About

Head back to The Zone as you bear witness to the emergence of a fervent cult fixated on Anomalies, adding an exhilarating twist to the latest extension for Pacific Drive.

Exploring ‘Whispers in the Woods’ becomes an exhilarating journey for me, accompanied by my reliable station wagon. This fresh expansion, accessible once you’ve progressed past the initial game hours, leads us into a never-before-seen, enigmatic corner of the Olympic Exclusion Zone’s forests.
