He's searching the ruins of this old civilization for a cure. Every now and then he coughs, glitchy fuzz covering the screen, thick globs of blood coming from his mouth. In the aftermath, you play as a cloak- and goggle-wearing drifter. A short opening cutscene reveals everything the game thinks you need to know: a vision of an arcane futuristic utopia, destroyed in a burst of impossibly bright light. The story it tells is minimal and wordless. In Hyper Light Drifter, available now for PC and later this year for consoles, the post-apocalypse is alive-and it's fighting. Listen closely and the ambient soundtrack sounds like a heartbeat rising from within the earth. Water, in the form of one flickering stream of pixels after another, drips down the subterranean walls.
Indecipherable hieroglyphs pulse with blue and purple light.
