I'm a huge supermassive fan, but I have to admit, their games are hit or miss for me. I've played Until Dawn(not the remake, though), Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes, the Quarry, the Devil in me, and Directive 8020. I have not played the casting of Frank Stone. I don't know anything about dead by daylight, but that doesn't matter to me. All I care about is if it's a good game with good gameplay. What are everyone's thoughts on this game? Did you like it? Hate it? Though meh, it could be better. Should I get it? Would you recommend it? Thanks!

There will obviously be spoilers here for the last episode of Directive 8020.

I am trying to 100% all the episodes, see every death, witness every outcome, get every collectable, etc... I have gotten 100% on every episode, except for the last one. I am at 99%. I am literally missing one consequence, and it is confounding me. It's the consequence right after knock knock(when you see Mitchell at the door, and you can let him in or abandon him). The consequence I'm missing is right between swarmed(where Mitchell dies to the aliens) and duplicitous(where the person at the door is revealed to be an imposter).

The requirements for that consequence says Mitchell has to be alive, Eisele or Cernan is present at the door, and choose to abandon him. So, I did all that. Mitchell is alive. Cernan was at the door. Cooper always answers the door, so I had to kill her. But then, with Cooper dead, Brianna answers the door. This pissed me off. So, I rewound the game, and killed Brianna Young. I must be really dedicated to get this consequence where I purposefully kill two playable characters. Finally, with Cooper dead and Young dead, Cernan answers the door when Mitchell comes knocking. I choose to abandon and....nothing. What the hell? I didn't get the consequence. I even played through to the end and saw the end credits, thinking it might pop later. Nope. My thinking for this consequence is that with both pilots dead, Stafford is forced to fly the sev away, so I was thinking the consequence might be tied to having both pilots, er....not living.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and what you did to unlock that consequence, if you've gotten it? Thanks!

The title would have said Until Dawn 2, but they are actually coming out with that. 😄 I had an idea a long time ago for an until Dawn 2 that I think would make for a pretty good game. I think I heard somewhere that they were reluctant to make a sequel with the same characters because everyone's story is different, and their endings would be different based on their playthroughs. My response to this is I don't care. They can easily come up with a canon because I think people want to see those OG characters.

So....here's my canon. Chris is dead. Jessica is dead. Narratively speaking, I think it would add depth to the story by having Mike and Ashley haunted by their deaths. Josh turned into a wendigo. And Sam is dating.

Here's the story: The game would take place somewhere in the midwest on a ranch. Josh's parents somehow found out about Josh being alive, and since they are rich, hired professionals to go into the mines to retrieve him. Now, he is on the ranch because they are trying to find a cure for him. There are probably other wendigos there to be test subjects.

The parents invite our heroes there one year later to a celebration of Josh. Of course, they don't tell our heroes that Josh is actually there. Sam brings her boyfriend to the celebration, so he would be a new character. Maybe Mike has a girlfriend, I don't know. Or maybe he got back with Emily. Anyways, all hell breaks loose, and Josh breaks free from his confinement as well as the other wendigos. Oh, and instead of it being a huge snowstorm, it's raining so hard that it's flooding, making escape impossible. Again, they have to last until dawn.

I was thinking about turning this idea into a fan fic, but for whatever reason, just never wrote it. What does everyone think?

Hello. This question is for the completionists out there who have seen everything Directive 8020 has to offer. I am trying to see every outcome in every episode, and there is one outcome that is confounding me. There are obviously spoilers below.

It's in episode 5 right between the experiment and broadcast. This is right after Cooper, Eisle, Anders, and "Williams" are conducting an experiment on the specimen, and before you see the real Williams in his office where he can either be put to sleep or killed. Does anyone know what I need to do to unlock that consequence that's locked? I have looked everywhere on the internet and can find no answer to that question, even from sites that claim to be 100% complete and cover all branching paths. Man, it's driving me absolutely bonkers lol. Thanks in advance!

Please, supermassive, for the love of God, please invest in a better writer of your games. The writing sucks. Thie dialogue is subpar, cliche, and generic. The situations are unrealistic, there are logic problems, and the characters don't react in a natural, convincing manner. For being trained professionals, they still react like confused teenagers. I do not know if the writer you have on staff just is not very good, or if you have decided to save money by writing it yourself. Either way, it's not very good and pulls me out of the story. Also, do research before you attempt to write a story set somewhere where you have absolutely no experience. Your ignorance really shows since none of it seems real.

If I compare this game to House of ashes, the difference is astounding. In HOA, the characters acted believably, and I really believed they were trained soldiers. Was there a different writer on that game? I really want to believe that these characters are trained astronauts, but I just can't.

Also, texting. When they text back and forth between each other, every character sounds the same. They all write in complete sentences with correct punctuation. Real texting isn't like that.

I like everything else about the game, but the writing needs work. It's no surprise, Supermassive has always had a problem with their writing, dating all the way back to Until Dawn. I wish I knew where to post this so Supermassive can see it lol.

Anyways, I've had my gripe. Stepping down off my soapbox now and returning you to your regularly scheduled program. Thank you. 😄

Hello. I have a question about the ice storm spell, and I was curious if anyone can offer any clarity about why it didn't do any damage at all to the enemies I cast it on. A little bit of context. I'm playing with a friend. I'm a druid, and he is a barbarian. He wanted to go to Cazador's palace. Fine. So, we went, got to the sealed door, opened it, and almost immediately got into a fight with some wolves, wolfmen, bats, and rats. Since this was the first round of combat, and we were far enough away, and since I was second in the initiative order, I decided to cast ice storm at a group of enemies. It is supposed to do 6-40 damage. If they save, they still take half damage. I cast it, the enemies fell prone, but not a single one of them suffered any damage, like not one single point. It was almost like I hadn't cast the spell, except they were laying on the ground.

That was frustrating because that was a waste of a perfectly good spell slot. I didn't up cast it, if that makes any difference. Anyone have any clue about why the ice storm spell wouldn't cause any damage whatsoever? Thanks.
