The Quarry Director Teases Next Game
Supermassive Games is best known for its branching narrative horror adventure games. The studio first came into prominence with 2015's Until Dawn, which was inspired by the teen slasher genre. The developer then released Until Dawn spiritual successor The Quarry this past summer, which is similarly a cinematic choice-driven narrative, where the player's actions can have long-lasting consequences during their playthrough. These essentially give fans the chance to play an interactive horror movie, with the right choices leading to every character in The Quarry staying alive, and vice-versa.
The Quarry has gotten mostly positively reviews from fans and critics, with some calling it one of the best games from the studio since Until Dawn. While delayed, the game also saw post-launch multiplayer support, where players can join in on a session and vote for what would be the best decision during the game. The director of The Quarry, Will Byles, recently spoke with VGC regarding the studio's next game, teasing what will be included as well.

He notes that with a longer story, more time can be given to the characters where the players can explore the relationships between each one, as opposed to a shorter game like The Dark Pictures.
