The Quarry is a video game version of a fun slasher flick

The Quarry is the next game coming from Supermassive, the studio behind Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures Anthology. I got to play a short bit of the game in a preview this week. Superficially, it’s very similar to those games, but it’s got some fun, campy (no pun intended) vibes that its predecessors lacked.

The game is a summer camp horror flick in video game form, set in the fictional Hackett’s Quarry. You play a handful of teenage camp counselors having one more night of fun at the end of summer. During their joyous evening, some human hunters and something supernatural crash the party. It’s up to the player to keep as many of the teenagers alive as possible, and the choices you make as you play will determine their fates. Yeah, it’s Until Dawn-meets-Friday the 13th.
