Supermassive Games has revealed its latest production, Directive 8020, a gaming experience that emulates the suspense of horror movies, where the player’s decisions directly impact the development of the story. Set in space, players take on the role of a group of scientists and explorers who face an extraterrestrial threat that steals identities and attacks the crew of the Cassiopeia.
They don’t want to lose anyone along the way
One of the most notable features of Directive 8020 is its episodic structure. Divided into eight episodes, the game offers shocking endings at the end of each one, which increases narrative tension and facilitates more manageable gaming sessions. Creative director Will Doyle has mentioned that this approach provides players with the flexibility to schedule their playtime, allowing them to enjoy episodes at convenient times.
The narrative consists of an effective mix of cinematic moments and action sequences that require quick decisions. This lean forward and lean back format creates total immersion in the story, making players feel increasingly connected to the unfolding events. Despite its enigmatic setting, the game manages to convey a sense of cinematic realism, ensuring that the decisions do not feel too game-like, which could break the immersion.
Additionally, players have the option to use a mechanic that allows them to redo decisions or actions, providing a unique and varied experience in each game. With this option, fans will be able to explore multiple endings and correct mistakes, thus enriching their experience. This versatility in gameplay allows each player to make decisions according to their instincts, ensuring that every adventure in Directive 8020 is unique.
