The latest installment in the Dark Pictures series, Directive 8020, is now available. Developed by the creators of Until Dawn and The Quarry – Supermassive Games – this interactive horror game takes the series to space for the first time, appearing on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Publisher Bandai Namco calls it a sci-fi survival horror experience inspired by ‘The Thing.’ It builds on the Dark Pictures format with new features like real-time dangers, stealth gameplay, and a ‘Turning Points’ system that lets players rewind and change decisions. Initial reviews are generally mixed-to-positive, praising the game’s immersive atmosphere but noting some inconsistencies in its overall execution.
