Rule No. 1 in horror movies: When you see someone or something standing in the woods menacingly, you leave your groups and go in straight alone. Certified horror classic
The cop feels like the old man with the flamethrower in Until Dawn. It's misdirection, he is made to look like a creepy villain but genuinely every step of the way everything he did was to help them.
This starting couple was better than 90% of horror movie couples. Reasonable, not so argumentative, and worked together. It was obvious they had to go. 😢
@@JC_Cali Agreed, this game has the best characters of them all, but Until Dawn isn't too far behind w/ characters like Samantha & Michael tbh. Ngl, even the annoying characters like Emily are still really well written. Most of the characters from the Dark Pictures Anthology are kinda bland tho (all those games kinda pale in comparison to Until Dawn & The Quarry anyway imo, besides House of Ashes).
can we just, acknowledge the fact that the couple didn't immediately blame each other for the crash? Like, healthy relationship man, those two chose to deal with it together without blame and I know its a game and its probably the stupidest thing to notice but its, really nice to see
My guess is that the cop isn’t evil he’s like the dude fighting wendigos in until dawn. He’s trying to protect people from whatever supernatural monsters are at this camp but he comes across as creepy af
@@kevinsundelin8639 Not how I see it. If he were insecure, he would do one of three things depending on his personality: continue shouting, feeling the need to be heard and have his feelings validated, shut down entirely and become unresponsive, or apologize meekly out of fear of the other person's reaction. He didn't do the first two, and the apology was by no means meek, nor is the girlfriend abusive. No, he's not insecure. He realized it wasn't helping either of them for both of them to be upset, apologized so he could also calm her down, and they both became rational as a result.
"That bird means something" Ravens are symbols of death, but the reason WHY they're symbols of death is because in the wild, they follow wolves around so that whenever the wolves make a kill they feast on the remains. Haven't watched the other two vids Jack released yet so this might've already been mentioned! But if this game is about werewolves then that means the ravens know the humans are going to die.
Ravens were also used as messengers since they could be taught to talk or take messages on their leg. They were popular in the Middle Ages upper class to send messages! I looked into ravens and crows for my final major project!!
that wasn't a raven, it was a crow, and no they aren't the same thing. It still means the same thing though haha Edit- I'm dumb, it was apparently a raven
Yea I’m so weird with things like games, movies, and oddly? celebrity deaths. All 3 of those things fly by in my mind. For example, it feels like I was just playing Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube with my brother like 5 years ago. It released in O2. The Hunger Games trilogy was huuuge for me & I loOoOoved the series. And I remember around that same time, Divergent’s series was also huge and I often got them confused even tho I never watch the latter. Feels like that fan girl-like era for me was also just a couple years ago but low n behold…the 1st movie was 10 years ago. Like, h u h ???? Celeb deaths is a whole other ballpark for me. As well as when “celebrities” (I hate the word/lore behind the word celebrity lol) have kids, same premise. For some reason, those specific situations always feel like they JUST happened or were JUST born and are still babies/toddlers, but A) it’s coming up on some 5, 10 year anniversary since their passing and/or B) the kids they “just” had are whole ass teenagers and not toddlers. Lmao. I know that last one is very specific but it’s crazy how my pea brain works with all those instances. (also I hope this all makes sense and makes sense to OP’s original point lol. Like I said:✨pea brain✨) I think it’s why I have such a hard time letting go and moving on from older games; I still feel like they’re all in their prime and fresh games/movies & that I can still easily access & play them. When, in fact, I’ll probably unfortunately never be able to play all those games I played as a kid like Super Mario Sunshine & Majora’s Mask/Ocarina of Time & Silent Hill or Resi again… which is😅 sadge asfrick. (Even tho Resi 4 is getting it’s remake which is SIIIICK)
I feel the need to point out: "quarry" has two different meanings. One is a place where they extract stone for various use (like construction and crafting). The other, is another term for "prey." So, both the title "The Quarry," and the in game location "Hackett's Quarry," could have double meanings.
Max and Laura are definitely the most healthy out of the relationships in this game, no yelling at each other for stupid things, APOLOGIZING.. listening to each other and comforting each other…
In horror movies/games, whenever a character is trying to warn the other characters not to do something, why don't they just tell them what the fuck is going on? Telling someone not to do something with no explanation, gives them no reason not to do said thing. Fucking communicating properly would save a lot of lives.
In this situation it seems like he didn’t tell them what was going on because they come back every year and didn’t want to deter that from happening . Seemed that way to me lol, but also stupid to think one person could stop 7 other people from doing what they want lmfao especially without supervision
SPOILERS “Listen to me, you can’t stay in Hackett’s Quarry longer than you have to because my family are actually werewolves and when they morb out under the full moon they’ll either eat or infect you all.” Is it that surprising he wouldn’t tell them in this case?
