Developed by Supermassive Games, The Quarry is a cinematic, choose your own adventure horror game where a bunch of teenagers hang out at summer camp in some creepy woods. That’s definitely a recipe for success, and if that premise sounds very similar to Until Dawn, that’s not really surprising, considering that both games were made by the same developer. If you’re wondering whether The Quarry is a sequel to Until Dawn, here’s what you need to know.
Is The Quarry a Sequel to Until Dawn?
The short answer is, no, The Quarry is not a sequel to Until Dawn. While both games feature very cheesy horror stories and setups, the stories are pretty much completely unrelated. The Quarry could be considered a spiritual successor to Until Dawn, as the game brings back some familiar mechanics, and some of the story beats may feel a bit familiar.
But to sum things up, both games are entirely separate entities from each other, and they can be enjoyed in isolation.
What Year Does The Quarry Take Place?
The story of The Quarry is actually set in 2021, which is pretty unique as the game effectively serves as a modern take on the popular slasher genre that was so prevalent in the 80s and 90s. Apart from Scream, which is still going strong even today, there are very few modern horror movies that have tried to replicate the slasher formula.
The Quarry also notably stars David Arquette, who plays Sheriff Dewey in the town of Woodsboro in the Scream movies, so his role in this game is very apropos.
