SPOILERS AHEAD

The Quarry is an enjoyable and tense choose your own adventure horror. However, to get straight to the point, there are a few issues with it. Firstly, the Jacob mini game in the cage was flimsily constructed. The basic premise of working out which numbers will produce the desired result of freeing Jacob and not the werewolf next to him is sound, yet its fatal flaw lies in turning the puzzle into a memory game, a memory game for which one has limited prior indication of its occurrence. This flaw is only further aggrandised by the fact that the player character at the time should be able to simply turn his head to examine the symbols behind him, yet we are unable to explore the option of merely checking what these symbols are. It must be stated that the symbols are not what constitutes the puzzle, it is combining the symbols to equal the correct amalgamation that comprises the puzzle.

This leads into issue #2. The player is given the option to leave Jacob behind. This can be done because the player has no other option if the puzzle is not to be solved, or even out of spite if one loathes the character, but there is another, nuanced reason. If Jacob is left in a cage , as long as no one lets him out, or allows the werewolf trapped next to him into his cage, Jacob should theoretically be safe. Especially as we find out that the family who captured him do not want to see him dead. It would be logical, therefore, that the family, in the interests of their own safety and the safety of the camp counsellors, would not be so self destructive as to commit to an act as detrimental as turning the power off, freeing the werewolf trapped downstairs. And, in keeping with their character, they don't. But who does? Why, the player character at the time, Laura does. No matter what. Your choices immediately prior to this act are to execute the old man or run away. neither of which necessitate turning off the power to the house. Yet Laura does this, despite her being the character we were meant to have control over, and despite knowing that Jacob and a werewolf were downstairs, kept safe only by said power being ON.

Finishing off my major gripes with this game, is Max's death. Max is a character who receives one playable section late into the game with only one choice to be made within that section. Stay on the island, or go help the others. Now, one would assume that this is a self evident choice, go help your friends, with a risk of dying due to failed quick time events or future choices, or stay on the island and guarantee Max's safety. However, when one chooses to leave the island, Max is instantly greeted by a werewolf and dies. This is very gimmicky, poor game design. Choose your own adventures should be about choice dubiety, not just binary Yes/No pathways. Reducing your game to such a binary structure, you may as well have made a movie (right options) and bloopers (wrong options). Not that i think the Quarry is guilty of this all the time, or that such binary choices should never be in the game (for instance I believe Abby's quandary over shooting Nick worked as a binary right wrong choice, with the wrong choice leaving her dead) but I do sincerely believe that Max's death is one of those times were more subtlety should have been imbued into the outcomes of your choice.

Ultimately, the Quarry was a nerve wracking experience to play. The horror elements were done well, saliently the transformation of man into werewolf. The blood explosion was perhaps the most iconic aspect of the game and I hope it is appropriated elsewhere. Sadly, this game came out around COVID 19 and thus many complaints one could have may be reducible to limited funds, time and manpower during this crunch period.

Conclusively, I enjoyed the game, recommend it to others to play, and hope that Supermassive Games make yet another hit sometime in the future, this time unrestricted in their capabilities.

Does this look like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Harbinger Motel to you?!!

Some action controls are hard to manage, but overall, it was a nice game. The rewind option will be activated once you finish the game and if you’ve purchased the DLC.

I wouldn’t recommend it to those who want a fast paced game.

It’s like watching a movie, but instead of getting annoyed by the characters' decisions, you’re the one making the decisions that determine the ending.

not recommending it. After playing for 12 hours and nearing the end, I have 0 desire to finish. The characters are poorly written and have no consistency: one person you kinda start to like will become an *ssH*le the next instance and no, this isn't called a round character. the story is cliche and the jumping of point of view from one character to the next constantly makes it even more incoherent and not immersive. Have some odd moments of horror because of the OKay to good graphics, which is about the only saving grace. Only played litte hope so I don't have too many to compare with but this is just not it...

The Quarry is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. The writing is absolute garbage, and the characters are the most insufferable I've ever encountered. It’s like they went out of their way to create the most annoying, unlikable group of degenerates possible. The cast is so unlikable that I actively rooted for their demise. In fact, I found myself failing QTEs on purpose just to speed up the process of wiping them out. Purposefully trying to get them killed only exposed how little your choices actually matter. The game pretends it’s this big "branching narrative," but no matter what you do, these characters only die when it's their turn to die, which turns out to be mostly at the end of the game. So failing intentionally barely changes anything a lot of the time. The story itself is a boring slog filled with overplayed horror clichés and zero tension. It drags on forever, the pacing is atrocious. You're waiting for the plot to even begin after the first three hours because it's just these terribly written interactions between these moronic characters. This isn't even a so bad it's good case it's just that awful. It's a shame because i liked Until Dawn so i'm just thinking how and why this ended up being so bad.
2/10 (Awful)

Until Dawn, but worse.

The Quarry lacks the dumb, campy vibe that made Until Dawn a fun experience despite its stupid writing. Instead the characters and story are stupid without a tone that makes the stupidity fun. Its just one series of dumb decisions after another all building up to a story that's actually really basic and uninteresting when you piece it all together. Meanwhile the moment-to-moment gameplay is awful, largely consisting of slowly walking across large open areas and occasionally doing QTEs and making decisions between a really dumb (but funny) choice and one that anyone with a brain and a basic survival instinct would pick.

It's a very fun game to play ironically, but I don't think ironic enjoyment is something that ought to be factored in while rating. Judged as a serious and non-ironic experience, The Quarry is both bland and bad.

Worst game ever. Its super boring. All characters are boring. The camera angles make me go crazy, 0/10
