The Quarry is the latest play-along horror film from the creators of Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures Anthology. In it, you follows a group of young people to a mysterious summer camp and, as you might expect, a lot goes wrong there.
Playing time of The Quarry
In The Quarry, you control the destinies of 9 characters, and depending on the choices you make throughout the game, all, few or none survive the murderous night. The playing time also differs accordingly. Basically, you can count on the following playing times until the credits flicker across the screen:
- For an average run, you will need about 10 hours of gameplay.
- Unless you search the areas thoroughly and miss clues, the group’s chance of surviving will decrease and fewer characters may survive. This can reduce the playing time to around 6 hours, as later sections with the deceased characters are then omitted.
- If you want to discover all the optional paths or unlock all of The Quarry’s trophies and achievements, you’ll be busy for a good 30-40 hours. But this is also due to the fact that cutscenes cannot be skipped even with repeated playthroughs.
- The Quarry also offers an optional movie mode. With this, you can consume the game like a movie that will entertain you for about 6 hours.
Co-op and scope
The horror adventure includes a total of 10 chapters plus prologue and epilogue. The length of the chapters varies between 30 and 90 minutes. Along the way, there are also numerous collectibles in the form of clues, tarot cards, and proofs. These will help you to understand the story better and possibly save one of the characters.
In addition to the single-player mode, The Quarry also has a co-op mode, more precisely a multi-player couch co-op. You can assign certain characters to you and other players, which you then take turns controlling. Depending on which character it is, you pass the controller on.
If you don’t feel like playing the actual game and just want to enjoy the story, you can alternatively select the film mode. Here you just set certain modifiers like “All Survive” or “All Die” and then watch the story unfold without your intervention. You can also assign certain traits to characters, which then influence their choices. So the outcome of the story remains surprising for you until the end.
“The Quarry” is out now for Windows PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X!