@@DuelaDent52 If you can’t tell them the full truth, say something that’ll keep them indoors. Anything. Say there’s a killer on the loose. Be creative. But what I said still stands true- if you don’t give them a reason to stay inside, it’s not gonna do a damn thing. It might even encourage them to go outside, because when you tell a bunch of young adults not to do something without reason they’re going to test it out. Or, tell them the truth, maybe not that he’s related to them but that there are werewolves, so when they hear wolves and shit in the woods they’re more inclined to stay the fuck indoors. If they don’t believe you, then at least you actually did your part instead of just a little “teehee stay inside kids no matter what.” Who cares if they don’t come back next year as long as they’re still alive? I doubt not scaring them away is the priority here. Just seems to be a theme with games and movies that pisses me off.
maybe seeing blatent stupidity in horror movies is a way of training the average audience for situations that require survival. or, it could just be that the story needs to happen
@@shadowninja1059 I used to do that too when talking to my mother about actors (ex. Rachel=Jennifer Aniston) since my mother isn't very good with English.
In general I feel like in movies when: 1. Characters outright call someone creepy = they end up being wrong 2. One characters says someone's creepy and another dismisses it = they first one is right So in that logic I'm 99% sure the cop is the "good guy".
Yeah, common horror movie. Investigate and then die Like who would even want to go in the woods after a car crash? Its such a bad excuse to go in there.
I feel like half of Mr H's problems could have been resolved if he said there was a dangerous wild animal spotted in the area, and that they've called someone in to resolve the situation that night
Ngl I like these clishés. It's simple to predict, kinda hard to put into practice, 'cause you don't know where EXACTLY you're gonna have to use it and it leaves a ton of space for devs to create either a masterpiece or another "Man of Medan". "The Quarry" is somewhere between those two. At least for me. :)
I think you were supposed to understand that quote philosophically. Since the one who made this quote is a German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzche. Imagine it like this, you've got enslaved, amputated, and you lose all your teeth and got f**ked 24/7, and one day someone saved you from those nightmare. Either you worked yourself to make your own robotic arm, upgraded yourself, find some way to fix your eating problem, or just crying yourself, doing nothing at the corner. Worked yourself does make you stronger, which means the torture that you have during the time is not enough to kill you, you still have the power and ability to move on and change a lot of things. But if you gave up and become useless all your life after that, not only you failed and defeated, but that also mean the bad experience that you have before DID kill you, mentally and physically. Or, you did it a bit of both, which also means the same thing, the experience didn't kill you enough to be useless, but it did damaged you. Honestly, of course, there's space for arguments for this quote. Feel free to share your opinion.
@@brooktheskeleton3973 I am pretty sure it is humanly impossible to come out of a situation like that without needing years of therapy. I understand where you are coming from, although the wording of being useless and it killing you is way harsh. The reality of situations like this is, what doesnt kill you runs up hella therapy bills is wayy more accurate. Trauma especially childhood trauma, any type of abuse, war trauma sticks with you often for life. For some people this might be helpful idk but I think it can sound hella condescending or like toxic positivity ik I'd definately not like to hear this after something horrible happens. Even if the intentions were okay behind the sentence you're still better of rewording it.
@@hannamandula Well, I tried my best. I'm not a philosopher alright. Maybe some of ya's could think better than me. A better way of explaining, I guess. Like I ain't going to the route of "Lots of folks get too soft and comfy" cause I had never live my life as nightmarish as that, nor do I have seen a person ever live better after that. I've seen it in real life, jeez god help her. Don't know her name, but it broke her to the core that she doesn't want to live anymore, and she's still alive. Honestly, now I think about it, what I said is a little too harsh but you got the drill, I guess.
I feel like the phrase "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger" is another hint at werewolves cuz technically if you survive a werewolf attack you get "stronger" since you become one yourself.
Oh yeah. It's 100% werewolves. I don't KNOW, but come on: Silas the Dog Boy, restraint system, a full moon A NIGHT EARLY, the woods-running sequence at the beginning. They could've been a LITTLE more subtle. Or at least taken more time.
@@IANcel Nah why be subtle honestly, they've spent the last 3 games trying to be subtle but it being obvious and mostly not well received anyway. Best thing for them to do is show their hand early but just foreshadow and payoff rather than relying on plot twists which seems to be the case and I'm grateful
I feel so bad for Max. He was a good guy and a good boyfriend. Like when Laura thought she saw someone, he didn’t try to gaslight her into thinking no one was there. He instead tried to calm her down and help see reason within the situation. Let’s do a slow clap for Max.
@@elfreidaharvey7684 thanks for the spoiler warning However you didn’t leave any gap between the warning and the message So I got spoiled anyway Just letting you know what to do in future! 👍
I feel like he's too nice. He didn't need to apologize for being upset with her that she had no confirmation before they arrived. I wouldn't apologize as a woman if my guy did that and then called me a dick for being upset about it lmao. I'd probably curse him out and expect him to apologize. Laura never gets any redeeming qualities from my perspective. Even when she does a couple nice things, it never seems to stick in her personality.
