About Directive 8020

About this game

From the creators of UNTIL DAWN and THE QUARRY, an all-new sci-fi survival horror adventure.

Hunted by an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey, the crew of the Cassiopeia must outwit their pursuers to make it home alive. As they battle to survive, they are confronted with the hardest choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth.

Featuring Hollywood actor, Lashana Lynch (Bob Marley: One Love, The Woman King) as the ground-breaking astronaut, ‘Young’, DIRECTIVE 8020 is a cinematic horror game that blends intense survival gameplay with meaningful choices and a branching storyline.

EARTH’S LAST HOPE

Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time. 12 light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realize they are far from being alone.

In space, death takes many forms.

Features:

NEXT-GEN CINEMATIC SURVIVAL HORROR

Experience immersive cinematic storytelling and edge-of-your-seat horror on a deep space mission to save humanity.

REAL-TIME ALIEN THREATS

Evade a deadly alien threat that roams the dark corridors of the ship, intent on eradicating human life. Overcome your enemies using improvised weapons, lightning reflexes, and stealth.

REWIND DECISIONS

Rewrite your destiny and change the course of your story with our new Turning Points story tree. Uncover multiple endings, unlock hidden paths, and save your crew from their fateful deaths.

TRUST NO ONE

Encounter an alien lifeform that perfectly imitates its prey. Years of training and trust are lost among the crew when their enemy hides in plain sight. Who is human and who is not? Your choices are now more important than ever!

DON’T PLAY ALONE

Recruit up to five players to join you on your mission in couch-co-op movie night mode. Choose which crew members to control and work together with your friends to survive alien infiltrators, deadly dilemmas, and catastrophic system failures.
