The Quarry for Windows

Survive the night at a summer camp

The Quarry is a survival horror game developed by Supermassive Games. This video game will have you go on an adventure inside a summer camp called Hackett's Quarry. Your goal is to survive the night filled with jumpscare and mystery.

Unlike other horror games, The Quarry is for those who don't usually play video games. The action here is simple, and you can even adjust it to suit your needs. Moreover, there is a movie mode that lets you progress with minimum input. However, despite this, the game has 186 endings, so no two sessions will be the same. 

What is The Quarry?

The Quarry is a survival-horror interactive drama game played from a third-person perspective. Here, you control nine different teenagers who have come to a summer camp. Your goal is to have all nine survive the night. To do so, you will make decisions that will change the plot, character development, and the relationship between them. Your choices may even lead to all the characters dying.

As mentioned, the game does not have much action. Moreover, you can adjust the gameplay, so it would only involve one button at a time. You can even pick what you want your characters to do and watch the whole game as if it is a movie. The dialogue choices, too, are a bit inconsequential. You choose between rude and sympathetic responses, which do not have any in-game consequences.

However, despite its relative lack of gameplay, it does not mean that there is no variety here. As noted, there are 186 different endings. With this, no two people's experiences will be the same. You can also play it over and over without getting the same ending as your previous session. There is also a bit of every horror game trope, including hiding, chasing, and a splatter of gruesome jumpscares.

Should you play it?

Overall, The Quarry is a game for fans of horror and spooks. Its gameplay and premise are typical of survival horror games, although made easier to play with its relatively little action. It is not without flaws, as it has limited gameplay and some performance issues. Nevertheless, it is fun, immersive, and comes with tons of replay value with over a hundred different endings.
