Pacific Drive Gameplay
Pacific Drive is a first-person driving survival game where you must outrun supernatural entities in the Olympic Exclusion Zone as well as a storm simply known as Zone Storm. As opposed to other driving or racing games that feature a roster of vehicles, Pacific Drive features only one car, the station wagon, that players must take care of as survivability and further exploration of the map hinges on the vehicle's health. Players scavenge for parts from the abandoned factories or forgotten automobiles inside the Zone to customize the station wagon to enable them to progress through the game. Customizing the station wagon boosts its defenses and changes its appearance.
Pacific Drive features unique anomalies and supernatural dangers that players must discover and navigate to further uncover the narrative of the game.
