Alright, so there’s this new thing from Supermassive Games. They’re calling it Directive 8020. Yeah, it’s dropping on PlayStation 5 on October 2. Pretty soon, right? You might wanna check it out.
Oh, but before I dive into the mess of my thoughts, there’s this video thumbnail thingy where they want you to enter your birth date to watch it. A bit too much, no?
Anyway, here’s the lowdown. So, remember UNTIL DAWN? Or THE QUARRY? Yep, same folks. Now they’re throwing this new, wild cinematic horror into the mix, with like, sci-fi vibes. Earth’s basically on its last legs, which sounds, honestly, a bit too real these days. 12 light years away—weirdly specific, isn’t it?—there’s this place, Tau Ceti f. Imagine crash landing there on the ship Cassiopeia. Boom! You’re not solo anymore. Aliens. They’re sneaky, like really blend-into-the-crowd sneaky.
Picture this: you gotta outsmart these things. They mimic you. Kinda freaky, right? The crew’s gotta juggle survival and making these impossible decisions. Y’know, like, “Do we save ourselves or the whole planet?” Heavy stuff.
Now, going over why this is cool. We got Lashana Lynch doing her thing as a character named ‘Young’. Like, Bob Marley: One Love! Ever seen it? Anyway, she’s this groundbreaking astronaut leader, making all spacey, intense decisions. Deep space horror, anyone? Gives me the chills just thinking about it.
Then there’s the alien nasties. They creep around, all intent on wiping humans out. You’d have to improvise with whatever’s lying around—anything turned into a weapon if you’re quick enough. Or just sneak, if you prefer the shadows. Sounds like a nightmare, right?
And, trust issues—major trust issues. These aliens, man. They act just like us, look like us, maybe even better at our own games. Crew doesn’t know who to believe. Your call! Is that your buddy or… not?
And to top it off, in space, death is like a whole buffet. Pick your poison. Probably a messy, tense ride. I’m kinda intrigued. Could be a wild October!
