Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is a choice based adventure story game developed and published by ‘Supermassive games‘. Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is said to be coming out the 12th of May 2026 on the Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker tryout enjoys a choice based story game that’s done properly and real well. Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is looking to make this their hardest and most punishing game yet of this type. Let’s take a look.

The story of Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is actually interesting. The Earth is dying because of course it is. “Humanity is running out of time”. A colony ship called Cassiopeia crash lands on a planet. This all takes place in Tau Ceti about 12 light years away from what they call home. So already things are looking real bad in the grand scheme of things. It does get worse though. the planet they landed on… they are not alone…

More on that later but let’s remind everyone that the developers of Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game are also the creators of Unreal Dawn and The Quarry. So come on, gamers should know what to expect from games like these. Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is another one of those games where you are watching a story play out in front of you and must make decisions. These decisions is where the action is at. These choices you make, matters. One simple decision can get everyone killed. Trust us on that.

Remember that we said the cow of the crashed ship are not alone. There are aliens here (no Amanda Ripley). A alien organism that has the ability to mimic its targets… or should we say prey. So everyone’s life is in danger. So make all your choices count and not just the meaningful ones. There’s off course multiple endings as well. Now will gamers play honestly and do a no undo play through where you must live with your choices, or will cheat like some pathetic streamers and youtubers who undo, restart or get help from their chat.

It seems like Supermassive games are going for an actually difficult game this time. We want a choice based game that’s ruthless. With many surprises and makes players never feel that safe. Caught off guard. A mixture of obvious and not so obvious. All these other similar games, even from other developers are all easy mode. We want truly difficult. They are dealing with mimicking aliens where they must rely more so on intelligence to survive. High stakes like risking everyone on earth to save themselves. It needs to be hard. You miss one fast quick time event and someone dies. Be cruel this time.

We checked out some gameplay and it’s what we expected. They have their style still clearly in this game with a some awkwardness but it’s nothing major at all. Definitely has a serious tone. The surface of the planet looks barren and bad weather. Only dangerous things live on this planet. The design works here. Of course it’s best to keep things secret and mysterious. X35 Earthwalker himself likes to be surprised, especially with games like this. The less you know, the better.

Overall Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game looks like it’s going to be great. Games like this are usually fun and bring players for a good ride. Paying attention to the details to know what choices to make. Exploring everywhere to make sure to find important items. Paying attention during chase scenes to hit those quick time events and fail nothing. It’s actually hard to mess up games like this. The developers ‘Supermassive games’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game may have deceptive aliens but they can never fool… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Little Misfortune. What’s this about?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Little Misfortune is a interactive story game developed and published by “Killmonday Games”. Little Misfortune is said to come out today on consoles, the 29th of May 2020 on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and already out on PC. We have seen this game before but was never interested but it’s out now. Let’s take a look.

In the world of Little Misfortune, players control Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez. She is 8 years old (remember that as you play) and described as very imaginative (remember that also). Simply put Misfortune “seeks the prize of eternal happiness” as a gift for her mother. So she heads out to find it. She is joined by ‘Mr Voice’ who is basically the narrator and talks directly to Misfortune. Already we don’t trust this voice. She literally just met this voice. 

Now straight from looking at Little Misfortune is suppose to be a cute game with a bit of darkness. Not everything is as nice and innocent as it seems. The decisions players make are said to have real consequences. This means players can mess up. Does this mean you can die in Little Misfortune? Also the official website says that after Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez enters the woods a “little bit of bad luck unfolds”. Not only that we heard there is a monster too. Yep mysterious things are happening here in Little Misfortune. 

We checked out some Little Misfortune gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s even a fox that we just don’t like the look off. Can you blame us? Dora the explorer had problems with a certain fox too after all. It’s a simple colourful story game. Misfortune moves alone, things happen, players make decisions and see what happens immediately and if anything happens later. It’s good to have games like this around. This game does get unpredictable-is at times and a bit dark like accidentally killing a puppy with a party hat. Players need to think carefully about decisions. It’s an adventure but since it’s an imaginative 8 year old girl, call it a story.

