Quick Links

Supermassive loves giving players choices. Some are small, like whether to respond to a friend's joke with sarcasm or sincerity. Others are large, like where to hide when being pursued by a monster. No matter how small or large the decision, all of them shape the player's game in The Quarry.

The Quarry asks players to guide the decisions of the nine camp counselors at Hackett's Quarry, and in the roughly 10 hours it takes to tell the game's story, it's more than possible that most or even all the counselors will die. It's easy to make small mistakes and get one's favorite character killed off. Here's everything the player has to know to save Laura.

Imprisoned (Chapter 7)

The Quarry Laura in the police station

After her sedation and abduction by the sheriff during the Prologue, Laura wakes up in a prison cell alongside Max. The player soon gets an opportunity to speak with Travis, receiving a slew of dialog options. Throughout them, Laura must pretend to be nice to Travis. Being compliant, not lashing out, and otherwise playing along with Travis's questions are key.

When Laura has the opportunity to walk around the cell, the player can interact with the bed in the left corner, finding a spoon there. After another conversation with Travis, Laura will be able to explore the police station. Upstairs, amongst Travis's belongings, the player will find a syringe. Heading back down to the cell, Laura can use the spoon to remove a loose brick on the window and make a hiding spot for the syringe.

Go back to sleep. Pretend to be sick, succeed on the Quick-Time Events, and inject Travis with the syringe.

The Homestead (Chapter 9)

Chapter 9 finds Laura and Ryan at the Hackett house. There, Laura comes across Constance Hackett. A struggle between the two starts a QTE. The player must succeed and select "Shoot Gun" and "Don't Pull Knife."

Later, Laura will encounter Jediah Hackett, prompting another series of QTEs to successfully run and hide from him. The player must then select the "Attack" and "Smash" options.

As the chapter nears its conclusion, the player will have the option to kill Chris Hackett. Pick the "Shoot Monster" option, as this action will kill Chris, ridding Ryan and Laura of the curse.

The Final Showdown (Chapter 10)

The Quarry Laura, Ryan, and Travis find Silas in the woods

Chapter 10 includes the group's final confrontation with the wolf, so it's no surprise that there's a lot on the line here.

This section includes three QTEs, and the player must fail the third QTE in order to save Laura's life. If the player succeeds, Travis will die and Laura will survive, bringing an end to a long and terrible night in Hackett's Quarry.

The Quarry is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
