Developed by the same company that made Until Dawn, The Quarry had been sitting on my wishlist for a while, promising a gory teen horror set in the middle of the perilous woods where a group of unfortunate teenagers must fight off blood-thirsty monsters to make it out alive to the next morning. Such as in any other choice game, there are branching storylines with a load of small and big decisions to make, some of which lead to surprising and, quite frankly, even absurd scenarios.

Apart from a few awkward out-of-syncs, missing textures and other annoying bugs, The Quarry ran with tolerable smoothness. The narrative is amusing enough to keep you playing, especially with the evidence and clues you collect and piece together during your journey - although the end result was nothing ground-breaking and somewhat predictable. The characters are typical teenagers, but I still found myself drawn to their varying personalities and delectable interactions. The gameplay itself consists of watching cutscenes with a handful of decision-makings and QTEs as well as occasional free-roaming and even shooting. That is to say, The Quarry is anything but challenging, and you’ll be aided by an unknown party who foretells the possible future based on the tarot cards you find on your strolls.

To tell the truth, The Quarry is an average horror experience with a delightfully disturbing concept featuring werewolves rarely seen in the types of games I play, but gameplay- and storywise, it offers nothing new and feels more like an interactive movie. Don’t take me wrong; I still had a good time failing and reproaching myself for killing my favorites, so this is definitely worth buying when the price sinks to a more reasonable level.
