Full ADRIFT update

Hi there!
The demo for ADRIFT is out in the wild, and I’ve honestly been floored by the response. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am to everyone who’s taken the time to play, share their thoughts, or even just post a screenshot. Seeing folks vibing with the atmosphere, the drifting, and making their deliveries (or blowing up, it’s one of the two really) means the world to me. So truly: thank you.
On top of that, ADRIFT has been getting picked up by some press outlets, which is still kind of surreal to write out. I wanted to share a few highlights in case you missed them:
Firstly, PC Gamer described the game as "aggressively vaporwave" which is a hell of an accolade. I might have to use that line later!
Engadget featured the game in a list of “ indie games worth checking out ”...
It’s also been featured on 4Gamers, Reboot, and a few other places I never expected to see the game pop up:
I’ve been building this game quietly for a long time, mostly just hoping it might resonate with a few people. To now see it getting coverage from places I’ve read for years? Genuinely a bit mind-blowing.
If you haven’t played the demo yet you can still check it out, and while you’re here be sure to give me a follow on Bluesky where I post smaller updates about the game.
See you down the road,
