About the Game

Gilgamesh Drift is a psychedelic rhythm-parkour game set onboard a colossal space station, anchored in the orbit of a supermassive black hole.

Parkour your way through the ruins of Brinkharbor, a once utopian society where death itself held no sway, now fallen into desolation; slowly crumbling to a mysterious force of fractal corruption. 

Follow the Wanderer and their faithful companion Birdy through the 5 districts of this city-station, each with their own unique visual identity and gameplay challenges. Ascend the megastructure and aid the mechanical caretakers that are its only remaining (friendly) inhabitants. Piece together the mystery and uncover the story of Brinkharbor in this modern sci-fi take on the Epic of Gilgamesh. 

Features:

  • A Prince of Persia inspired parkour system where you leap, slide, mantle, dash and wallrun through the crumbling ruins of a megastructure.

  • Rhythm-based gameplay where every parkour move is synced to the beat.

  • A high-octane Mystical Phonk soundtrack by the composer of Gloomwood, Taylor Shechet. 

  • 6 different areas that each have 3 levels, for a total of 18 levels.

  • Unique music tailored to the vibes of each level. 

  • A cast of fun and melancholic characters that you can't help but relate to, as they try their best to eke out a life in the ruins of this once mighty civilization. 

  • An enigmatic world where EVERYTHING pulses to the beat.

  • A synesthetic art style incorporating fractal art from the depths of the demoscene, merging with the music into a trip you'll never forget.
