A summer night at a camp, nine teenagers, and choices you regret by morning.

The gut pick puts The Quarry around mid-table, but that comes from a single duel, so it barely means anything yet. The criterion breakdown speaks louder, and harsher. Controller feel collapses to the very bottom, essentially last. Connection follows, ahead of just 3% of games. Fun and the urge to rediscover don't take off either. What saves the profile is the surface: the art style edges past more than half the field, and the sound sits around average. Blunt summary: you watch The Quarry, you listen to it, you don't really play it. Which is exactly the charge laid against this genre from day one.

Sitting in Supermassive's line of interactive tales, it ticks every playable horror movie box. On criteria that measure hands-on pleasure and lasting attachment, that format starts with a structural handicap.

So, who's it for? For you if you love unapologetic slashers, couch nights where everyone screams at the choices, and the idea of deciding who lives and who dies. Much less so if you want something that actually plays, that sticks with you, and that you'll want to fire up again in two years.
