Eldritch Drift

Drift. Forge. Awaken the gods.

Eldritch Drift is a kart racer from beyond the veil. Six ghoulish drivers tear around haunted circuits in hand-built hot-rods, flinging spells, shoving each other into walls, and drifting hard enough to wake the ancient gods who watch from the dark.

Six racers, six rides

The Reaper, an all-rounder in a coffin hot-rod.

Mortimer, a hulking undertaker in a funeral hearse who shoves the small fry aside.

Sister Hex, a nimble redheaded witch with a kart full of bubbling potions,

Grimble, a goblin mechanic on a scrap-heap with a rocket strapped on.

The Baroness, a playful little vampire of very old money, built for top speed.

Lilith, a demon drift specialist in a hellfire roadster.

Each racer has their own speed, acceleration, handling, weight and drift. Heavy karts barge light ones aside, and a hard knock sends a driver reeling.

Runes, forged into spells

Grab red, blue and green runes on the track and fire them as plasma bolts, shields and lobbed rift bombs, or forge two into an Elder Rune: homing seekers, haste, reflecting shields, walls that stop racers dead, tentacle rifts. Imbue an Elder Rune with a third to twist what it does.

Drift to earn a god's favor

Every drift and every sign you collect feeds your patron god. Wake them and their power is yours: rewind time with Dalieth, rake the road with Fanrir's claws, or slip through hidden paths with The Unspeakable. An awakened god also lays its own traps for everyone else.

Two circuits, two ways to race

Totenbaum Mansion: climb a cliff road, cut through a cursed garden, race the mansion halls and a ritual chamber, and out along a ghost-ship cove.

The Drifting Temple: a figure-eight drift circuit floating in the space between worlds. When a god wakes, the temple turns into its gauntlet: race Dalieth's Coil, a road knotted in the air that runs upside down, spread Fanrir's Destroyer's Mark or stay the last one unmarked, or plunge down the Unspeakable's Path of Paths, a spinning tunnel into the abyss.
