The Quarry

Supermassive's latest is one of the team's very best - but for one smart, but disastrously implemented mechanic.

Become a supporter of Eurogamer and you can view the site completely ad-free, as well as gaining exclusive access to articles, podcasts and conversations that will bring you closer to the team, the stories, and the games we all love. But this would be added via a "post-launch update," however, with no hard time scale for it and no confirmation of the exact plan for the fix. We've since been told that the team is "working actively to fix" this specific instance of the issue and "prevent it happening" once the game releases, possibly by even turning off the Death Rewind option for this particular sequence or at least giving you a proper head's up. If it hadn't have been for that thoroughly unjust Rewind right at the end of my playthrough, The Quarry - with its stunning visuals, wonderful voice work, fabulous score, and intriguing plot line - would have been one of my favourite games of the year thus far, and one of the best horror romps for some time. It's one thing to kill off a character; it's another to kill off a player's enthusiasm. It's always been my biggest hang up in the Dark Anthology titles, and it hasn't been quelled in Supermassive's latest adventure, I'm afraid. Perhaps most interestingly, The Quarry - ostensibly separate from the Dark Anthology series, but sharing much of its DNA - includes a new feature called Death Rewind, which gives you three opportunities to intervene when a character dies and jump back to make different choices to help them survive. To get to Chapter 10 you have to replay the entire game again; every cut-scene, every chase, every decision, every minute. Beyond a long, tedious spell in a police station jail that outstayed its welcome, it's usually well-paced, too, giving you ample time to get over the action-packed sequences without dulling its shine, albeit with a handful of unfortunate cuts that promptly deflate the tension that had been carefully building for the last ten minutes or so. Sometimes you'll go back just a couple of minutes or so, and other times, you might lose a half hour. You'll soon discover that they're not alone in the woods, and so begins the tricky task of keeping everyone alive long enough to see the Sun come up. If you've spent any time with any of Supermassive's previous adventures, The Quarry's formula is unlikely to surprise you as it deviates little from its established template.

Supermassive Games is set to launch its spiritual successor to Until Dawn, The Quarry, and here's what to know about its digital release time.

Here are the release times for the different platforms: Supermassive Games posted the official release times for The Quarry on its official Twitter account. While these are the confirmed release times from the developer, there's always a chance for the digital launch of a game to be slightly delayed.

The Quarry features a cast of characters trying to survive a horrific encounter, and their success depends on your choices. Jacob is the stereotypical jock in a ...

Jacob tells Ryan there is a box on the wall that controls the cages, so Ryan needs to figure out how to get Jacob out without letting out werewolf Nick. There are several switches in the box, and pulling the wrong ones can have disastrous consequences. This will get him out safe and sound, and he will be free to leave the area through the caves. If you want to save him from himself, here is how to save Jacob in the Quarry. Jacob will have to stay in the electrified cage until Ryan and Laura show up. If you would like to know how to save Jacob in the Quarry, here are some tips for you to follow. While on the ground, take the opportunity to throw dirt in Bobby’s face to give Jacob the chance to get away.

Here is The Quarry timeline explained. This is when the game takes place, as well as information on whether or not it's an Until Dawn sequel.

Like Until Dawn, The Quarry is set during the present time of when the games were being developed. As for the game’s structure, it’s all chronological. The Quarry timeline can be a little confusing, especially for those who have played developer Supermassive Games’ previous title, Until Dawn. Some may even think that The Quarry is an Until Dawn sequel or prequel.

Supermassive Games has given us another peep at The Quarry with a launch trailer at Summer Game Fest, showing off the game's cast of characters further.

Naturally, a character asks the stranger what he's on about before the launch trailer starts good and proper. "It's not a long wait though - online multiplayer will be added via an update by July 8. "We've made the difficult decision to delay the online multiplayer mode to deliver the best possible experience for you," director Will Byles said on Twitter at the time.

In The Quarry keeping all nine counselors alive until morning will net you the Hackett's Quarry Massacre achievement. If you want to find out how to do this, ...

As he reaches the other side, Caleb in monster form will be there waiting for him He then faces off against Ryan. You can choose to either win the QTE and shoot him, and Ryan will bleed out from his wounds, or lose the QTE and get shot in the face by Travis. Either way, the end result, is the same. Move through the scrapyard with Kaitlyn and Dylan until you get to the crane section. As Abi, you get the opportunity to shoot Nick in the poolhouse after he has thrown you across the room. In QTEs, you’ll need to push the analog stick in the correct direction in time to be successful. Either way, see below to find out how to kill everyone in The Quarry and bag the Hackett’s Quarry Massacre achievement.

If you're looking to keep everyone alive in The Quarry and nab the Rough Night achievement, then look no further than our handy guide.

