About
From the creators of Until Dawn and The Quarry, an all-new sci-fi survival horror adventure
Hunted by an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey, the crew of the Cassiopeia must outwit their pursuers to make it home alive. As they battle to survive, they are confronted with the hardest choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth.
Featuring Hollywood actor, Lashana Lynch (Bob Marley: One Love, The Woman King) as the ground-breaking astronaut, Young, Directive 8020 is a cinematic horror game that blends intense survival gameplay with meaningful choices and a branching storyline.
Earth’s Last Hope
Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time. 12 light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realize they are far from being alone.
In space, death takes many forms.
