Sure, here it is:

So, there’s this game—Directive 8020 from Supermassive Games. You might recognize them from UNTIL DAWN and THE QUARRY. Anyway, it’s hitting PlayStation 5 on October 2. Seriously, go check it out if you’re into that kind of thing!
I don’t know why, but the whole “enter your birthdate” thing for the trailer gets me every time. I’m just here for the video!
Anyway, the game’s like—Earth is totally on its last legs, right? And here we are trying to save it, hopping 12 light years away to some place called Tau Ceti f. The ship—Cassiopeia, fancy name huh?—crash lands there. Surprise, surprise, they’re not alone. Because OF COURSE, there’s this alien shape-shifter thing. If that’s not stressful enough, they have to make these intense choices, like saving themselves or basically dooming Earth. Fun family time, truly.
Hold up, there’s more—Lashana Lynch is in it! You know, from Bob Marley: One Love and The Woman King. She’s the astronaut ‘Young’. And yeah, it’s sci-fi horror, so expect jumpscares and heart palpitations. (Am I selling this or what?)
Let’s talk features. Real-time alien threats—sounds like you’ll need crazy reflexes and maybe a nap afterwards? Sneaking around, makeshift weapons, it’s like… being thrown into an existential crisis in space. Honestly, who’s real and who’s the alien—isn’t that just a metaphor for modern life? Trust me, this game’s got layers.
Images in your face—spaceship corridors, aliens, you name it. If this isn’t what you imagined outer space to be, maybe it should be.
Anyway, uh…I lost my train of thought. Just go play the game, it’s wild.

Hope that feels more human!
