About This Game

Get ready to blast off with the Pacific Drive: Deluxe Edition! This bundle includes the game plus an additional items pack themed around space exploration, that you can use to customize your station wagon.


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.

This game could have been great. It could have been an open world adventure through the Zone where danger abounds and you must survive by your wits. Unfortunately, it is just a grind through repetitive areas of the map that are instanced, which greatly detracts from the mood of what should be a "travel" game. Somehow in this huge dangerous world, I'm only ever a few turns from the safety of home. While you can jump out of your car at any time and explore on foot (or even off-road it if you have the parts to repair the damage your car will take), there really aren't any significant POIs unless they are featured destinations in the mission. An abandoned house? Cool! I wonder what fantastic loot we'll find! A stranded truck? what precious cargo is there for me to raid? The answer: screws, cloth scraps, and plastic cups. In reality, the items you find are of more use to keep your car in one piece (almost everything in the world is designed with the sole purpose of destroying it) rathe...

Truly underrated. The early hours of this game were so incredibly immersive and full of tension. Eventually, pattern recognition kicks in enough to where each drive isn't the hectic, intriguing jaunt they once were - for better and for worse. I don't even particularly care for driving in games, but this was great. Great story, voice acting, memorable characters, and a world you want to keep learning more about. Will probably come back for the 100%. Highly recommended.

A game that is defined one part by if you like the vibes and "new weird" aesthetic. Think of media like Roadside Picnic, Stalker series or Simon Stålenhag"s "Tales from the Loop" etc. The other part if how much you like the clever interconnected mechanics of the roguelite run with randomized maps and the crafting and cosmetic systems. In the current state its has some amazing accessibility and customizability options. Adjust the difficulty options if you like hardcore roguelike punishment or you are just in for the ride and the weird vibes. Or even when you just start to dislike some specific mechanic in particular you can tune it to your liking There is also some "Firewatch" style narrative in there. Likeable characters on the radio with some great voice work, but you no way to communicate your character or express you agenda.

Not for me, and not what I expected even from trailer videos. If you're looking for an experience like Long Drive with an open world, "anything can happen" type scenario - this is more like a boxed version of that with it's own twist and story. It seems like a great game, just not for me. Kind of has a nuclear aftermath setting with various anomalies which were more annoying than intriguing, things blowing up in my face, my car being electrocuted, green circles hovering over me damaging me, there is a "codex" or "journal" for these things but mostly it was just 3 hours of complete confusion and navigating a not-so-friendly UI. Game felt like a chore rather than a "drive and see what happens".

I enjoyed the vibes of this game but the gameplay loop wore thin and it didn't feel like I was close enough to the end to keep going.

I thought it was gonna be game like the long drive but more realistic better physics and wiper mechanics but I guess I didn't look enough into it. It's amazing looking and seems fun it just feels to grindy for me. And it just doesn't run good sometimes and I refuse to play on medium to low graphics I already did that for 2 years on my old laptop. Good game just not for me. 8/10 Looks tho.

The game is not that bad, it just not good enough. Kinda like a grind game, it started getting boring the more I move to the mid zone and deep zone. Their lots of potential but I think it been wasted. Story is fine, music is fine, gameplay is fine but nothing is good. Kinda sad, I was expecting more from it.

theres so much more than can be said about this game, but everything from the details of the cars driving to the etheral sensation of crossing these unknown realms is almost surreal. While I have many games, this is the only game I come back to again.. and again

I wanted so badly to like this game, and it had most of the features I'm looking for, but it is a faff to the point of ruining my imersion. I went mostly in search of the fun, and found it to be like a second job. Fine for some, not for me.

I sure do love when the mission bugs and i cant do ANYTHING about it :) ! In all seriousness the fact that sometimes you have to choose between ending a run (you lose a quarter of your car, including gear) OR you choose to kys (you lose a quarter of your car, including gear, OR you lose all of your car, depending on how you die) isnt really fun in a game where its a grindy hellscape... honestly abandoning runs on stable areas shouldn't give penalty's, especially since this game feels like it was built off of toothpicks and dreams, so missions can just.. break because they want to. the worst part is that there is no "really cool car that is really good!" because all of the parts a just... mediocre. somehow the best wheels in the game are the 2nd (or 3rd, i don't remember) ones you unlock, and all the other parts have specific use cases that are generally useless (except for anything blocking physical or radiation damage, given that that is 90 percent of all damage you will take over a...
