What is Pacific Drive?

A first-person driving survival game set in a supernatural version of the Pacific Northwest. You take excursions into the Olympic Exclusion Zone to scavenge resources and data, avoid anomalies and storms, then return to an abandoned garage to repair, craft, and upgrade your station wagon while investigating a former research site.

What players say

83% of 26,929 reviews are positive · 78% of 264 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.
