About the Game

Pacific Drive is a first-person driving survival game with your car as your only companion. Navigate a surreal reimagining of the Pacific Northwest, and face supernatural dangers as you venture into the Olympic Exclusion Zone. Each excursion into the wilderness brings unique and strange challenges as you restore and upgrade your car from an abandoned garage that acts as your home base. Gather precious resources and investigate what’s been left behind in the Zone; unravel a long-forgotten mystery while learning exactly what it takes to survive in this unpredictable, hostile environment.

Features

  • Outrun the storm while facing strange perils in a world that shifts with every journey into the Zone
  • Your car, your way – scavenge resources to craft new equipment and configure your wagon how you want. Experiment with different mods and car parts to navigate a treacherous landscape, and look good doing it
  • Unravel the mystery of the Olympic Exclusion Zone, an abandoned research site in an anomaly-filled version of the Pacific Northwest
  • Original score by Wilbert Roget, II and featuring 20+ licensed songs

DRIVE TO SURVIVE

It’s you and your station wagon against an unforgiving, vicious world. It’ll take more than a fresh set of tires to keep you alive, on and off the road. Your faithful wagon can be upgraded and reinforced to protect you, but the car is going to take a beating. Keep your gas tank filled and your panels intact to withstand the radiation permeating the Zone. You’ll be pushed to your limit - making repairs on the fly, scavenging materials wherever you can, and adapting your rolling fortress to tackle the many life-threatening dangers that lurk in the shadows.

INVESTIGATE THE ZONE

The experimental leftovers of the secretive ARDA organization remain scattered across the Zone, and finding answers won’t be easy. Everywhere you look you’ll find anomalies, surreal forces of a twisted nature that make your journey more difficult... or more interesting. Silhouettes in the dark, rolling piles of scrap metal, and towering pillars of earth - each trip is packed with otherworldly hazards. As terrifying as those may be, nothing compares to the overwhelming power of a Zone Storm. Stomp on the gas and outrun it if you can - these rolling maelstroms rend the landscape and obliterate anything that sticks around too long. Don’t let that be you.

REPEAT

Check the map, pack some gear for the trip, and hit the road. Gather resources and collect data as you go, there’s all sorts of useful stuff inside the walls of the Zone. Make it back safely and use the contents of your trunk to improve your car and garage. Every time you venture out, new trials await: bizarre weather, unforgiving landscapes, and experimental remnants. The golden rule in the Zone is ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ — some materials can only be found in the most dangerous places. Be smart out there, and don’t waste time — it’s going to be a long haul.

Chill. Fun. Interesting! Gets your heart pumping. Too hard? Change the settings. Too easy? Change the settings! I love that you can customize the game to your wants and needs. Turn out the lights, turn on the car radio,

Fun, chill, creepy, and relaxing. The story is interesting. I enjoy the garage and the music, plus all the building mechanics. The machines and creatures along with the weather and anomalies create a fun, tense, and

The only reason I endured this game to 100% completion is because it was a gift from my wife. Otherwise, I would’ve abandoned it way earlier. Bad driving, questionable physics, and a story that somehow manages to be

Pacific Drive caught my eye during the Game of the Year discussions in 2024. It looked very promising: exploration and crafting combined with driving a car that you need to maintain, repair, and upgrade. Sadly, the

There's only so many metal scraps and glass shards you can stuff in your pockets before you start wondering if there's something else you could be doing with your life. The visuals are pretty, and the driving is solid,
