With every Dark Picture, we cannot help but wonder, what’s on the horizon, and what story does The Curator want to tell next? The first season of Dark Pictures Anthology concluded in winter 2022. Season two saw its first entry with Directive 8020 on May 12. Its marketing dropped the Anthology branding and doubled down on it when The Curator was nowhere to be seen. It isn’t until you find the Obol Coin that The Curator makes his presence known, photobombing cutscenes, and offering up the next Dark Picture. Season one teaser trailers always announced the title of what’s to come to get fans excited, but Directive 8020 was different. There was no title card. Just an ominous message delivered in the style of analog horror. I strongly believe this was on purpose. And I’m confident I’ve cracked the case.
