Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game online multiplayer mode update now available

Board the Cassiopeia together from anywhere in the world.

Supermassive Games has released a free update for science-fiction survival horror adventure game Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game, which adds an online multiplayer mode for up to five players.

Here are the details:

Survive Together, Or Don’t
The new online multiplayer mode allows up to five players—(each must own their own copy of the game)—to connect across multiple locations and experience the gripping story that unravels in space, together. Mirroring Directive 8020‘s Movie Night Mode couch cooperative experience, each online player takes control of a crew member aboard the Cassiopeia, taking their turn directly on their own screen and device.
Features include:
Custom Mode – The traditional couch cooperative experience, brought online. Choose your character at the start, and when your character is in play, you’re up!
Round Robin Mode – No character allocation but instead, there’s a set time between each player change.
Choice Voting – Don’t fancy making a difficult decision on your own? On-screen prompts reveal who has voted for an outcome and which way they cast their vote. Follow the majority or break ranks and go your own way!
Mix and Match Your Online Experience Geographically – Any multiple of up to five people can play in any location: five people in five separate locations, two in one, three in another, it’s entirely up to you!
New Customization Downloadable Content – In addition to the multiplayer release, we are also including a new wardrobe for the characters, some rather fetching, retro silver space suits – You may not escape the horrors aboard the Cassiopeia, but at least you’ll look good when being torn apart by a Hunter!
New Premonitions – The classic Dark Pictures feature is coming to Directive 8020: 13 new collectables scattered throughout the game give a glimpse of a potential future; use them to inform your decisions – Ignore them at your peril!
