Pacific Drive Gameplay 

In “Pacific Drive,” players embark on a survival adventure set in the Olympic Exclusion Zone of the Pacific Northwest, unfolding in the year 1998. The game unfolds from a first-person perspective as players traverse the landscape either on foot or in a station wagon.

A unique aspect is the ability to customize the vehicle at the player’s garage, serving as the central base of operations. Vehicle diagnostics are managed through a headset, allowing players to address issues like quirky car behavior, such as the horn sounding unexpectedly when turning the wheel. Repairs in the game range from on-the-go fixes like swapping flat tires and using a blowtorch to more intricate tasks handled in the garage.

The Inventing Station within the garage becomes a pivotal resource, enabling the harvesting of materials and creation of machines that unveil new routes, add fuel to the car, and destabilize zones. Facing challenges like metal monsters latching onto the car and weather elements affecting vehicle handling, players must strategize repairs and navigate through electrical anomalies and barriers.

The journey is not just about survival; players can discover crafting recipes, blueprints, and engage with non-player characters to escape the Olympic Exclusion Zone, all while collecting energy cores in each level to unlock gateways and return to their garage, triggering a shift in the game’s dynamics with increased hostility and impending storms.