You will undo the remaining infections – most notably Nick’s – and now all the nine counselors are alive and uninfected when the sun rises. This will keep him alive for the remainder of the night Once you are on the trail of Silas, Ryan will offer Laura the vial of werewolf blood that he found when rescuing Nick from Bobby earlier in the night. When things are kicking off after Laura has turned, you will have the opportunity as Ryan to shoot Chris Hackett. You need to do this to save everyone else long enough to progress the story. You want to pick two switches that add up to the cage number you are wanting to unlock. Jump in the lake to try and retrieve the rotor arm. Doing so will mean you can find them again later in the story and use them to escape capture. Be sure to hide the syringe behind the brick in your cell that you freed earlier in the chapter. When Ryan and Laura have found Jacob in a cell, under the Hackett House, there are a couple of interrupts that need your attention. This is the first thing you’ll need to do in The Quarry to keep everyone alive. Then when you’re inside, be sure to find the abandoned toy, and take it with you. Either way, see below to find out how to keep everyone alive in The Quarry and bag the Rough Night achievement.

Rarely do Supermassive Games mess around. With Until Dawn and the triple threat of The Dark Pictures Anthology behind them, they know what it takes to ...

For now though you can get access for yourself by checking out the Xbox Store, the PlayStation Store or the Steam page. And if you prefer to watch rather than play, Movie Mode lets you enjoy The Quarry as a binge-worthy cinematic thriller. Select how you want the story to unfold, kick back, and munch on some popcorn in between all the screams! Dipped in horror, you can be sure that every single action you take and make will have a consequence, shaping the story via the choices you decide on. And that story will then determine which of the characters included lives, or dies. Hopes are high for their latest, the teen-horror summer camp of The Quarry.

Ah, The Quarry's best ending. The one where all the teens don't die. You want it, we've got it. Keeping everyone alive in The Quarry is challenging, ...

Max will always be a werewolf, will almost-always get cured, and will always die if he heads across the water. Those are the key decisions – much easier to keep everyone alive than you might have thought, isn’t it? On the upside, you can kill Jacob with a gun, which you might really want to by this point. Use loud sounds to distract the werewolf. Still, for the main squad of nine, there are a number of ways to get them to the end alive, well, and ready to make their case to the police that no, officer, honest, there were monsters. Even though the game presents them alongside the teens in the closing crawl of who lived and died, some are inevitable for the plot to move forward. Keeping Emma up is mostly in QTEs, but also grabbing the right items. Be nice to him as much as possible, if you really want. Just don’t leave the island. The one where all the teens don’t die. Keeping everyone alive in The Quarry is challenging, though there are a few different routes to take. Naturally, what follows will include giga-spoilers for The Quarry, from start to finish.

The new horror video game The Quarry features stars such as Modern Family's Ariel Winter and Scream's David Arquette, and it deserves a lot of love from ...

If even that is too random for those who wish to factor in predetermined fates, there’s an option where all the characters survive, and an option where they all bite the bullet by the end. As a game that already isn’t overwhelmingly interactive in the first place, with only sporadic exploration accompanying the plethora of dialogue and behavior choices, The Quarry knows that might still be too intense for certain people who just want to check out the game for its story merits. With a general lack of cellphones and other digital devices, the game feels as if it was taken right out of the 1980s, and it plays into that vibe while also subverting certain stereotypes. Had this been a straightforward video game review, I might have felt the need to talk about some of the game’s wonkier moments involving dialogue hiccups and erratic facial animation. Not every character stands equal from a quality or likeability perspective — with Laura, Kaitlyn, and Ryan standing out as my personal favorites — but it’s not due to a lack of effort from the actors themselves. When I was a kid, I distinctly remember setting up Coach Mode in NES’ Tecmo Bowl to mirror whatever applicable NFL games were set for that week, and just watching the computer play itself. At this point in their respective careers, fans have a general idea of what to expect from each of them, and there are no disappointments across the board. As the spiritual successor to Until Dawn, The Quarry definitely wears its affinity for the entirety of the horror genre on its blood-speckled sleeves, meaning players can expect to see a range of influences on display throughout the story. Let’s lay out the rest of the talented ensemble below, though without any character information as not to spoil anything on that front. But more on that below, as we take a spoiler-free dive into why The Quarry is as good as it gets for horror movie fanatics. The company’s summer camp frightfest The Quarry has arrived, and not only is it a total blast, but it’s as close as you’ll get to actually playing a horror movie, with a star-studded mo-capped voice cast (including Modern Family vet Ariel Winter, Scream’s David Arquette, and Prodigal Son vet Halston Sage. While many horror projects live or die by the quality of their effects and other aesthetics, a terrible cast delivering terrible lines can ruin anyone’s else’s best efforts.

