DRIFT
The city is still shining. Reality is not.
2031. Aetera was supposed to be the next step. Then the Drift began. Purge twelve infected in Ashford Station, stabilize the rift, and cross into a city still shining while reality comes apart.
Launch experience
Play DRIFT
Games run in a dedicated player so controls, saves, and audio stay separate from the catalogue.
Audio starts only after a click or tap. Fullscreen availability depends on your browser and device.
About the game
Enter the world.
DRIFT is a first-person sci-fi horror build about an experimental neural drug that exposed a hidden layer beneath ordinary perception. Clear Ashford Station, cross the rift, and stabilize Sector 7 before the city loses coherence.

Compatibility
The honest version.
Arcaid tells you what each build supports today, including the rough edges. That makes it easier to choose the right game for your device.
Works best when
- Press Descend to start audio and capture the mouse.
- Use Arcaid’s restart control if the run needs a full reset.
Current limitations
- Requires WebGL and a modern desktop browser.
- This early build has no visible pause menu, touch controls, or gamepad support.
- Releasing the cursor or leaving the window safely pauses the simulation.
- Closing or restarting the game resets the current run.
