"Players can also experiment with several new gameplay systems, such as the Whispering Tide. This is described as a "mysterious force that grows more perilous" the longer you linger in the Whispering Woods, and to survive, you'll need to equip specially attuned parts to your station wagon that can keep it at bay. Artifacts from Altars will also be found in the expansion, and these offer reality-warping powers that affect both the environment and you."
"It sets out to create a world that fits comfortably in the New Weird genre but brings its own style and substance to it. Though the game can be especially hard to decipher, difficulty options help to counter some of its more overwhelming aspects. I'll stick to bikes in my day-to-day life through the actual northwest, but in Pacific Drive, I'm up for another joy ride through one hell of a winding road."
Whispers in the Woods expansion for Pacific Drive is available now and the game has been ported to Xbox Series X|S. The expansion delivers a new story and content roughly a third the size of the base game, introducing additional anomalies and horrors. New gameplay systems include the Whispering Tide, a mysterious force that intensifies the longer players remain in the Whispering Woods and requires specially attuned station wagon parts to counter. The expansion also includes Artifacts from Altars that grant reality-warping powers affecting the environment and the player. Pacific Drive blends survival, suspense, and a relaxed exploration vibe centered on a station wagon.