The Quarry tasks the player with guiding a group of unlucky teens through the most horrific night of their lives. Max, along with his girlfriend Laura, arrive ...

First of all, Max obviously survives the events of the prologue. Still, here is what you need to do to make sure Max sees the morning. For the most part, so long as you make the decisions we suggest and pass most of the skill checks in the game, things should turn out okay. You might be wondering how to save Max in The Quarry, despite his affliction. Max, along with his girlfriend Laura, arrive early and are the first to face the nightmares of Hackett’s Quarry. Here is everything you need to know to save Max in The Quarry. Also, it is important to note that there are many variables to this game, and short of a step-by-step guide to exactly how to play the game, we cannot guarantee things will turn out perfectly for you.

Some people are asking is The Quarry video game free to play, and here is why you cannot play with a friend at no cost unlike House of Ashes.

There is no free to play multiplayer co-op feature for The Quarry video game. Is The Quarry free to play? The Quarry video game is now out and the unfortunate news is that there is not a free to play co-op friend’s pass similar to The Dark Pictures Anthology with Little Hope and House of Ashes.

Until Dawn was a huge success for Supermassive, as it took players headfirst into a cinematic horror experience in which they could make vital decisions that ...

That decision could be a key one, and it could make a real difference as to whether the character you’re controlling lives or dies. On the official website, it reads: “It’s late summer in the remote forests of upstate New York, and the teen counsellors of Hackett’s Quarry have the camp to themselves for one final night. “In this thrilling cinematic tale, you control the fates of all nine camp counsellors as their party plans unravel into an unpredictable night of horror.

The Quarry gives you a cast of camp counsellors to play as and keep alive. Nick is one such counsellor, a preppy young lad who is the unfortunate first victim ...

This is the only way to help Nick not only survive the night and also break the curse on him. In the interest of getting Nick out of this situation alive, do not let Laura kill him. During these sequences, you will be playing mostly as Abi. As outlined in how to save Abigail in The Quarry, your best bet for keeping people alive is to have Abi be kind to Nick, even when he is starting to act strange. For the most part, these guides will tell you how to get these characters through the night without a scratch on them. If you are wondering how to save the seemingly far-gone Nick, we have the solution for you. First we have to say, there are huge spoilers in this guide.

The video game combines couch co-op bonding with the joy of watching horror films with friends.

Mr. H drives off in a fury, screaming at them to stay inside; instead, naturally, they decide to knick his beer and have a party. A crash, an ear-whispering ghost, and a creepy cop ensure they aren't going to make it. Unfortunately, the group's van has broken down, and they'll have to stay another night.

As fate would have it, I've been able to spend the last week or so with a shiny new review copy of 2K's latest release, and after hours scurrying around in the ...

I had an absolute bloody blast with The Quarry, and I say this knowing that it won’t be for everyone. It’s amazing the emotional nuance that Supermassive has been able to capture via the studio, especially in the characters’ eyes, and it makes for some very convincing scenes. It’s not an understatement to say that The Quarry is an experience you watch more than you play, and I can understand how that may turn certain gamers off. There’s lots of conversation, lots of dialogue choices to make, and enough QTEs to make you froth at the mouth for Shenmue IV. As you can tell, the setup is gloriously ‘80s in flavor, and The Quarry takes that retro foundation and sprints with it. Back in May, I was privy to a preview for The Quarry, Supermassive Games’ new teen horror interactive slasher movie, and I walked (ran?) away wanting more.

That's also true of the five unique posters GamesRadar+ is able to give away to one lucky winner. 2K Games and Posterspy teamed up to commission five artists to ...

We really wanted to push down that route of: actually, it wasn't about them being bad, but we wanted to push the player down the route of suspicion and mistrust. The Hills Have Eyes is another version of this, but the Deliverance comparison to The Quarry is the closest, because in this the folk in question aren't freaks, they're just people with their own ruleset. The Evil Dead was very much a part of our thinking, and you'll see that there's a bunch of POV shots in the game that we pretty much stole to get that same sort of feel [laughs]." "There's two films that I'm trying to choose between [for the last one]. There's Deliverance and then there's Southern Comfort, which is a cracking film, but I think it has to be Deliverance. The feeling films like these capture so well is something like: there's a bunch of people up here, and they've got their own rule-set. And there's this contemporary feel with the modern teenagers, the dialogue, the relationships, and all that sort of stuff. And there's also very much a 50s feel to the Hackett's Quarry setting side to the game. So you're really still talking about this story of discovery; it's still a Who Done It of sorts, more than the standard horror which it is now." We've got a very kickass music track going all the way through The Quarry, and that was very much taken from the idea of An American Werewolf. It just has some fantastic music tracks – Bad Moon Rising, and all of that good stuff. It was considered a huge mistake, but it was really impactful on the audience." "To be really honest, a lot of what we do goes right back to Psycho. When Alfred Hitchcock gets Janet Lee killed right near the beginning of the film – no one believed you could do that with a star! "So we really pushed The Quarry down those avenues – the summer camp, let's make it on a lake. And it wasn't that we stole specific ideas, it was just that you can't go back to before Scream. You can't make horror films from before Scream because all of that stuff is now out in the open.

