Developer Supermassive Games rose to prominence with Until Dawn, a narrative horror game back on the PlayStation 4. It evoked nostalgia for ’80s-style horror movies, in which a group of smarmy teens get their comeuppance for being so damn smarmy. Obviously, that means they often got killed in a host of grisly ways, either due to story needs or by your own hand. Since then, the company has experimented with the episodic The Dark Pictures Anthology. However, Supermassive is returning to its roots with The Quarry, a smarmy-teen-killing simulator which will release later in June.

David Arquette (Scream) is in, playing as the owner of Hackett’s Quarry summer camp. Ted Raimi of Evil Dead fame is also involved. The “kids,” camp counselors who are out for one last night of fun, are played by Justice Smith (Jurassic World) , Siobhan Williams (Masters of Doom), Ariel Winter (Modern Family), among others.

Characters in the trailer are sporting Supermassive’s usual hyper-realistic design. Though the facial animations are bit stiff. Hopefully they get more, well, animated by the time The Quarry releases on June 10.

This could be a Texas Chain Saw Massacre situation. However, Supermassive
