Supermassive Games brings “Guideline 8020“It will be released on May 12th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. A new trailer confirms the focus on local multiplayer mechanics and the central Shapeshifter threat.”
The scenario takes place on the crashed colony ship Cassiopeia. Players assume the role of Young and are confronted with an organism capable of manipulating its physical appearance. According to the trailer, technical scans fail to identify the subject, fueling paranoia within the group: the enemy can assume the form of any crew member. Mechanically, this results in extreme decision-making situations, sometimes even leading to the use of firearms against potential allies.
At its core is an offline co-op mode for up to five players. The system relies on passing the controller around while the group attempts to unmask the shapeshifter. An online multiplayer mode is not included at launch on May 12th; this will be added via a later update. For now, the gameplay's focus is on local social interaction and collaborative deduction.
