Okay, so here’s the deal. There’s this new game called Directive 8020, and it’s coming out on the PlayStation 5 on October 2. You gotta check it out—I mean, if you’ve got nothing better to do or just want a new game to get lost in. No pressure.
Oh, before I forget—there’s this video thing. You gotta put in your birth date to watch it. I mean, seriously? But yeah, just a heads up.
So here’s the scoop: it’s from the folks who made UNTIL DAWN and THE QUARRY, so you know it’s gonna be one of those sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-sofa kind of games. It’s got that whole sci-fi horror vibe. Earth’s a hot mess, running out of juice, and there’s this glimmer of hope, like way out at Tau Ceti f—12 light years away. Cassiopeia, the ship, crashes there. And guess what? The crew quickly finds out they’re not exactly on a solo mission out there. Creepy, right?
There’s this alien organism—it mimics prey. Think about that for a second. You can’t really trust your eyes. The crew’s got to outsmart these things all while considering if saving themselves means dooming everyone back on Earth. Heavy stuff.
By the way, just wanna drop in that Lashana Lynch, you know, from Bob Marley: One Love and The Woman King, is in this. She plays ‘Young’, this groundbreaking astronaut character. And yeah, you’ll be traveling through those deep space vibes, trying not to become alien chow yourself.
What else? Oh yeah, those aliens—real-time threats snaking through the ship’s corridors. Everything’s dark and sketchy. You gotta be quick, use whatever you can grab as a weapon. Sometimes it’s about what you can find, not what you want. Life’s funny that way, especially in space.
Anyway, just remember this: in space, you can’t just trust anyone. That alien lifeform? Perfectly imitates its prey. Everyone’s looking over their shoulder. The stakes? Pretty much otherworldly.
That’s the rundown, give or take a ramble. It’s a game that’ll mess with your head. Who’s in? Or maybe not. Choices, choices.
