Editor review
Drift Quest is a story-driven point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn visuals. Twenty-hour campaign across three acts.
What works is the writing. Character dialogue is well-crafted; the central mystery unfolds at a respectable pace.
Three acts following the protagonist through discovery and complication of a mystery.
Tested over a week of evening sessions from Liverpool.
Where the design earns its high rating is the puzzle integration. Puzzles emerge from story situations rather than blocking progress.
Where I would push back is the absence of save-state granularity. Chapter-boundary saves only.
Four-and-a-half stars. Strong story-driven adventure.
