Driftage
Guide intelligence from the first fire to the edge of the stars. An idle game with a story.
Coming to Google Play (Android) and Steam (Windows)
A civilization grows while you watch, and while you don't
Driftage traces the rise of intelligence across eleven eras, from a spark in the dark to minds that outlast stars. You tend the Spire, expand your reach, decode signals from the noise, and pour what you learn into a research tree of 178 discoveries. Every era changes the light of the instrument you're reading it on, from ember to steel to electric cyan, then violet and white.
The loop is the story
There are no cutscenes. ECHO speaks when you reach something worth saying, and what ECHO says changes what the numbers mean. By the end of a cycle you'll know why ECHO has been so patient with you.
Then let it all go
Collapse the cycle and begin again with what you remember: Echoes that buy 22 permanent Continuum upgrades, from a head start on the Spire to machines that play the early game for you. Five different endings wait at the end of the arc, depending on how you got there.
Idle, on your terms
- Progress continues while you're away, and a summary is waiting when you return.
- Three optional mini-games (align the Sigil, repeat the Cascade, deduce the Cipher's rule) pay out for attention without ever being required.
- Five memory scenes to restore in the Mosaic, fragment by fragment, and living worlds built from what you've made.
- 32 achievements.
Made to be read
- Text size up to 150%, high-contrast mode, and reduced motion.
- On a phone, play in portrait or landscape; the screen rotates with you.
- On a PC, full keyboard control: rebindable hotkeys, Tab to move focus, Esc to go back.
