The Quarry

I love the premise. I just wish it was a little shorter.

Similar to Until Dawn, Quarry is a playable-movie that branches with multiple endings. And, similar to its predecessor, it has great acting and is enjoyable to watch in its entirety but I'd rate this story as tighter and better. That said, it's still an extremely linear game and one playthough is enough for me.

I hated Until Dawn but tried to go into this with an open mind hoping that Supermassive would have improved over the years, but no, this still got on my nerves instantly, especially the awful dialogue and annoying-as-hell characters (all of them). The prospect of playing an interactive horror movie has so much potential but both of these games would be total dogshit horror movies, and the choices jammed in are so awkward in execution (when they aren't being obviously faked).

Walking simulator + choose your adventure book + QTEs = "interactive movies". Or a movie based on choose your adventure books. Lots of walking and corny dialogue, not enough action or horror elements. The science behind the monsters is unconvincing, thus, breaking immersion. Ryan is the most likeable character.
