Dead Static Drive is a horror survival adventure. You're on the road. The world begins to fall apart in front of you. Your friendships will make every bit of difference as order collapses and the people you meet fight for their own survival. Sneak, scavenge, fight, befriend, barricade and bunker-in or steal a car and drive off into the sunset. There's no escape; there's only what you choose to do with the little time that's left.

About the story

You’re roaring an 80s muscle car down the interstate when you see someone snatched by something dreadful in the darkness. You save them, but they pull a gun and steal your car. You walk to a diner. It feels safe. As night falls, noises in the darkness outside change your mind. The door crashes open. You’re cornered. Now there’s a woman with a baseball bat beating the things over the head. Can you trust her? Do you really have a choice?

Dead Static Drive has glimmers of interesting Lovecraftian art, but fails to captivate with floaty driving, broken quests and game-breaking bugs further brought down by a general sense of aimlessness and lack of cohesive vision

The journey is often more important than the destination, but Dead Static Drive fails to live up to its premise across the board. From unbearable driving and combat mechanics to a wasted chance to build a truly unique world, there isn’t anything to propel you to journey across this iteration of 1980s Americana. A disappointing end to years of promising development updates, Dead Static Drive feels like an early access release 11 years in the making. I looked forward to finally getting in the driver’s seat, but looks can be deceiving.

Dead Static Drive is a pretty, broken game. The poor gameplay mechanics and constant issues with quest progression further drag down what is otherwise a disappointing title.
