Driftwood is a fictional bishoujo visual novel—in short a text-based dating simulation game (dating sim)—that follows the life of adolescent protagonist Marcus Feick from Boston Massachusetts. In Marcuss junior year in high school after asking the girl of his dreams out on a date he finds himself caught in a catastrophic event that leaves him physically and emotionally wounded. Because of the incident as well as complications with his newly formed relationship his overprotective parents decide to transfer him to a boarding school south of Boston and nearly a hundred miles away on the island of Marthas Vineyard. This act relegates his old life to nothing but sour memories and broken promises. At the new boarding school on Marthas Vineyard Marcus is introduced to a variety of cultures and personalities. The story and game focus primarily on five main female characters that can affect Marcuss life positively or negatively based on the players choices. Each character is designed to teach Marcus a profound life lesson helping him better understand the world and the difficult process of becoming an adult.
