After a lengthy hiatus (for them anyway) Supermassive is back with a new Dark Pictures game, Directive 8020. The Dark Picture games come with a lot of collectibles in the form of secrets and Directive 8020 is no different. Using our guide however, you can find them all.

Unlike previous Dark Pictures games, things are much easier to track in Directive 8020 when it comes to secrets. If you pause the game and go to the Turning Points section you can see how many secrets and recordings are in each episode. If you open each episode and look at the sub chapters of each episode you can also see how many are in those specific chapters.

You can also go to the secrets page itself. There you will find a bunch of sections. If you click one, ie the Sleep Crew, you can then see all the secrets tied to that section. In total there are 60 secrets to collect, 50 regular secrets and 10 Simms Recordings.

Additionally there are 5 “0 Death” secrets that are well, secret until you get to almost the end of the game. Once you collect a coin, you can then begin to collect these secrets from previous episodes.

We are going to break things down by Episode and then sub chapter so you can follow along in the order of the game. Keep in mind however that with the new branching storyline you might choose a different path first and therefore you might be slightly out of order. At the end we will do the 0 Death Secrets.
