Directive 8020

## Anthology Guide

***Directive 8020*** is the first installment of the second season of *The Dark Pictures Anthology* series, and the fifth installment overall.

It is an interactive horror video game with space horror elements under development by Supermassive Games and will be published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for a multi-platform release.

## Development

The title of the game was trademarked on February 1, 2022 along with 4 other titles, although no information was known about it.

The first glimpse of the fifth installment in the anthology and the season two premiere appeared in *The Devil in Me*'s gold picture showing a pair of astronauts walking on the outside of a spaceship, before one of them is blown away due to an explosion from inside the ship. Moreover, as the credits end, the teaser trailer is shown.

The teaser opens with a voiceover of Commander Stafford of the forward reconnaissance vessel Cassiopeia in the Cetus constellation. He says that his crew has successfully rendezvoused with the Charybdis marker and detached the booster ring, and the crew are in high spirits as they make their final approach to Tau Ceti f. He also reports that the ship suffered a minor impact that the technicians are restoring. The audio then cuts to a broadcast from Thomas Carter, who reports that something is wrong with Simms, and that she is trying to kill him. It then cuts back to Stafford reporting that their next transmission will be broadcast from orbit around humanity's future home, before he signs off.

The video of the teaser depicts the abandoned Cassiopeia, with a cracked space helmet and blood droplets floating in front of a window that looks out onto Tau Ceti f, a potentially habitable exoplanet with a sinister purple glow. There are two brief cuts to footage of a pink growth within the ship interior.

On December 31, 2023, Supermassive Games posted a teaser for the game featuring the purple planet being observed on a camera with static.

Devil's Gonna Come

***Devil's Gonna Come*** is the song featured in the character introduction trailer of *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s third installment, *House of Ashes*. Performed by **Raphael Lake** and **Royal Baggs**, this soulful country song describes a man waiting for his death and demons.

## Lyrics

*The broken and fallen,*

*dangled souls been sent to burn.*

*Nowadays they've been calling,*

*telling me soon gonna be my turn.*

*Head down walk with reason,*

*know that when the daylight dies,*

*Gonna have to face my demons,*

*life of sin and a life of lies.*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down,*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down.*

*Gonna lay by the river,*

*gonna rest my eyes,*

*Cause I know this time tomorrow,*

*there ain't gonna be blue skies*

*I walk a lonely mile,*

*so many years I roam,*

*I'm sinking slowly so low,*

*Lord won't you take me home.*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down,*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down.*

*Now I'm buried in a shallow grave,*

*by the riverside.*

*Knocked off with a granite stone,*

*and the day I died.*

*Let down for no good reason,*

*chose to walk the way.*

*I did And now whatever I see,*

*comin' up ahead.*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down,*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down,*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down,*

*(Now I know)*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down.*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down.*

*The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down.*

## Trivia

* *Devil's Gonna Come* was also used as the Hacketts' main theme in *The Quarry*, another game developed by Supermassive Games.
* The lyrics *"The devil's gonna come when the sun goes down."* fit the lore of *House of Ashes*, since the vampires, also known as demons, are only active at night or in places without sunlight.

*MEDICAL HISTORY*

*PATIENT'S NAME: MUNDAY, Hector Waylon*

*FAMILY PHYSICIAN: Charles Brown, MD*

*08/30/72*

*I saw Hector (7 year old male) in my office today. He was accompanied by his mother who informed me that Hector is complaining of feeling sick and very tired. Upon examining Hector he appears to be mildly undernourished. He is underweight and has very pale skin. Mother also prescribed 2mg Diazepam tablets to be taken up to three times a day when requested.*

*09/27/72*

*I saw Hector (7 year old male) in my office today as a follow up to a recent hospital admission for acute bronchitis. Hector had collapsed during school lessons. Hector is recovering well from the virus in the two weeks since hospital admission which was likely caused by mixing with other children at school while his immune system was weakened by malnutrition. When examining Hector's chest, I discovered bruising on his underarms and shoulders - caused by "rough play" at school. Hector advised to avoid such activity. Mother advised to refrain from smoking around Hector especially while he's recovering. I will arrange follow-up appointment in one week.*

*MEDICAL HISTORY*

*10/04/72*

*I saw Hector (7 year old male) in my office today at my request. Hector has almost fully recovered from bronchitis. Bruising has worsened - caused by significant force - more likely an adult than school friends. Arrange to follow up in one week.*

*10/12/72*

*I saw Hector (7 year old male) in my office today at my request. He was accompanied by his grandfather, George. Hector's original bruising has subsided. Grandfather advised that I examine Hector's legs. Ankles swollen with cuts as if he has been restrained. Grandfather suspects that Hector's mother isn't coping. Arrange follow up with Hector's mother.*

## Premonition

A revolver is aimed at the bus driver's head.

