he needs to find someone to take care of him?

Start the game, meet our hero and help him find a way out of the plight he's in! Your advice can help him regain his inner peace, find faith in himself, avoid death, and make new friends and maybe even love!

Game highlights:
- interact with a number of distinct characters, each with their own story that they won’t share unless you find a way to approach them;
- Your choices at the beginning of the game can influence events at the very end;
- challenging puzzles;
- many different endings;
- vibrant illustrations;
- short delays designed to set the tone, rather than distract from the game;
- no restrictions on replaying! Forget about energy points, lives, etc. You can always choose to replay from the beginning of the chapter or from a checkpoint.

### 5/5 — Five star hidden gem!

*2023-05-29, version 2.0.2*

This text adventure style game is an absolute blast to play.  I’m shocked thar it only has three ratings; especially given that there was clearly a ton of effort put into creating unique characters, storylines, dialogue, choices, puzzles, etc. 

This is from the maker of Mansion, but so far I’m enjoying this one even more.  It is WELL WORTH the mere $1.99 to play premium, which allows you to play straight through without pauses (along with a few other upgrades - not entirely detain of the rest). 

It may seem to start off a bit slow, but if you give it a chance I think a ton of people will be totally hooked.  I’ve been playing for about 3 1/2 hours straight now and need to sleep, lol.  Enjoying every minute and highly recommend (this way I can hope for updates or a sequel!).  Thank you to the developer(s) for all of your hard work.  It’s been a wonderful experience for me.
