A new trailer for Directive 8020 came out today from Supermassive Games. The studio shares a look at one of the game's features, Turning Points, and how they'll work in this sci-fi survival-horror narrative adventure.
The trailer plunges players into the heart of the spaceship Cassiopeia, demonstrating “The Scanner,” where crew members must be scanned to see if they’re human or alien. Action intensifies as the hydroponics bay is overrun by an alien substance, where two crewmates face off with alien mimics of themselves and fans are introduced to horrifying Hunter Variants of characters Cernan and Williams.
The trailer also presents a major new gameplay mechanic: Turning Points. This series-first feature gives players the ability to rewind to pivotal points in the story, replaying decisions to unlock different narrative paths, discover missed content, or change outcomes entirely, offering a new level of player control. And for players who want the full-pressure experience, Survivor Mode keeps things unforgiving with no rewinds.
