The First Spine

In a valley forgotten by all, a Maze erases the memories of anyone who crosses it. You are a traveler, maybe a merchant, maybe a mercenary. What is certain is that by traversing this Maze you have become a Drifter.

Discover the secret of the valley by playing different stories featuring unique mechanics and challenge devious and powerful enemies. In Drifter's Tales, you play as a wizard whose possibilities are materialized by cards with unique effects. These cards have to be placed on a game board, allowing you to advance to your opponent to ensure you the victory.

(please note that video footage contains footage from an early development stage, and that the overall quality was hugely improved)
