"[Pacific Drive] is a story about you and your car, and for some people, driving around in the woods is a very scary experience. But we didn't do a lot to intentionally build on that horror. We just wanted to build on the atmosphere," Dracott said. But the team at Ironwood was influenced by " how scary the game was for some people," leading to them taking this expansion much farther down that path."
"But the team at Ironwood was influenced by " how scary the game was for some people," leading to them taking this expansion much farther down that path. "And it felt very natural as well. Like, we built a very atmospheric experience [...] Our game is built on the familiar, right? We have this car. It is your car. You have your garage. It's your space, right? And it's very easy to start to question the safety of, like, 'How alone are you right now?'""
Pacific Drive centers on upgrading and repairing a station wagon while driving through the Olympic Exclusion Zone, a strange Pacific Northwest stretch populated by SCP-like anomalies and echoing Stalker, The X‑Files, and Control. Whispers in the Woods is an 8–12 hour expansion playable from within the base game and the studio’s first full expansion following earlier patches. The expansion focuses on a group of fanatics obsessed with anomalies and purposefully steers the experience toward horror. The development team, led by Cassandra Dracott, amplified atmosphere and added haunting gameplay elements to make familiar spaces—your car, garage, and roads—feel insecure and menacing.
