One Of 2024's Best Games Is Getting A Huge Horror Expansion

Here is a 190-word summary of the news article: The upcoming "Whispers in the Woods" expansion for the 2024 game "Pacific Drive" is set to transform the game into a major horror experience. Originally more of an atmospheric thriller, the expansion will lean heavily into the game's creepy and unsettling elements. The expansion, which will add 8-12 hours of gameplay, focuses on a group of "fanatics" who are obsessed with the game's mysterious anomalies. These anomalies, previously more natural occurrences, will now pose active threats to players as they drive through the eerie Olympic Exclusion Zone. New gameplay mechanics called "Artifacts" will force players to make risky choices, as collecting too many can draw the attention of dangerous entities. The expansion will also introduce new voiced characters that deepen the game's sinister narrative. While the core driving and exploration loop of "Pacific Drive" remains, the developers have deliberately sought to unsettle players by making the familiar feel unfamiliar and unsafe. For those who already found the base game unsettling, "Whispers in the Woods" promises an even more chilling and unnerving experience.
