The Quarry is about nine teenage camp counselors throwing a party at Hackett’s Quarry. However, their night of revelry quickly turns to horror as they’re hunted by the locals (and something even worse, apparently). Much like Supermassive’s Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, players can control each of the counselors and based on their decisions, help them survive or lead them to a gruesome death.

Featuring Hollywood talent like David Arquette (Scream) and Ariel Winter (Modern Family), The Quarry has some 186 endings for players to discover. They can also play with up to seven people online, voting on key decisions in the process. There’s also couch co-op where each player controls a different counselor. Of course, those who want a more passive experience can set different personalities for the counselors and watch the action unfold in Movie Mode.

The Quarry is out on June 10th. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming weeks.

Byles explained how actors got a 1000-page script (a feature film usually has a 100-page script), with a target of 50 pages worth of shooting per day, which was, obviously enough, pretty straining on the actors. The team also used branches to deduce all possible outcomes for the characters, and as a result, the endings are both massive in number and varied in nature.

“We write it like a movie screenplay… actors are used to a 100-page script [on a feature film], the script for this is over 1000 pages. [The actors] can get very alarmed,” Byles said (as transcribed by Eurogamer).

“We have to shoot 50 pages a day, which is unheard of. It’s a mad amount of footage. We worked out 186 different endings for those characters, not just alive or dead… the stories that they have on the way through are massively varied.

“Branches really are a mathematical nightmare. It’s just exponential. We really like the idea of giving you context, so you can have the exact same conversation, but know, that, that person has just killed someone and that context changes, everything.”

The Quarry will be releasing for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Xbox One, and PC on June 10th. To read more on why we think it may end up being one of the biggest games of the year, click through here.