Seeing as The Quarry offers a great scary homage to 80's summer camp slashers, wanting to further fit the mood is a no-brainer. There's actually a way to ...

Here’s how to get the 80’s outfits in The Quarry. Even if you pre-ordered or bought the deluxe edition on launch, the 80’s outfits will not be available just yet. There’s actually a way to even further get in the spirit with what the characters are wearing.

Here's our breaker puzzle guide for The Quarry to help you free Jacob from the cage during a scene in Chapter 8.

However, this will cause Travis to appear, progressing the chapter further. Should Chris still be around after Chapter 9 (i.e., you didn’t manage to kill him), then Jacob will have to contend with him in a QTE sequence. Then, choose #1 and #4 to open the middle door. You control Ryan who, alongside Laura, will have to explore the cellar of Hackett House. At the far end of the corridor, you’ll see red light emanating from a room. Here are the possible outcomes (you’ll need to pull two breakers to see a particular result): Here’s our breaker puzzle guide for The Quarry to help you free Jacob from the cage during Chapter 8.

You finally get to play as Max in The Quarry, and are faced with your first choice, swim to shore and find the others, or wait.

Read on to find out our answer to the question, Should Max Swim to Shore or Wait in The Quarry? If you choose to wait, you’ll be able to keep Max alive for potentially the rest of the game. Max faces a seemingly simple choice, whether or not he should swim to shore to the main area of the quarry from the island, or stay put.

In Supermassive Games' The Quarry, player choices and decisions can change how the game's events turn out. At pivotal moments in the story, you could be ...

That is all there is to it whether should you break the fuel line or steal the rotor arm. Should you choose to steal the rotor arm, Jacob will end up losing it during his dive into the lake with Emma later on. If you are wondering should you break the fuel line or steal the rotor arm when it comes to the van, here’s what you will need to know.

We chatted to Supermassive Games' Will Byles, director of The Quarry, about the game and the appeal of the teen horror subgenre.

“A bunch of them were actually asking to be in the games, and they're obsessed,” Byles reveals. A number of older, veteran actors also lent their likeness and voices to the game. “The hard thing I think, really, was Covid. It was really difficult to get out into America,” Byles says. The Quarry “is really scary,” Byles says, “but it's also got a degree of lightness to it. “There's a bit where he's been chased by a monster and he's running around, skidding around, and [he] fell on the floor. In a sign that games like Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures anthology are finding a wide audience, a number of the cast came to Supermassive, not the other way around. “The quarry itself is a place called Hackett's Quarry,” he states, “and it's a really evocative place to set a horror. As Byles hints, each of The Quarry’s main characters appear shallow at first introduction, as if they’re putting on a facade. It's about the honesty of relationships.” So I really wanted to look at what the truth is in people as much as possible.” The Quarry might not be the scariest horror game, but it’s one of the most ambitious and creative I’ve played in years. A ton of effort was clearly put into making The Quarry close to the best game it could possibly be.

Completing The Quarry with all playable characters alive is no easy task, but making the right decisions is key to unlocking the best ending.

In the first section, there are a few QTEs to be aware of when climbing the stairs, and failure can result in death. Head to the 3rd office upstairs and investigate the locker; inside is a syringe that will be used later to organize a less risky escape. When prompted with the shotgun choice, GIVE TO RYAN. After some PROBING and REFLECTIVE questions, a sudden event prompt will interrupt the scene as Silas attacks, but DO NOT RAISE GUN yet. After a short cutscene, TAKE COVER and complete the QTE, pausing only to leave a DETERMINED comment before the shootout. Eventually, Laura will escape the cell and be able to roam the police station freely. The trio will now be back around the campfire and Ryan attempts to patch Nick's wound. Consequence: Travis will appear at the end of the prologue to drug Laura and shoot at Max's assailant. Back in the poolhouse, Nick will suddenly grab Abi and throw her across the room. After completing multiple QTEs in quick succession, Ryan needs to SHOUT and then SHOOT the hunter to rescue Nick. DO NOT climb the tree or Abi will be caught; wait instead for the timer to run out. Choose to TAKE THE WRENCHES and break into the bunker. After exploring the woods in The Quarry's prologue and potentially discovering a few Quarry collectibles, Laura will get spooked by an unseen figure and flee.
