Directive 8020
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.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyReactions to Directive 8020 are split, with the core survival horror story earning some praise but the gameplay landing poorly. People liked the premise of the Cassiopeia's crash and the atmospheric, creepy setting, which shows in the decent story score, but the moment-to-moment experience is where it loses folks. The gameplay and value are criticized as shallow or frustrating, and technical performance on PC and consoles comes up as a frequent problem. Supermassive Games' involvement was a major point of discussion, but rarely in a positive light, with many comparing it unfavorably to their previous work like The Dark Pictures Anthology.