## Outcome

Preparations for the premonition occur in Off Track when Andrew stumbles upon a shack where he must find a revolver. For the premonition to be fulfilled, Andrew must keep the gun until the finale.

Then, in Surrounded when the protagonists are running away from the Hanged/Burned Demon, Andrew runs into Vince. For the premonition, Andrew must be friendly with Vince, which will lead to him not calling the police on Andrew.

Finally, Angela, John, Daniel and Taylor must all die before the ending. This can be achieved either by letting them die in their confrontations with the demons, keeping their locked traits or letting Mary die in Full Circle.

The premonition itself will happen in The End. If the conditions above have been complied with, Andrew will stay at the Clarke house and point a gun at himself. The following results:

* If Mary is executed, Megan will scream at Andrew, causing him to commit suicide.
* If Mary is saved, Megan will appear behind Andrew and comfort him, stopping him from committing suicide.
* If the revolver runs out of bullets, the suicide attempt will fail.

Either way, Andrew will be revealed to be Anthony and the bus driver.

## Location

**Attorney Letter** is a non-collectible item in *Little Hope.* It can be found by Andrew, Daniel, or John outside the Ravenden Textiles Factory. This item appears in Heavy Burden.

## Overview

A muddy letter from a law firm to someone involved in the factory, confirming that the RBAD Consortium overseas does not have enough money to give to the Carver family to buy the land around the factory, meaning that everyone will lose their jobs.

## Transcript

*Lang and Abrams*

*Attorneys at Law*

*325 Bankhouse Road*

*Chalmers Hill*

*October 1977*

*To: Frank McCarthy*

*TLUA, Local 618*

*Dear Mr. McCarthy,*

*Following our conversation last week we have received news that the RBAD Consortium have* [sic] *been unable to raise the finance to complete the deal with the Carver family for the purchase of LHT Ltd and the real estate around the factory.*

*I understand your conversations with the family and company have revolved around retaining jobs for former factory workers on the new land development. However, it's plain that we must expect the worst. The entire Harvard Road deal is in jeopardy and unless there is a change or a new buyer emerges soon, there will be no employment on the site after November.*

*Sincerely,*

*Jonas Lang*

## Location

It can be found to the left of the path among a pile of trash while searching for the other protagonists.

## Trivia

* There is a misuse of "have" instead of "has" after the name of the consortium.
* The year at the top of the letter is 1977, meaning that most of Little Hope had been deserted and the factory had already been closed when it was written. A newspaper reveals that the town wasn't entirely abandoned until 1979.

### Status

Determinant

**Conrad**, also known as **Connie**, is a supporting character in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s fourth installment, *The Devil in Me*. He is a dog previously owned by the Morello family.

## Appearance

Connie is a black and white American Staffordshire Terrier. He wears a black collar.

## Personality

Given his limited role in the story, little can be gleamed about Connie's personality. However, he appears to react violently to Du'Met, growling in his presence and attacking him if he's present during the speedboat ending. This is most likely due to the fact that Connie's owners were killed by Du'Met.

However, Connie does appear open to making friends, such as when he approaches Mark and lets himself be pet if Mark shows himself to not be a threat. Connie later remembers Mark and gets on the speedboat when Mark calls out to him.

## Biography

Connie was the pet dog of the Morello family, and traveled with them to Granthem Du'Met's island in October of 2022. At some point before Du'Met began murdering the family, Connie escaped from the hotel and started roaming around the Hotel Grounds.

Abandoned Ship

***.***

## Chapter Guide

**Abandoned Ship** is the first chapter of Act 2 in *Man of Medan* and the ninth overall.

The player controls Conrad/Fliss (Theatrical Cut) and Julia (Curator's Cut) as the group, under the forced escort of the pirates, steps aboard an abandoned World War II freighter.

## *Abandoned WW II Freighter, 1:01 A.M.*

The Duke of Milan floats near the abandoned freighter, while the group looks grim. Danny finds a ladder to the ship and Olson docks it. Before climbing the ship, Olson orders Junior to pull out the distributor cap, much to Fliss' displeasure. The pirates climb the ladder and force the protagonists to go with them: first Danny, then Junior, Conrad, Julia, Alex, Fliss, Brad (if he was found in Intrusion or Storm), and finally Olson.

