The Dark Pictures Anthology is expanding with its fifth horror installment, Directive 8020, set on a spaceship, offering a gameplay experience akin to The Thing.
The game incorporates multiplayer components where each player controls specific characters, adding a 'Who do you trust?' element that aligns with the mechanics of previous titles like Until Dawn.
Players must navigate decisions that determine the survival of their characters, creating a social dynamic as they strive to keep their characters alive.
Supermassive's director hinted at a continuous stream of horror subgenres to explore in future Dark Pictures games, emphasizing the series' longevity based on audience reception.
