About the game

What is Adrift: A Puzzletale?

Adrift is a new puzzletale from PostCurious in which players will take on the role of an expert dream interpreter in order to help someone understand the significance of the messages received through their subconscious. Solve your way through strange writings, beautiful illustrations, and various physical artifacts to discover a mysterious and ethereal world. Adrift is played through four parts which can be completed in any order, each representing a different elemental spirit (Sky, Earth, Water, and Forest.) Each section of the game contains three sequential puzzles told through poems, an illustrated poster, and a physical item which needs to be assembled in order to derive a solution phrase. -description from designer
