The news comes by way of an IGN exclusive interview with the game’s director, Will Byles, which you can see for yourself below:
As you can see in the interview above, Byles goes into detail describing the process of bringing the branching narrative of The Quarry to fruition. One factoid that stands out is Byles’ admission that “Actors are used to […] on a feature film a 100 page script. The script for this is over 1,000 pages.” Pretty impressive, no?
Additionally, the team allegedly has to shoot “50 pages a day,” which is “unheard of,” according to the game’s director.
For those unaware, The Quarry is an Until Dawn-esque interactive horror experience that emulates the filmic qualities of the blood-drenched genre. It’ll even star Hollywood horror icons like Scream’s David Arquette and Fantasy Island’s Evan Evagora.
Interestingly, The Quarry is officially not a part of the Dark Pictures Anthology, which the studio has been working on recently, but is instead a brand-new horror IP. That being said, it will bear a lot of similarities to that aforementioned series in how the gameplay plays out.

The Quarry stabs its way to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 10, 2022.
