The Quarry is slated for release on June 10 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Players can either desperately fight to keep their protagonist of choice alive, or lean back and leisurely choose their fate. Keep in mind that Sam and Mike have the most action and Josh and Jess have the least, with Chris, Ashley, Emily and Matt coming in around the middle. With four players, for example, each would be assigned two characters.
There will also be adjustable difficulty settings for all gameplay elements, including Movie Mode, where you can watch the horror happen instead of playing. Here’s how it works: each player is assigned an even (ish) number of characters from Until Dawn’s roster of eight. The counselors will have varied relationships, friendships, and flirtations, and it’ll be up to the player to decide who dies, who lives, who betrays whom, and who gets together. The group can either have each player take control of a counselor, or vote together on all the big decisions.
Much like Supermassive’s other series, The Dark Pictures Anthology, which has co-op modes, The Quarry will allow players to invite up to seven friends to their game. The Quarry looks like campy fun, and the large number of playable characters is intriguing. Since the horror-themed video game Until Dawn became a worldwide smash.
