Hello community.

I'd like to direct your eyes at a game that released yesterday:

The Drifter

A Pulp Adventure Thriller - A murdered drifter awakens. Alive again, seconds before his death. Hunted and haunted, help him untangle a mad web of conspiracy in this fast-paced point 'n click thrill-ride.

The demo is still available on itch.io: https://powerhoof.itch.io/the-drifter
There are quite a couple of other projects of this dev on itch as well, well worth checking out, since they are free :)

I had put this game on my wishlist after having tried the demo during a next fest in 2019. It was hands down the most thrilling demo I had ever tried, and I was continuously checking in the game's discussions to see if there was any progress.

And it finally released yesterday!!

Reviews so far are raving, as expected. I very rarely buy games on release day, but this one had to be bought straight away.
Gotta spread the word!

And with that, I'll leave everyone with an obligatory giveaway.
Spoiler warning: it's not for The Drifter, but it's for another point'n'click game Mutazione, so we stay true to the genre ;)

Let's get ready to solve!

Disclaimer: This is not my game nor am I in any way related with or tasked by the developer to promote their game. I'm just an excited fangirl who wants to express her excitement.

Have fun playing y'all!

Edit: Oops, the game in the poll is not what I was getting at. Seems the one has not been added to the database yet. Please ignore that one (can't edit).

I was counting down the hours till release \o/
It's not looking all that bad, eh.
Point'n'Click games are for old people.

Was expecting a racing game. I am pleasantly surprised. :)

As a general suggestion to everyone doing a jigidi giveaway: please do state which game(s) you're giving away.

Yes the demo was amazing and the Australian voice acting was cool too. I too wanted to preorder it but my backlog is big enough.

"Point'n'Click games are for old people." - yes, I am old!

The game is somewhere on my "I want to play" list, but it is a rather large list that is not getting smaller.

Hey at least they don't call them boomer clickers or some nonsense.
Boomers didn't play computer games, people! Keep your generations straight.

I fell in love with point-and-clicks back in 1997 (I was 12). So yeah, by now I'm definitely old, gimme my point-and-clicks! I thought I'd buy this one on release, but spent so much on the sale that it'll wait for now.

I like point 'n click games, and hearing you rave about the demo like that convinced me to add it to my wishlist! Thanks for the rec, Eeev, and also for the Mutazione GA! :)

It's basically Bastion, just p&c.
If you wanna give their earlier works a try, they are free and on itch.io:
https://powerhoof.itch.io/
Very well worth your time as well :)

Hmm, which Bastion are you talking about? The only one I can think of is this, but I fail to see any resemblance, so I guess you're referencing a different one? 🤔

Yes, it's this Bastion I'm talking about. It's the voice acting that made me reference it, and the "calamity" vibe they both share. Gameplay couldn't be further apart ofc.

I have a "Revoked Demo" tag on it, so probably I downloaded the demo and then couldn't play when I wanted to... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's because you haven't done a giveaway yourself in over two years, and all the "latest" ones have been region restricted on top.
In case you cared to know.
Sorry, didn't mean to ruin your day.

sweet, just wishlisted it. looks like old school PnC, sounds quirky and music seems cool too (reminds me of some irving force songs... just seems to be trailer music though, i just checked gameplay and there its more ambience...well, cool anyways :D )

and thanks for the jigidi! :)

I'm a fan of point-and-click games, but as usual, I'll punish this one for not including the Spanish option. Thanks for the GA.

OOoooh looks great! Has this retro gorgeous pixel art feels that takes me back to the golden age of PnC Lucas Arts games.
Wishlisted. Thanks for shining a light on another great indie, Eeev

Mutazione is also a really nice game. One of my favorite wins.

It looks gorgeous so that alone is enough reason to me for wishlisting it, I love bold pixel art after all, but then the "fast-paced point and click" part has me very intrigued. Only P&C game I can think of where there's a constant sense of urgency is McPixel and its sequel McPixel 3, but those have a very different vibe from this.

So thanks for bringing this game to my attention, and for the GA too of course ;)
