Our take on driftwood
Rather than building toward a long campaign or a sequence of varied challenges, this walking simulator keeps its scope brief: a nighttime North Sea setting, poem discovery, and a soundscape that develops during exploration. Its stated gameplay duration is around 15 minutes.
What is driftwood?
Driftwood is a short walking simulator set by the North Sea at night, with around 15 minutes of gameplay.
Players roam through a calm nighttime scene and discover poems while the soundscape gradually develops. The experience centers on walking, exploration, and listening rather than a longer or more varied structure. The vendor also says Sokpop releases a new game every two weeks; that refers to the studio’s release cadence, not to additional content within this game.
