Take a look!
Details of a Digital Deluxe Edition of Supermassive’s next Dark Pictures game, Directive 8020, were recently shared by the developer alongside publisher Bandai Namco.
News of the special edition came alongside a new gameplay trailer and details of a new gameplay mechanic called “Turning Points”.
According to the pair, Turning Points give “players the ability to rewind to pivotal points in the story, replaying decisions to unlock different narrative paths, discover missed content, or change outcomes entirely, offering a new level of player control. And for players who want the full-pressure experience, Survivor Mode keeps things unforgiving with no rewinds.”
