Supermassive Games has released several trailersfor the upcoming horror story, which features nine different teenage camp counselors attempting to survive in the titular quarry against an unknown menace.The Quarrywill come with local couch co-op mode and Movie Mode, allowing audiences of up to seven others to provide input into critical character decisions by directly controlling their own counselor character. In contrast, Movie Mode simply allows players to enjoyThe Quarry’s cinematic horror narrative as if watching a movie, but these features are currently restricted to local users only due to the online multiplayer features still being developed.
Both online modes would also be a huge benefit to streamers who may wish to include audience votes in their videos, but these modes will be unavailable until July 8, restrictingThe Quarry’s alternate modes to local co-op only. Director Will Byles mentioned howThe Quarry’s accessiblity featureswere implemented to assist any player(s) making decisions throughout the complex storyline, such as “Death Rewind.” As such, it may be worth horror fans waiting for the full release to enjoy the game with others completely unspoiled.
Continuing the studio’s trend of producing horror games with branching narratives,The Quarryboasts nearly 200 endingsacross the interconnected story paths. Finding all endings will be quite time-consuming for completionists and horror fans, and the delay in online multiplayer modes also means some interested players will need to be wary of spoilers for a whole month if they want to truly appreciate the game.
The Quarryincludes familiar horror actors and actressesmuch likeUntil DawnandDark Pictures, adding to the cinematic status of Supermassive Games titles. Once the online multiplayer issues are rectified then players ofThe Quarrywill be able to enjoy the full game as intended, with more terrifying horror elements still to come.
The Quarrylaunches June 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
