Directive 8020, huh? So, Supermassive Games is throwing us another one of their spine-tinglers on October 2. You’ve got a PS5? Great, because that’s where it’s coming. Yeah, excitement! Or nervousness, maybe. Who can say?
First thing you see? Some funky age gate. Why do they always do this? It’s like they suspect we’re all lying about our birth dates. A bit annoying, but whatever. Oh, and there’s a creepy thumbnail, promising more shivers than a winter night.
Now, let’s dig into the juicy stuff, shall we? These are the folks behind UNTIL DAWN and THE QUARRY—real masters of the creepy interactive thrillers. This time, we’re venturing into the depths of outer space for a sci-fi horror ride. Earth? Yeah, it’s on the brink. Tau Ceti f, 12 light years away, is the prize. But wait—Cassiopeia, the colony ship, crash-lands (of course it does) and it turns out… well, surprise! The crew isn’t alone. Because space isn’t terrifying enough without some alien menace mimicking its victims. Classic switcheroo, right?
So there they are, trying to survive this mess and, surprise again, they need to think about whether to save their own skins or risk everyone’s back on Earth too. No pressure, crew! But hey, we’ve all been indecisive before. Do I have toast or, wait, is that banana bread? Okay, not quite the same, but you get it.
Check out the visuals—a powerful astronaut character played by Lashana Lynch, apparently. You’re onboard, facing nerve-wracking decisions and a shape-shifting alien lurking in the shadows. You’d better have reflexes like a cat and the stealth of a ninja. And trust? Maybe rethink that. “In space, death takes many forms,” they say… dramatic, isn’t it?
So, yeah, if this sounds like your jam, October 2 is the date. Better prep for a scary deep space ride where the unexpected lurks—perfect for a night in, lights out. Enjoy, maybe… Or maybe just get freaked out. Who knows?
