    \n
  • The Quarry<\/em> is a new cinematic horror game from the masters of fright at Supermassive Games.<\/li>\n
  • On the last night of summer camp, the teenage counselors of Hackett\u2019s Quarry are plunged into an unpredictable night of horror.<\/li>\n
  • Every choice you make has consequences and will shape how your unique story unfolds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    Now that The Quarry<\/em> has officially been announced, I\u2019m hugely excited to share what I and the rest of the team at Supermassive Games have been working on. Our next chilling, cinematic horror game takes place at an idyllic summer camp called Hackett\u2019s Quarry. On the last night of camp, our cast of teenage counselors are plunged into an unpredictable night of horror and find themselves unexpectedly hunted by blood-drenched locals and something far more sinister. How this interactive story unfolds is shaped by the decisions you make while playing as each of the counselors, whether that\u2019s in friendly conversation when things are calm or terrifying situations as the night progresses. You\u2019ll be confronted with unimaginable choices as you play, and there is no right or wrong answer\u2014just know that the fate of the camp counselors is in your hands.<\/p>\n

    We have a total of nine playable characters; teenagers who have spent the whole summer working as counselors and are looking to unwind and party together before heading back to their daily lives. That\u2019s assuming they survive, of course (and there\u2019s no guarantee that any of them will). Fans of teen horror movies will definitely recognize some classic archetypes when you first meet these characters, though there\u2019s more to them than initially meets the eye. I think where The Quarry<\/em>\u2018s brand of interactive horror sets itself apart is the myriad ways these characters\u2019 personalities can change as the story\u2014your story\u2014progresses.<\/p>\n

    Every action you take and decision you make has consequences, many of which are not immediately apparent. It\u2019s not just the choices you make when confronted by danger that dramatically impact the story: even simple, seemingly unimportant interactions between characters are significant. There\u2019s a butterfly effect to what you say and do, and you\u2019re never quite sure when you might find yourself between a rock and a hard place facing a real dilemma. Whatever choices you make or paths you don\u2019t take, the story continues on, resulting in a multitude of possible outcomes when things start to spiral out of control.<\/p>\n

    To really bring the whole experience to life, we invested a lot of time and effort into ensuring the game\u2019s presentation\u2014and even the character actors and actresses themselves\u2014is of the utmost quality. The cinematic quality of this teen horror story is driven home by the Hollywood talent portraying the counselors and other key characters in The Quarry<\/em>. It\u2019s been amazing to see actors like David Arquette, Ariel Winter, Brenda Song, Lance Henriksen, and Ted Raimi\u2014to name just a few\u2014really bring our characters to life, not only with their incredible voice work, but also with the physical performances we\u2019re able to put in the game using cutting-edge capture techniques. When combined with traditional filmmaking skills and a director of photography working on each shot, the cast\u2019s performances make for a truly cinematic experience that\u2019s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.<\/p>\n

    We know that experiencing a thrilling horror story can be even more fun with friends, so we\u2019ve developed The Quarry<\/em> with this in mind from day one. You can play with your friends in two unique ways: a local pass-the-controller mode in which each player controls one or more specific counselors, and an online mode (across the same console generation only) where choices are decided by vote. If you think some of the choices you have to make are nigh impossible when you\u2019re playing solo, just wait until you\u2019re confronted with them in multiplayer, where the story is shaped by the whole group.<\/p>\n

    For those of you who would prefer to kick back and watch a binge-worthy horror story unfold, we\u2019ve also included a Movie Mode option. Here you can choose which of multiple versions you want to watch; and there\u2019s even an option to customize the traits of each of the characters, enabling you to press play and see how your movie unfolds! Any character can be the star of the show\u2014or die before daylight comes.<\/p>\n

    The Quarry<\/em> will be available for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles on June 10. All of us at Supermassive Games are excited for you to get your hands on it, and we can\u2019t wait to hear how your stories from summer camp play out! As the Hackett\u2019s Quarry summer camp motto goes: What doesn\u2019t kill you will make you stronger.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
