About the Game

Remember when you had time to play 100-hour RPGs?

Neither do we.

Drift Quest is a dark medieval fantasy idle RPG where your hero fights, loots, and conquers dungeons — while you do literally anything else. Inspired by the legendary Progress Quest, this is the RPG that plays itself — because your time is worth more than 47,000 clicks.

Create your hero. Minimize the game. Come back when you want to show off your epic loot.

A complete RPG that respects your time


  • 7 classes with their own personality — from the Berserker who asks questions later to the Warlock who doesn't ask at all
  • 9 races to choose from — boring Humans, snooty Elves, misunderstood Orcs, and 6 more
  • 1,500 missions generated so your hero always has work to do
  • 1,000 acts of epic story you don't need to read (but you can)
  • 177 spells your hero will cast automatically while you watch YouTube

Absurdly varied equipment


Your hero has 16 equipment slots to fill with 461 unique pieces of equipment. Head, neck, shoulders, back, chest, bracers, gloves, pants, boots, two rings, arrows, melee weapon, shield, ranged weapon, and wand.

Yes, your character can carry a sword, a bow, AND a wand at the same time. We don't judge.

Plus, you'll find 441 different items: mysterious bones, books you probably shouldn't open, suspiciously glowing flowers, gems, herbs, meat of questionable origin, hallucinogenic mushrooms (for potions, of course), potions, and roots.

Features that matter


  • Truly Idle — Leave it running in the background while you work, study, or pretend to work
  • 80 achievements — For the completionists who need to see that 100%
  • Global ranking — Compete with other players to see who has the most powerful hero (without doing anything)
  • Cloud save — Your progress follows you to any PC
  • 30 languages — Because heroes shouldn't have language barriers

Who is Drift Quest for?


  • For those who loved RPGs but now have adult responsibilities
  • For those who want to watch numbers go up without compromising their mental health
  • For Progress Quest nostalgics who wanted graphics
  • For those who need something in the background while doing other things
  • For completionists who enjoy unlocking achievements while they sleep (metaphorically)

No tricks. No traps.


  • $4.99 — One payment, full game
  • Zero microtransactions — No store, no gems, no "special offers"
  • No pay-to-win — Your progress depends on time, not your wallet
  • No ads — Because you already have enough of those in your life

Drift Quest is the RPG you'd play if you had time. Since you don't, it plays itself.
