Did... Did they do this on purpose? Did they know!?

#Thomas Cross#Aphelion#Mikael#Mikael Cernan#(I assume that would be his name!?)#directive 8020#Hows this for vaguely niche references did anyone else even play Aphelion!?#I mean I wanted to write an Aphelion/D8020 cross over anyway but like... this was just HANDED to me.#It's a bad year to be called T(h)omas in a space video game about finding another planet because Earth is messed up!#Still funny to me these games released 2 weeks apart and had similar-ish narratives.#Is it the same face model? I thought that Aphelion was using the actors faces but NOW I'm not sure!#I kinda hope the Aphelion team decided to launch two weeks ahead of D8020 to mess with SMG because that would be SO funny#The idea of SMG and Don't Nod talking to each other to do this is also very funny to me (I'm 99% sure that never happened DW.)
