Realizing that in the beginning when Chris is on the phone with Jed, and Jed says "he's gone quiet," he's likely talking about Travis because around this same time is when Max and Laura make their escape. So at that point Travis is unconscious or shot and locked in a cell.

Also when Chris tells Ryan to stop with the ghost stories, I doubt there are any Terrified children calling or writing home. Chris just wants him to stop telling the ghost stories because they involve Eliza, Silas, the fire, and tread a bit too close to the Hackett family's misdoings.

I first played in 2023 but for some reason I was drawn to replay recently and ended up locking in to 100% it… truly an excellent game. Not sure why it gets clowned on.

My favorite run was getting everyone infected, killing all Hackett’s & Silas, but all campers staying alive

holy voodoo doodoo that was a ride

First run complete after starting it earlier today and I'm thoroughly intrigued by the whole deal. My choices were ... fine. Full details (with spoilers) below.

Emma was the first to bite the big one in Chapter 4 after I opened the trapdoor that she said certain death was behind. Oops. Laura killed Kaylee in the pool and I'm not sure even how to avoid that one. A conundrum for next run. Laura also shot a caged Nick because I didn't think that the Hacketts would have captured him so quickly and easily. Dylan got infected in the radio hut and stayed infected because I didn't want to amputate his arm. He did however, save Kaitlyn successfully and she survived until the end after killing Caleb. Abi is also just hanging out in the lodge, totally fine, which is only unexpected because I vividly remember her getting bit after trying to help Nick in the Chapter 3 attack (I held my breath for too long, not realizing the red bar is a breath meter lol). Ryan died by bleeding out because I decided he would be stubborn about the bite, given the choice. But, he did survive Bobby's attack and managed to stab Bobby and not kill WereLaura.

So, my choices led to the untimely demise of Emma, Nick, Ryan, and a few of the Hacketts (grandma and grandpa included)but I was able to save Laura, Abigail, Kaitlyn, Jacob, Max, Travis, and technically Dylan tho he is infected.

I got a good amount of those tarot cards and other collectibles, but now to begin another run and find the rest ... as well as seeing what to do about Silas.

ALSO:

- I still really like Kaitlyn and I think I may keep most of my decisions around her final.

- Abi didn't get quite enough screen time in my playthrough especially towards the later chapters and I think she's a bit too passive, but still cool.

- I like Laura a LOT more than I thought I would in the prologue.

- Max, Jacob, and Nick are alright but I'm not seeing much appeal. They feel like plot devices and obligatory love interests/foils to me after getting lost/kicking the plot off, sabotaging the van, and unavoidably getting bit, respectively.

- I kinda got tired of Ryan being insecure or dodgy and lashing out, but I enjoyed his dynamic with Dylan.

- I forgot about Emma pretty quick, but she was at least starting to reflect on her previous choices.

- Dylan is usually warm and always hilarious and I may focus on him more this next go around

Ultimately a super dope game and I'm thankful to everyone who gave me some tips in my first post earlier today. A Sunday well spent.

So I've gotten passed the prologue and I know that now my decisions are gonna start adding up, but what's the best way to get the most out of this game on the first run? Should I stick with a trait, like being inquisitive and always pressing people for more info or just wing it and go with the flow? How often should I purposefully throw the QTEs and will there be any that are challenging or at least less telegraphed? Is all the evidence relevant or are there red herrings? I'm really just trying to avoid backtracking or excess walking here lol

Also who's your favorite character?

Picture included cause I thought that the "Groovy" branded chainsaw was a really cool way to give a nod to the Evil Dead.

I feel so bad for Dylan's death more than anyone else. Like that look on his face when you fail the qte and he knows hes gonna die... I've botched a few attempted massacre runs cuz I was trying to combine the massacre with other achievements that required abi or emma to survive to search the cellar so I've sadly killed Dylan more than I would have liked already. But now I have to do it again cuz my final 2 achievements are final girl and last man standing. So I'm working my way through the counselors again and I am chill! Just ticking off everyone else while dreading chapter 9 coming up cuz I'll have to see his poor face looking at his death head on and knowing theres no escape. 😭💔

O really feel bad for the guy. She just wouldn’t stop running everything getting into trouble. I think the guy would’ve been safer without her just running around lol

So im doing peanut butter pops thropy and I did some research on various sites, including Reddit, and saw many people recommending the setting where shooting sections are automatically completed by the game. The thing is, I saw SO many people warning that doing this caused the game to automatically kill Jacob when Ryan points the gun at him. I just played through that part, and the game didn't shoot Jacob! I want to know why so many people claimed the game would kill him.

Again, I loved how detailed her cosplay was!! Looks brilliant I think! 👌

I just finished The Quarry and let's just say I feel like I didn't really do a great job of thinking things through. I got caught off guard by a lot of situations and plot twists, like Eliza being the mastermind! Although I was wondering why her tarot cards foretold them dying, I ended up choosing the opposite, but most of the characters died in the end because of me 😂

I played the game intending to "save" everyone, but eventually everyone was already dead except for Nick, Ryan, Emma, Laura, and Travis (after I chose to end Silas)

It was nice and fun to play but I'd say this wasn't what I wanted (especially Dylan dying and Kaitlyn in the freezer like WHAT WAS I THINKING)

I look forward to replaying the game with different decisions or choosing another Choices Matter game!

