Necrotic Drift is a survival horror text adventure… but with graphics and sound! An homage to the old Magnetic Scrolls game in presentation.

Jarret Duffy knows everything about Dungeons & Dragons– a sad fact which has secured his position as assistant manager of Benji’s Gaming and Role-Playing Emporium.

When not earning minimum wage, Jarret obsessively rents The Fellowship of the Ring to point out trivia to his loser roommates and maintains and on again/off again relationship with Audrey. However, when Jarret disrupts a Summoning Session (by the Wiccan girls at the Bead Shop) and the undead start visiting the Funtime Teen Mall, he’s just the man to have around. Jarret now finds himself in the unlikely position of hero, but can he do it?
