<span class="bold">Hyper Light Drifter</span>, an immersive action/RPG where you explore the dark echoes of ruined civilizations, is now available for pre-order, DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with a 10% pre-order discount.



You are withering away. An affliction grips you, poisons your thoughts, and guides your energy sword to plunge further into the swirling darkness of ages past. Travelling through the remnants of the lands of Buried Time has always been your calling, but now it has become a desperate quest of self-preservation.

Collecting pieces of ancient technology, unearthing buried knowledge, and exploring treacherous ruins is the Hyper Light Drifter's way of life. Along with your trusted drone companion, Sprite, you will delve into dense forests, floating structures, and abandoned but not uninhabited dungeons seeking forgotten treasures and well-guarded secrets that might hold the cure to your terrible disease. Vicious, fast-paced battles await you. Your customizable arsenal of weapons and defensive systems, as well as your fluid maneuvers will prove critical when faced with the hulking bosses and the brutal terrain. Don't let the haunting music and the evocative pixel-art fool you: the shoes of a Drifter are steeped in blood and secrets that should be left undisturbed.



Pre-order <span class="bold">Hyper Light Drifter</span> and rummage through the alluring yet deadly relics of broken worlds, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% pre-order discount will last until the game's release.
Does Spring start in March? I'm guessing it's America: The World's Spring, at least.
For a moment, I thought it was finally released but nope :(

I'm still curious how the end product will be like....
Im no friend of those "retro pixel" graphics in games, but I have to say I somewhat like how the game looks.

One question though, is the music in the game going to be the same as in the trailer ? If so Ill have to pass, it really gives me a headache. :(

The northern half of the Earth officially enters the spring season on March 21, 22, or I think occasionally the 23rd (depending on year). Edit: a quick check of my calendar says it's March 20th this year, presumably because of the February 29th Leap Year bump.

Looks interesting. The art style reminds me strongly of Finding Teddy (which I enjoyed) and Titan Souls (which I did not). Will see what the reviews are like when it's properly released.
Remind me a lot of Titan Souls. Will keep an eye on it.

Just so you know you can't blame us, it's astronomy's fault. ;)

*Edit* Yes, the actual music in-game should be the same as in the GOG trailer. It will be produced by Disasterpeace (the same person who did the soundtrack to FEZ). That being said, I really like the music to the original teaser trailer...

Also, Yay! I've been waiting forever for this game and I'm super glad that it will be getting a DRM-free release!

Will pass then, the only alternative would be to turn the music off. :/

Have fun playing the game when it releases! :D
Best art style is best. Instapreordered.
It annoys me that the discount only lasts until release. What's the harm in getting a discount a few days after release.
Stop inciting preorders gog. :P
