Developed with Unreal Engine 5, Directive 8020 pits the crew of a colony ship crashed on the planet Tau Ceti f against an alien organism that can conceal its identity. The game offers brand new stealth mechanics with a survival theme. Are you talking to the crew or an alien? You can never be sure, making your choices that much more risky and complex. Hollywood star Lashana Lynch plays astronaut Young in the trailer. Tactical battles, improvised weapons and a great atmosphere await you.

The world is dying and humanity is running out of time. Twelve light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small glimmer of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, the crew soon realizes they are far from alone.

Hunted by an alien organism that can mimic its prey, the Cassiopeia crew must outwit their pursuers to make it home alive. As they fight for survival, they face the most difficult choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth.

Death in space comes in many forms.
