About the Game

"The thrill, the excitement, the wind in my hair. It was the purest form, of love." Little did you know this childhood memory of driving a wooden billy cart built by your mother, would change the course of your mundane, repetitive, office worker life forever.

One person. One goal: to become the greatest dryft racer the city has ever seen. Five Dryft Lords stand between you and the undisputed Kyng of Dryft City. Are you bold enough to take on their challenges?

A rollercoaster of a story

Drift along a club catwalk to control the lights for a penguin DJ's set.
Slam your ryde into a hostile night-dwelling cryptid. Battle a giant robot ape in the Bananarena.

Dryft your way to the top

OK so you know you've got the skills, now you gotta put your money where your mouth is. Climb your way up the universal dryft rankings by winning race after race. Don't forget your arsenal of tools to punish any racers in your way!

Befriend weird and wacky citizens

Dryft City is home to people and creatures from all walks of life. Introduce yourself, help them out, and gain the Mad Respect of over 35 crazy characters.

Earn a wage by remaining employed

Fulfil your 9-5 duties every weekday in return for monetary compensation. Complete a range of office tasks for a secure income, which you can use to fund your dream. Hey, no one said dryft racing is cheap!

Customise your sick Ryde and Fashion

To become the Kyng, you must drive a ryde fit for one. Install new parts to bolster your ryde and spice it up with a new paint job to stand out from the crowd. But you can't get away with just a sick ryde. You have to look the part too! Fresh threads and cut? Check. Surgically altered face? Check. Entire body tattooed green? Check. You're on your way.

Explore the vibrant Dryft City

Dryft City never sleeps! Go for a wander in your down time. Discover your new favourite artisan cafe, check out the Sunday Market food trucks, or stumble upon strange denizens of the night. Who knows, maybe you'll bump into an old friend when you least expect it!