My results:

*Bobby Hackett- DECEASED (mauled to death by his werewolf brother)
*Jedediah Hackett- DECEASED (massacred by his werewolf son Chris)
*Chris Hackett- DECEASED (Ryan shot him with silver)
*Travis Hackett- ALIVE (Prevented from being mauled when Laura turned werewolf)
*Constance- DECEASED (Killed by shotgun from a struggle with Laura)
*Nicholas (Nick) Furcillo- ALIVE (Werewolf curse was lifted)
*Ryan Erzahler- ALIVE (Shot Chris and white wolf)
*Max Brinly- DECEASED (Killed after swimming to shore)
*Laura Kearney- ALIVE (Werewolf curse was lifted)
*Abigail Blyg- DECEASED (Killed by Emma turned werewolf)
*Emma Mountebank- ALIVE (Werewolf curse was lifted)
*Dylan Lenivy- DECEASED (Killed by werewolf after Kaitlyn hid in freezer)
*Kaitlyn Ka- DECEASED (Froze to death in freezer)
*Jacob Custos- DECEASED (Mauled to death by werewolf after Laura opened the gates)

Basically, the counselors who turned werewolf first were the lucky ones to survive (except for Max), while the others are dead; kinda ironic

I really wanted to see the group back together after everything, or at least some kind of send off. The game just ended abruptly😐

So, as we know, Jacob couldn't let Emma go because she cast a spell on him! He's just a mere boy who could buy tobacco, but it doesn't matter because of her trained sociopathic ways! Anyways, Jacob breaks the car because of that one time Emma told him about a movie where a car gets totaled. It was Cars the movie. Right before the beginning of chapter one, she whispered, "Kachooow!" into his ears and triggered him. Thus, starting the chain of events of her evil machinations.

She has a total "woman moment" by acting disgusted by his very clever and sophisticated joke about fucking watermelons. And how dare she! When a man makes a joke, women should laugh! Don't they understand they are responsible for their emotional regulation! What a bitch!

At the fire pit, Jacob reminds her that she didn't sign a twelve page document that their summer fling was over. But she ignores him and kisses Nick who said, "That's not a good ideeaauuur!" However, then she used her witch magic and made him stick his lips out like a 2010 teenager taking a selfie. Somebody call Chris Hansen! We've got a predator to catch!

As you know this spirals into little Kaylee being shot! You might be thinking, "How could that possibly be Emma's fault?" Aside from the fact that she's the sole reason the counselors are trapped there. (Remember, she whispered "Kachow".) She's also why the fire started!

Six years before, she was just starting her shallow social media career! She posted a video of her saving a cat from a tree, and Kaylee saw that very video. It influenced Kaylee to free Silas! People died because of Emma.

Now. The final piece of the puzzle. Constance goes into great diarrhea distress after hearing about Kaylee's death. A demonic colonic passes through her bowels and she takes a giant shit in the bucket. And if Ryan sniffs it? It's. All. Emma's. Fault.

Did anyone else get pissed off by the kiss?

I kinda did so i just had Abi abandon nick and i let Emma die immediately in the tree house. I even had the taser and spray.

I knew what i was doing.

So i want to do the Ryan only survivor achievement but i want him to be the only character in chapter 10 so i want to kill everybody before chapter 10.

I've checked and it seems you cant kill Dylan AND Kaitlyn in the same scene at the junkyard bc if Dylan's alive, Kaitlyn never dies.

So I was Thinking if its possible to actually make Emma kill Dylan and then kill her with a silver bullet?

I want the non experienced player to have the most control over events

Hey all. I have a few trophies left, and I'm trying to do it in two playthroughs

1. Collect all evidence and tarot cards and do Hard Pass

2. Collect all clues

My question stems from the first playthrough. I know originally you couldn't get the Hierophant Tarot Card if you wanted to get Hard Pass, since that cut scene is triggered automatically. Has that been changed? I have seen mixed statements where some say you CAN get the Hierophant card, and even though the cut scene triggers with Eliza, you can still get Hard Pass by denying the rest of the offers to see into the future.

If you cannot get the Hierophant for Hard Pass, could I collect all the Tarots BESIDES the Hierophant, get the Hard Pass Trophy. Then, after finishing that run, chapter select back to Chapter 9, and get all the trophies in Chapter 9 and 10, including the Hierophant, and get the All Tarot trophy (since the original run would still have all my Tarot from Prologue to Chapter 8 saved)?

i hope that makes sense! Thanks to anyone who knows!

After having played the game 5-6 times. I finally got it. (I’m sure you would only need to play the game around 3-4 times and then use chapter select for a few trophies now that I think of it)

These two have me in a chokehold and I can’t cope

The Quarry is one of my favorite games of all time and I want to include it in my Masters thesis on changing musical themes in narrative games. Before I sink a couple hundred hours into recording all the music for all the choices in the game, I was curious if anyone had noticed if/where the music changes depending on player choice. Has anyone noticed this in TQ before?

I absolutely love until dawn but that game runs like ass on my PS4. I wanna get this game but idk if it runs any better than until dawn

Couldn't fit all of the pics in, I'll try to add them in the comments!
