I took the time out of my schedule to play some Hyper Light Drifter, in between packing my boxes to send off to storage. I’d been hearing about it from some of my friends on Steam, so I picked it up to see what all the hubhub is about. This game by indie shop Heart Machine, has you taking on the cloak of an unnamed drifter collecting forgotten knowledge, technologies, and broken histories. The game presents its narrative through its own visuals, as well as slide-show dialogue. There is absolutely no written dialogue, and it doesn’t need any to get its point across.
