The next dark picture game, command 8020, provides players with what they have long been looking forward to

The Dark Pictures anthology reached its fifth horror story in the ongoing series. Will Doyle, creative director of super enterprise, told me, “As long as people keep buying them, the dark pictures will continue, adding that the team has a list of nearly 40 horror puppets that it is interested in solving in the future. But next, Instruction 8020set on the spacecraft, and although I wish it could be played like an alien or event range, it actually comes closer to the thing.
“Since we made (2015), we had people say to us, ‘Do things, do things!’ It’s perfect for multiple characters we control. Elements only fit the mechanics of the games we make.”
Doyle's rights; this fits well. In the multiplayer mode of the game, each player is assigned one character or multiple characters. In a sense, these characters become your ward. It's always tough when you lose your character, but your friends can keep moving forward. Usually, everyone in these playable characters can survive or die, so there has been a long time an interesting social element that blends into the dark pictures: Who can make their people still breathe?
But the introduction of a trust system adds an exciting layer to this. During my demonstration period at the Summer Game Festival, I chose whether to shoot an alien who might be a disguised as one of my crew members. My demo is single player, but it's obvious that multiplayer will make a bet for such a decision.

People who control suspicious aliens may guarantee them, but unlike the game among us, each player knows his or her character and may want to hide or deceive others, where the player is in the dark. You can defend your character passionately, and even save your life by giving another player harmless, just seeing them reveal their true alien form and bite the person who lets you die in rights, but choose to express mercy.
This wrinkle in the series is often an interactive, horror-like experience, and is this twist that should blend new life into a series that the team hopes to continue for years. I've long said that while some dark pictures are better than others, the prospect of new pictures always scares me. Just like the final destination sequel, even a bad sequel pleasure. Directive 8020 not only wants to win the merits of its deceptive monster, but also has to get honors, but I thought the curveball of the recipe I figured out a few years ago was a welcome one.
