‘Good Morning Drifter’ Explores the Community Around Racing

Good Morning Drifter invites you to come out and watch some races, rather than participate in them, all while enjoying pears and conversations with fellow club members.

Good Morning Drifter. You’re not going to be taking part in them, though, instead relaxing as you watch other characters work their way through the turns, smoke, spewing from their tires.

While taking this in, you’re encouraged to talk to the people who’ve come out to watch the races as well, learning about the ragtag community that has sprung up around the excitement. You’re free to eat a few pears as you take in the races with these people, stopping for conversations over the roar of the engines.

Good Morning Drifter is a relaxed experience in getting to know people who share an interest with you, and all while you can watch some cars work through a daring race (controlled through AI to keep each match exciting). It’s a charming story of growing friendships, making it a welcome companion as you relax far away from the actual cold outdoors.

Good Morning Drifter is available for free on Itch.io.
