The next title in the Dark Pictures anthology series is intended to be a spiritual sequel to Dawn. The teen counselors are throwing a party to celebrate their final night together at the summer camp, where players will swap between nine different characters. The counselors have to survive the night after things go bad. The choices made by players will affect who makes it to the credits and who gets a gruesome end.
The vibe is very much in the vein of Friday the 13th, but director Will Byles said that the game's influences include that film. You will be able to see how the game has been influenced by movies like The Thing and Evil Dead.
David Arquette leads the cast of the game, which also includes Justice Smith, My Name is Earl, and Lin Shaye. Byles told Entertainment Weekly that each character can potentially die up to a dozen different ways, which is morbid, but keeps in with the slasher movie theme, for those who watch those movies for the gnarly kills.
In local co-op, another player will control a different counselor, while online allows players to watch and vote on decisions, for those who want a social horror movie viewing experience. The surge of makeshift couch co-op that players implemented with Until Dawn was something Supermassive wanted to include. The game can be played like an interactive movie and the game parts, like quicktime events or controlling characters during gunfights, are turned off or adjusted to the player.
On June 10, The Quarry will be available on PS1, XBOX, and PC.
