About this game
THE RIVER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP
You and a friend. One raft. A river that wants you dead.
River Drift is a physics-based co-op rafting game where communication, coordination, and a complete willingness to blame each other are the only things standing between you and the bottom of a very dangerous river.
PADDLE TOGETHER OR SINK
Two players share a raft, each controlling their own paddle. Paddle forward or backward to steer but only in sync will you navigate the current. One person paddling the wrong way at the wrong moment could send you straight into a log, a crocodile, or worse. The physics don't forgive mistakes. Neither will your co-pilot.
YOUR PATH. YOUR CHOICE
The river forks. You have seconds to decide. Left could be a clear route or a hippo. Right looks wider but also wetter. River Drift features branching routes that force real split-second decisions, so no two runs feel the same. Learn the river, or let the river teach you the hard way.
FIX IT. FAST
Your raft takes damage. Rocks hit it. Crocs hit it. Your co-op partner's questionable steering hits it. Scattered along the river is repair wood, gather it mid-run to patch your raft before it falls apart beneath you.
FEATURES
Physics-based co-op rafting for 2 or 4 players
Branching river routes with meaningful consequences
Hand-crafted biomes, each with unique hazards and atmosphere
Wildlife encounters: crocodiles, hippos, and more
Raft repair system — gather wood to stay afloat
Chaotic fun designed for friends, streamers, and people who enjoy blaming each other
DESIGNED FOR CHAOS. PLAYED WITH FRIENDS
River Drift is the kind of game that produces stories. "Remember when you paddled us directly into the hippo?". Wishlist now and bring a co-pilot you trust!
