The River Doesn't Care About Your Friendship

You and your friends. One raft. A river that wants you dead. River Drift is a physics-based co-op rafting game for 2 or 4 players. Talk to each other, paddle together, and get ready to blame each other when it all goes wrong.

What's Waiting Downstream

Everyone on the raft controls their own paddle. Stay in sync and you ride the current. Paddle the wrong way at the wrong moment and you're spinning straight into a log, a crocodile, or worse.

The raft drops into a deep forested gorge with several routes below

The river splits and you have a few seconds to pick a side. Left might be a clear route. It might also be a hippo. Branching routes mean no two runs play out the same way.

Loose logs float beside the raft next to a wooden spike barricade

Rocks hit your raft. Crocs hit your raft. Your partner's steering hits your raft. Grab the wood floating downstream and patch things up before it falls apart under your feet.

Every biome is hand-crafted with its own hazards and its own wildlife. Crocodiles, hippos and a few other surprises are waiting for you, and none of them are friendly.

Made for friends, streamers and anyone who enjoys blaming their teammates. You'll come out of every run with a story like "remember when you paddled us straight into the hippo?"
