Directive 8020 marks the start of the second season of the Dark Pictures anthology, reminding us exactly why we love the series and the horror games created by Supermassive Games.

Despite this, Directive 8020 is a great start to Dark Pictures' second season of horror. For the first time in the series, Directive 8020 sends players into space. It focuses on a cursed shipwreck where the Cassiopeia is sent to scout for humanity's first exoplanet colony in desperate hope to escape a dying Earth. Of course, it doesn't go as planned.
