Why The Thing Remastered and Directive 8020 Are Revolutionizing Mimic Horror in Games

Compare and contrast: “The Thing Remastered” mirrors the narrative of “Directive 8020” quite effectively, as both games revolve around shared themes of dread and confusion due to inexplicable extraterrestrial terror. Released in December, “The Thing Remastered” serves as a sequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 film, featuring a new group of protagonists who explore the chilling events at Outpost 31 in Antarctica. Unbeknownst to them, they encounter the same shape-shifting alien monster that had previously wiped out their predecessors. In the same vein, “Directive 8020” seems to be adopting a similar plot, with its characters battling an alien capable of imitating its victims, leading to a suspenseful tale of paranoia.
