London, UK (May 14, 2025) - Co-publisher SECRET SAUCE and solo developer S.K.9.8 are proud to reveal that upcoming offroad vaporwave driving adventure, ADRIFT, now has a playable demo on Steam. Launching later this year on PC, ADRIFT is car mechanic turned game dev Stefan Kwak’s debut game, and the first published title from multi-service agency SECRET SAUCE.
A blisteringly hot desert, fragile and mysterious cargo, and a sturdy offroad truck. You're in the middle of nowhere, with the sole task of delivering the Energy Core.
In ADRIFT, you'll chart your own course between cooling stations, hoping the heat and the countdown of the clock doesn’t bring about your doom.
With no set path to follow, ADRIFT gives you the freedom to explore its neon dunes, winding canyons and gorgeous green, red, and purple plains. The game features one map with several biomes, unlockable areas, and thousands of secrets and shortcuts. Replay multiple times to speedrun, or uncover everything it has to offer - including how this psychedelic, 80s-inspired land came to become abandoned in the first place.
Key Features of ADRIFT
-
Purple Rain: Inspired by the vibrant hues and lighting of the 1980’s, the colorful and dynamic art style of ADRIFT’s world encourages you to get lost in it.
-
Let’s Get Physical: Plot your own route and use the physics-based isometric drifting and driving to navigate the dunes, forests, cityscapes and plains in style, accelerating and handbrake-turning in your agile offroad truck.
-
Under Pressure: Embark on a perilous adventure to deliver the Energy Core before the desert heat causes your cargo to go catastrophic, sending you to your doom. Make use of safe havens and cooling stations dotted across the map to keep the adventure (and your safety) going for a little bit longer.
ADRIFT will launch on PC via Steam later in 2025. A playable demo is now available.