Overall Little Misfortune is a nice little game. The game does well to show that we are playing a 8 year old girl. She has a child’s way of talking, an obvious strong accent, doesn’t understand simple things like death, needs to be walked through most things etc. The graphic style is very good and it has lots of unpredictable stuff. We hope this game is really punishing. It’s not our kind of game but almost any type of gamer can get into this and give it a try. The developers ‘Killmonday Games’ has done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will take a peek from time to time to see what it does.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It’s coming soon

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a new open world RPG developed by ‘Warhorse Studios’. It’s coming out the 13th of February for the Xbox One, Play Station 4 and PC. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance players are thrown into the world and times of the roman empire. swords, shields and lots of yelling. Let’s take a look.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, you play Henry who’s the son of a blacksmith. Henry has a peaceful life but that all got ruined when a mercenary raid shows up. Your village is destroyed and burned to the ground. this raid was ordered by king Sigismund himself. Let’s get some of the back story. This all takes place in Europe 1403, in a region called ‘Bohemia’ which had everything going for it. It was had money  rich culture and structures everywhere like castles. Bohemia’s beloved ruler, Emperor, Charles IV  died. Basically one of the Emperors sons, Wenceslas took over the throne but was’t as good as Charles was. Then Wenceslas’s half brother, king Sigimund takes action, kidnaps Wencelas and takes over the place. This off course is bad.

With no where to go, family ruined and off course some sort of vengeance in your heart, you end up in the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla who just so happens to be forming a resistance to combat and fight against the invaders. Now you, Henry, the player are now in the middle of a very bloody civil war. Bohemia needs an hero. Fight and do your best. It certainly won’t be easy. The enemy isn’t a rage tag group of soldiers, they now how to wield a sword as well. Don’t forget that.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - X35 Earthwalker

The developers wanted to make sure that gamers had as many options as possible about how you do things in the game. Use your reputation and charisma to your advantage. Maybe get some residents or characters on your side or get what you need from them. So your responses, words and what you do with certain individual characters and who you impress will definitely matter. So how will you handle your situations? Handle with your words and very polite or will you use force, raise your sword and make them hand it over. It’s up to you. Just don’t forget that freedom of choice is the main thing about this game. There are many ways to complete a quest and it’s up to the player how you do it but never forget that whatever you do will have consequences.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance also payed attention to some smaller details as well. The developers wanted to make this game very realistic as well. NPCs in the game will react to what you do, even if that means reporting you to the authorities. So snitching is a real thing here. There are actually weather patterns in Kingdom Come: Deliverance so rain, probably fog as well. That sounds real cool. It gets better though. There is a functioning day and night system. This is awesome. It adds more layers to the game. You could attack at night in the rain. Or wait for a sunny day. 

We checked out some gameplay and we can confirm that this won’t be a hack and slasher at all. Each fight will require players to use their head and have good timing. Wait for an opening and then exploit it. It’s all European sword fighting. Wield many weapons like swords, maces, off course axes and more like the bow and arrow. Join large battles with many soldiers yelling and swinging their swords and even help with castle sieges. The action is far from dull. It’s definitely something you should check out for yourself. The 1v1 fights can go so wrong very quickly so have the right armour and don’t rush.

Overall Kingdom Come: Deliverance seems like a very cool RPG. The graphics are excellent for a game this large. High attention to details. The animations and weapon control of the characters are all done through motion capture with “experienced sword fighters” (X35 Earthwalker could easily beat them). A lot of effort and time went into Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The developers, ‘Warhorse Studios’ did an amazing job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to see what this game has to offer on a full scale. Now the 15th century is not for everyone but there’s one thing that’s too much for the 15 century and that’s… the ‘Earth Walk!’
