Entrancing New Game Hyper Light Drifter Screams With Life

Listen closely and the ambient soundtrack sounds like a heartbeat rising from within the earth. In Hyper Light Drifter, available now for PC and later this year for consoles, the post-apocalypse is alive--and it's fighting. The story it tells is minimal and wordless. 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. In the aftermath, you play as a cloak- and goggle-wearing drifter.
