Xeno Drift

KHEPRI SIX WENT DARK SEVENTEEN DAYS AGO.

You are Employee #426223. Your assignment is artefact retrieval: three Anchors, from a research station orbiting the Nadir Black Hole. The facility was studying biological specimens recovered from around it. Command considers a xeno-specimen outbreak the most probable cause of the blackout.

Failure to retrieve the Anchors will result in immediate termination.

Xeno Drift is a turn-based survival horror roguelike for phones. Short runs, permadeath, and a station that is laid out differently every time you go in. Ten to fifteen minutes a descent.

WHAT A RUN LOOKS LIKE

• Three sectors, twenty-five rooms in the first and fewer in each after, rearranged every run
• Thirty-four events, each a choice you can preview and cannot undo
• Twenty-three alien creatures, each with a mutation that changes the fight: bulletproof, kleptophilic, ravenous, corrosive
• Seven weapons and twelve items to find, spend and lose
• Terror, Despair and Psychosis fill separately from your health, and any one of them full ends the run on its own
• Two ways to survive the station. Four ways to die on it.

BUILT FOR PHONES

This is a portrait game, rebuilt for a phone rather than squeezed onto one. No virtual stick, no reflexes, no rotating the device. It is turn-based, so it waits for you: put it down mid-run and pick it up later.

NO ADS, NO PURCHASES, NO ACCOUNT

Free, completely. No advertising, no in-app purchases, no subscription, no account, no ny kind. The app requests no permissions and makes no network connection, so it works
entirely offline, on a plane, in a tunnel, forever.

FOR PLAYERS WHO LIKE

Roguelikes and roguelites, permadeath, dungeon crawlers, survival horror, sci-fi horrordventure, turn-based RPGs, retro terminal aesthetics, and single player offline games
