We love weird science, stories of on-the-road adventures, and we’ve always been intrigued by the dark, mysterious worlds of games like STALKER or books like Annihilation. In Pacific Drive, we’ve been able to bring these passions together by creating an adventure that takes you deep into the Pacific Northwest aboard a vintage station wagon that, over time, can become your very own 80s sci-fi machine. , significantly modified and improved to explore and face the dangers of the Zone.
