Supermassive Games announced The Quarry, a spiritual successor to Until Dawn, last week. Speaking to Gamesradar, Game Director Will Byles revealed that the developers have added options to make it more appealing to non-gamers and streamers.
Byles also talked about the portrayal of nine main characters featured in The Quarry.
You can also go into the characters and map out their characteristics: this person’s fairly grumpy, they’re argumentative, and they’re clumsy, they’re this and they’re that. Then you just hit play and see how it plays out. There’s a whole lot of stuff like that, a lot of which leads into where streamers are concerned. We’re going to add some DLC later in the cycle too that will, again, allow streamers to tailor their games for their audiences.
The summer camp slasher adventure game will be available starting June 10th on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam.
With each character, we’ve added two arcs – there’s the very selfish arc and a selfless arc. Neither will win or lose, it’s more: ‘okay, do what you want to do, it’s your call.’ Through this, one weird thing we’ve found is that people can disassociate a little in these moments. They say: ‘yeah, that wasn’t me that did that, that was her’. So, basically, you can set up people’s characters and then allow the player to make moral choices with a degree of impunity. There’s some weird psychological stuff that we’re gradually discovering coming out of these games.
