Pacific Drive is a gloriously horrible trip into the cursed wilderness
A preview of Pacific Drive, which tasks players with exploring a mysterious Zone in an old station wagon.
It's sort of a blend of Roadside Picnic, the novel about scavengers who explore a strange area of wilderness that's been thoroughly messed up by passing aliens, and My Summer Car, the Steam outsider art classic about building and maintaining a real junker and then tooling it through the woods. You're driving through forests in a fairly nice car until, suddenly, everything goes weird and you're on foot, moving through some hellish Zone of cursed science and radioactive anomalies. Instead you need to collect a series of "anchors", little gadgets scattered around the map, and load them into your car at which point a column of light will appear in the distance signalling the position of your exit portal.
