The Long Drift

About This Game

Explore the vast universe from your desktop. This is a desktop exploration game that runs quietly in a corner of your screen while you go about your day.

Travel between planets, space stations, and resource zones, gathering materials and expanding your reach across the cosmos.

Explore, build, and go beyond

Discover new planets, harvest resources, and upgrade your equipment to build more advanced spacecraft.

Complete quests, build colonies on distant planets, and start fresh with a stronger ship.

As technology evolves, Break past the speed of light and face all kinds of unexpected encounters.

Always on, never in the way

Even when you’re idle, the universe keeps moving—ships travel, resources grow, and exploration continues. The game stays unobtrusive on your desktop while your journey unfolds in the background.

Play your way

Let the universe run entirely on its own, or step in whenever you want to make decisions and change your course.
