Directive 8020 is Supermassive Games' next cinematic horror game set in the cold void of space aboard the Cassiopeia, a ship full of scientists voyaging towards humanity's next home. But like most Supermassive Games' it's more than just your typical horror experience, as it treads the line between games and cinema.
One such way Directive 8020, and other Dark Pictures games have done this has been with a cast full of exceptional actors. "We're super lucky to have Lashana Lynch working with us," creative director Will Doyle tells me. "She was absolutely brilliant, she brought such a kind of gravity to it. Our whole cast has been great on this one, and everyone's done really, really well. But as a studio we've been very good at casting."
