A light flickers in the darkness. Moments after taking our first steps in Directive 8020, a mechanical groan warns of a nearby object's imminent fall. It crashes to the ground before us, echoing throughout the cavernous metal passageway. The reverberation grows louder, louder, louder still, and then…silence.
This hands-off demo of Directive 8020 is something I've been looking forward to for weeks. As I watch Supermassive Games' creative director Will Doyle play through a late-game sequence, accompanied by executive producer Dan McDonald's play-by-play explanations, the questions keep coming. This is not just any upcoming horror game, but the next instalment of The Dark Pictures Anthology that marks both a new season and a brave next step for the episodic series as a whole: it's going survival horror.
