 📜 About the Game

Deaddrift is a chilling, choice-driven interactive fiction game set in the haunted frontier town of Grimriver—a place where the dead don’t always stay buried, and the past hunts harder than any bounty hunter.

You play as Edgar “Bushwacker” Bernard, a cowboy with a violent history and a secret even he doesn’t remember. After waking on the outskirts of Grimriver, pale and empty-handed, you’re drawn into a series of events that force you to confront the shadows of your past… and the unnatural truth of your present.

Every decision shapes Edgar’s fate—redemption, vengeance, or damnation.
