"Directive 8020 is a survival horror game with a large emphasis on narrative decisions, with your choices ultimately determining which characters survive. This time around, Supermassive is leaning into sci-fi with a story inspired by The Thing. After a colony ship crash lands on a planet that seemed like it could be a safe haven for a dying Earth, the crew is hunted by an alien creature that can morph into other lifeforms, including humans."
"There are five main characters, including pilot Brianna Young, who is portrayed by Lashana Lynch ( No Time to Die). You can play solo or pass the controller between a few friends in a couch co-op mode, with each taking charge of a character or two. Online multiplayer will be added later."
"One thing that makes Directive 8020 distinct from other Supermassive projects is a new feature called Turning Points. This allows you to return to previous decisions and select a different option. The idea here is to make it easier for players to experience all of the outcomes in the branching narrative."
"Directive 8020 is out now on Steam, PS5 (where you can check out a free trial) and Xbox Series X/S. It'll run you $50."
Directive 8020 is a survival horror game in the Dark Pictures series with a strong focus on narrative decisions that determine which characters survive. A colony ship crash lands on a planet considered a potential refuge for a dying Earth, and the crew is hunted by an alien creature capable of morphing into other lifeforms, including humans. Five main characters are playable, including pilot Brianna Young portrayed by Lashana Lynch. Players can play solo or use couch co-op by passing the controller among friends, with online multiplayer planned later. A new Turning Points feature allows players to return to earlier decisions and choose different options to experience more outcomes. The game is available on Steam, PS5 with a free trial, and Xbox Series X/S for $50.