* If Conrad was shot in the leg, after jumping onto the ladder, he will slip a bit.
* If Julia has decompression sickness, after jumping onto the ladder, she will feel discomfort.

The group goes to the second floor of Cargo Hold 3, looking at it with amazement. As they walk across the bridge, the group expresses their distain for the ship. On the bridge, the protagonists may try to pick up a guard duty schedule laying on a table, but Danny will knock it out of their hands before they can take a look at it, after which the document falls to the first floor. As Julia is about to enter, her bracelet gets caught by the doorframe. She tries to pick it up, but Olson pushes her into the hall before she can do so.

As the protagonists starts walking, they get distracted by a loud noise to the side before Olson once again pushes them forward, after which a decomposed arm will fall behind them. The protagonists continue to make negative comments about the ship, while Junior and Danny make hesitant comments about not finding anything worthwhile. In the adjoining room, the protagonists can take a look at a soldier's uniform. Taking too long will cause Olson to yell at the them.

The protagonists leave the room before turning a corner and sees Danny attempting to open a hold door, but to no avail. Continuing on, they move down the hallway before stopping briefly after Alex gets scared by a rat. In any case, they moves on before coming across another corner. There, the protagonists may find a secret laying on a crate to the right.

The group continues walking on until Junior finds an empty room and yells to Olson about it. He tells the group to go into the room, which they do.

***.***

## Chapter Guide

**Incinerator** is the seventh chapter of Act 2 in *The Devil in Me* and the twentieth overall.

The player controls Charlie as he tries to find a way out of the hotel's basement. This chapter is exclusive to the Theatrical Cut.

## *Basement, 11:52 P.M.*

Charlie wakes up in the basement with his ears ringing. He says he has to get out of there and can explore the small cell he is in to find the door locked and no response when he calls through the vent he fell down. He can pick up the key to his cell from a box on the wall, but as he does so a small flame shoots out and burns his fingers, causing him to drop it.

After unlocking his cell door, Charlie can now explore the rest of this section of the basement. In the next room he can find:

* Photos of Victims.
* Foreman's Log. After putting it down he hears a small metallic sound and distant footsteps.
* A switch on the wall. Pulling it opens the door to the next room and starts a nearby gramophone, which begins to play classical music.

In the next room Charlie finds another switch which opens up the next room, and can also observe a small doll tied with rope around the handle of another locked cell door nearby. In the room after that, Charlie can pull another switch to unlock the next room and look through a slat in the wall at the room outside the cell he started in. In the next room Charlie can find an obol in a drawer that he must use his business card to open before turning the final switch, which turns off the lights and replaces the classical music with the sound of a man screaming in pain. As Charlie goes back the way he came, he finds the now-headless doll burnt and on the ground, with the door it was tied to now open. Charlie can enter the final room and go through the open door to the furnace, where his cigarettes lie on the ground.

Upon picking up the cigarettes, Charlie is relieved until he realizes he doesn't have a lighter, and turns around as the door to the furnace slams shut.

* In Theatrical Cut, clips of Riddles are then displayed to show how Kate, Mark, and Jamie got to the room with a live feed of the furnace.

## Transcript

(on front)

*Finds Catalogue 1*

*Van Huyten*

(page 1 and 2)

*An increasing number of finds reference the Curse of Naram-Sin. This sermon on the relationship between gods and kings dates to the Ur III period of Mesopotamia.*

*Naram-Sin is an Akkadian king, grandson of Sargon the Great, founder of the Akkadian Empire. The historical record shows him as a pious man who honoured the gods. However, the man presented in the Curse stories is very different. The mythic Naram-Sin is a Job-like figure abandoned by the deities. He rages against the gods then wages war on them.*

*This blasphemy is repaid with curses, the first of which is an invasion of Gutian mountain tribes. This war causes a famine that destroys Naram-Sin's people.*

*The moral is that man must accept suffering, however mysterious and unknowable the gods' intentions. Naram-Sin should have endured the trials, no matter how arduous. In picking a fight with the gods, Naram-Sin fought a battle he could not win.*

(page 3 and 4)

*Related finds:-*

*A29 - Clay tablet (undated Akkadian). Cuneiform on one side. This cuneiform is a holy chant to ward away evil spirits.*

*A59 - Clay tablet showing arrangement of stars (Undated Mesopotamian). The constellation looks like Cetus. Did these stars have significance to the temple priests?*

*A143 - Fragment from a haematite cylinder seal, decorated with vertical columns of cuneiform surrounding an image of a large Gutian city. The Akkadians believed the Gutians were demons; this find suggests they were more civilised than previously reported.*
