What is Pacific Drive?
A first-person driving survival game set in a supernatural version of the Pacific Northwest.

What players say
82% of 22,572 reviews are positive · 81% of 210 in the last 30 days
Players praise the atmosphere, scenery, music, and the process of maintaining and upgrading the car. The most common complaint is that resource gathering, repairs, and crafting become repetitive or grindy, with too little variety across later runs.
