Speaking of Scream: David Arquette headlines the game’s cast, which also includes Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu), Ethan Suplee (My Name is Earl), Ariel Winter (Modern Family), Brenda Song (Dollface), Lin Shaye (Insidious), Evan Evagora (Star Trek: Picard), and Ted Raimi (Evil Dead). Byles also gleefully informed Entertainment Weekly that each character can potentially die up to a dozen different ways, which is morbid, but keeps in with the slasher movie theme, for those who watch those movies for the gnarly kills.
For those who want a social horror movie viewing experience, you can play the game with friends: in local co-op, another player will control a different counselor, while online allows players to watch playthroughs and vote on decisions. According to Byers, this feature is something Supermassive wanted to include following the surge of makeshift couch co-op that players implemented with Until Dawn. There’s also a Movie Mode, wherein the game can be played like an interactive movie and the game parts—like quicktime events or controlling characters during gunfights, even the traits of the playable characters—are turned off or tweaked to the player’s liking. “You can turn off everything until it becomes literally a movie…You can go, I wanna get a movie with a happy ending where everyone’s alive or a bad ending or, my favorite, a gore fest where everything gets messy.”
The Quarry will release on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on June 10.
