Ever since Until Dawn, Supermassive Games has established itself as one of the masters of horror games. The Dark Pictures Anthology has methodically built on that narrative horror expertise with games like Man of Medan and The Devil in Me. But Directive 8020 represents an evolution for Supermassive, a bold step forward for its horror anthology — a step into cosmic and sci-fi horror.
“I’m so proud of the games we’ve done, but one thing I would do differently is spend more time. We had a vision that was insane, one every six months. We had a bunch of reasons why that was going to work, and by challenging ourselves to do it every six months, we actually did one every year,” executive producer Dan McDonald tells Inverse, “Let’s take a bit more time, give the market a chance to breathe and enjoy our games. Give ourselves a chance to get the feedback and understand the direction we want to go in.”
