Sure, let me take a whack at that:
—
Okay, so, um, there’s this game, right? Directive 8020. It’s by those Supermassive Games folks, you know, the ones who did UNTIL DAWN and THE QUARRY. If you’re into that whole cinematic horror vibe, mark your calendar for October 2 on the PS5. Or don’t. Up to you.
Anyway — wait, no — let me set the scene. Picture this: Earth’s kinda on its last legs (again). The only hope? Tau Ceti f. It’s like, way out there, about 12 light years from our cozy blue planet. And wouldn’t you know it, the ship Cassiopeia crash lands. Not exactly a warm welcome, huh?
But there’s the kicker. They’re not alone. (Isn’t that always the way?) Some alien thingamajig ‘round here with a nasty habit of playing pretend with anything it wants. The crew? They gotta outsmart it or, well, become space dust. The twist? Save themselves or, uh, put Earth in even deeper doo-doo.
Oh, oh, and the game? It’s got Lashana Lynch in it. You might remember her from The Woman King or maybe that Bob Marley movie. Here, though, she’s an astronaut taking names in space. The cinematic storytelling they’re peddling… it’s supposed to make you feel like you’re there. No pressure.
Meanwhile, there’s some alien menace creeping around those ship corridors. Not exactly friendly. You’d better hope those reflexes are on point because… yikes.
Oh, and trust? Forget about it. With aliens imitating everyone, nobody knows who’s who. It’s like that one time I thought my cat was a sock. Turns out, it wasn’t. But I digress.
Space, huh? Full of surprises. And death, apparently. Go figure.
So there you have it. October 2. PS5. Be there or… don’t. Whatever.
