The Quarry begins on the last night of summer camp, when nine teenage counselors gather for a party at Hackett’s Quarry. Their celebration gives way to a night of horror as they face blood-drenched locals and a more sinister threat. The cinematic adventure follows the counselors through an unfolding story in which danger puts friendships and flirtations under pressure.
Its defining mechanic is choice: decisions shape the story and determine which characters survive. Players can take the role of each counselor, making their actions part of a branching tale rather than simply watching events unfold. The game also offers adjustable difficulty and Movie Mode, which lets players watch a cinematic version of the story and choose how it unfolds.
In online play, invited friends watch and vote on key decisions, while couch co-op assigns each player a counselor to control. These formats make The Quarry’s shared experience less about conventional competitive play and more about deciding together how a horror story develops.
