Making a Mimic

Welcome to the fifth Dev Diary for Directive 8020.

In this final episode we take a closer look at gruesome body horror at the heart of the game as well as discuss the decision and implementation of giving players more agency and dialling up the horror by introducing stealth mechanics where exploration can be fatal. 

We also get a deeper look at the collaboration between the art, design and tech teams to create an alien organism that truly felt alive.
