Ahh really.....I thought this was going to be their next big game with the scope of The Quarry. Not another Dark Pictures.

They've been working on this one a lot longer, much longer than any of the previous Dark Picture games. Also it's supposedly using new tech their previous games haven't had. So, while it might not be as big as Quarry, it'll be a good test-bed for their future stuff.
 


Directive 8020 leans into themes of paranoia, isolation, and fear of the unknown – which makes for an excellent setup for a Dark Pictures game. The developers were particularly inspired by sci-fi films like Event Horizon, Alien, and John Carpenter's The Thing, which helped establish the style of horror and sense of dread that Directive 8020 goes for, and with the focus on giving players more direct control of the action while also heightening the sense of distrust in your dwindling party of survivors, it looks to offer one of the more unique and game-changing episodes the series has seen yet.

They certainly went out of their way to make one of the most generic and homely looking cast of characters I've ever seen.
 
Next "Dark Pictures Anthology"

Is not the marketing term they think it is

They sell enough and have gathered themselves enough of an audience that theyve projected they will be able to complete all 8 games.

My GF absolutely loves these games, I personally dont like playing them but im willing to sit and watch her go through them, I can see the appeal, when they announced they would manage all 8, her face lit up.

This one having more direct gameplay might make me actually try playing.......im lying im still gonna get it just for my girlfriend to go through it.
It reminds me of The Thing, so hopefully when she clears it, I can finally convince her to watch The Thing movies.......shes hate watching Horror movies but loves Horror games.....dont ask me why.
