Few games nail that wonderfully cheesy yet completely earnest appeal that many 1980s horror flicks have, but Until Dawn is one of them. Much to the delight of pulp enthusiasts everywhere, Supermassive Games wants to recapture that hokey magic with The Quarry.
The Quarry’s announcement came earlier this week, but the real reveal happened Thursday. It’s a narrative-driven horror game where nine teenagers attempt to survive the night at a summer camp with a gruesome history. Like Until Dawn, anyone can die, and there’ll be lots of branching paths and multiple endings. The best part is you can play the whole game in local or online co-op. One player will take control of a character while everyone else votes on decisions, similar to Until Dawn.
“That was almost like a game/movie experience and we definitely wanted to keep that going,” Will Byles, director on The Quarry, said via IGN. “We weren’t aware quite how social it got with other people sitting down.”
The reveal trailer sets the tone perfectly, so check that out below.
Summer camp is over. Your choices will shape the fates of 9 teenage counselors as they struggle to survive the night. Welcome to Hackett’s Quarry. You won’t believe what you’ll become.
