Alright, so let’s dive into the chaotic whirlpool that is my brain right now because — wow, Directive 8020 is launching on October 2, exclusively on PlayStation 5. Do I sound hyped? Maybe. Just a bit.
I mean, I saw this image, right? It was the thumbnail from YouTube — kinda odd that it stuck with me, but here we are. Anyway, it’s coming from Supermassive Games, the folks behind UNTIL DAWN. Heard of it? Sure you have.
So, picture Earth — yep, our blue dot — is, like, shrivelled up. Twelve light years away, Tau Ceti f could be a saving grace. But the fun starts when the fancy colony ship Cassiopeia has a bit of a hiccup and crash-lands. So, crash — bam — straight into adventure fodder. Not alone, naturally. They’re stalked by something nightmarish, doing the ‘mimic’ thing. Can you imagine? It’s like a bad sci-fi movie, yet here we are enthralled. Survive? Maybe save Earth? Choices galore. What’s a human to do?
Oh, this one part got me — an alien organism mimics its prey. Now, picture if your buddy next to you is actually… not your buddy? Wild. And decisions—they’re huge since we’re talking about life and death. Space roulette, if you will.
And about the features (this is the part I’m supposed to tell you, right?) — it’s got Lashana Lynch (yes, her!) as Young, this kickass astronaut. It’s cinematic, super intense. Imagine dodging aliens, with your wits as your weapon. Trust no one, they said. Easier said than done when what looks human isn’t.
Alien threats, yeah, they come out in real-time. No pause. Dark corridors, split-second choices, and maybe, just maybe, you make it out alive.
Alright, I rambled. But the thrill folks, it’s quite the ride. If I go on, I’ll sound like a broken record. So, anyway — troopers, hang tight for October 2. Might just change how you see survival horror. Or not. Who knows, maybe I’ll get distracted.