I was gonna comment about that too! Sean at the very start: Guesses the premise of the game exactly right. Sean halfway into the video: Gives a detailed but archetypical plot that has fairly little connection to the actual plot and follows it with "if I just guessed the plot"
The cop staring at her while licking the pencil made me get the creepy crawlers. Humans can be much creepier than any super natural entity if shadowing in the right light.
this game gives hardd uncanny valley since they all are based off their real actors. like seeing brenda song or even max (still have no idea what i recognize him from) is so off-putting
Even in natural lighting it would be creepy af, but it is definitely more creepy in a dark forest, alone, while the cop made her boyfriend stay in the car so she was even more isolated
okay this *definitely* includes werewolves. The full moon focus, the circus show about a Dog Boy, dog collar for Ian that seems to be a person's, the cop being defensive about the couple arriving a day before, which happens to be full moon, and then the bunker being locked with a person inside that it seems like they were trying to pass the full moon. They must also be the car owner. I am so psyched for Jack and his playthrough
What if mr.h is a werewolf and thats why he had to leave really quickly and was so antsy about getting everyone out before the sun went down? I couldnt tell if his car was the same as the one that max and laura saw.
It seems likely, but what bothers me is: they mention they've already spent two months at the camp and since you get a full moon every month, they must've already had at least one full moon during their stay there.
i love that it's called the "harbinger motel" when a "harbinger" is someone who preaches an omen of doom, like the creepy old cop who tells you to stay away from the quarry
"Harbinger" is also the title given to 'leader' of the Companions in Skyrim, a lot of which are werewolves. And this game has a lot to do with werewolves.
That cop isn’t giving me bad vibes. I think they’re trying to make him look creepy on purpose so that we don’t trust him but he seemed to genuinely want the best for that couple. He helped them with the car, directed them to the motel, and urged them not to stop at the campsite. Kind of like the flamethrower guy in Until Dawn.
“You don’t need to lick a pencil.” You don’t need to make eye contact with the teenage girl you mildly threatened out of the vehicle as you lick the pencil either.
@@V-XENO Well maybe he isn't from the same country as you? He can also have dyslexia so take it easy bro. It's not annoying when people use grammar wrong if you still get what they mean
Wild Guess: The creature targets mostly or only men, it went straight to Max even with Laura being way more into the basement and the cop didn't want to Max to get out of the car. The cop was out in the wilds, but they mentioned how he "needed a shower", maybe he covers himself in something to not get noticed.
Well Jack and the couple at the start do mention the cop having visible blood on his neck. He's most likely wearing the same substance as the hunters just underneath his clothes to make it less visible and still have the effect of warding off the creature. I do think the Cop and the hunters maybe Red Herrings similar to the hunter in until dawn. Where we as the player may suspect them but in reality they're hunting what's actually hunting you. Also you're theory is interesting considering the Ghost Story is about a hag who wants to turn people into her son. It would make sense that she targets the males first. So the question is, are they using Laura's blood because she's technically alive she just got sedated. Or are they using a mysterious substance they emits an odor that the creature dislikes.
Alr, alr, if the game is about werewolves of some kind, then I don't think the hunters are the werewolves. Because if they were werewolves, then they wouldn't need to cover themselves in this... blood? Liquid? Anywho, I think it's the son of the woman who died in the fire that's the werewolf (if that's the monster we're looking for) and that at least one of the kids will turn into a werwolf as well in a story branch.
Sean: *reads the sign that says “Silas the Dog* *_Thirty seconds later when the creepy ghost later walks past calling Silas_* Sean: “Who the fucks Silas and why are you looking for him?”
I'm barely 30 minutes in, but I already find these characters way more likeable than the ones in the previous games. It makes me wanna root more for them to survive
Well Brenda Song is a real person who is quite liked IRL. Im rooting for her even tho she was a hugeeeee asshole as Laura when "helping" to fix the car
Laura and Max are the best couple I've seen in media pretty much ever. They are so supportive of each other and understanding. It actually feels like watching a real, healthy relationship to the point where it doesn't even really feel scripted.
I have a severe phobia of things near my eyes to the point that I have going to eye doctor because of the test where they blast your pupils with air with a machine about a half inch from your eye. I developed it when I was younger after watching a scary movie that had a woman get needles inserted into her pupils so no it's not just you XD
I think the phrase “ What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” refers to when a werewolf bites you but doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger ( makes you a werewolf from infection)
@@ivorynk752 I don't think so cus they would make her eyes white-ish as they always do. But maybe she is supposed to not look anywhere specific, might be part of her character?
@@Voc_spooksauce I know that not everyone who is blind has milky eyes, as there are multiple causes for blindness, such as scarring of the cornea, cataracts, retinal degeneration, or malformation, or an issue with an optic nerve, but as it is a video game with planned character designs giving her clouded eyes for the purpose of storytelling it would be an obvious visual shorthand to convey a character's trait.
Can I just say they really nailed Gen Z fashion in this game? These outfits are so fitting for teenagers, I have seen these exact outfits walking down the street and in school
"You hate horror? You'll be the first to die." Him but realizing Jacob is literally the first one that can die in the game. And him saying it's pot-brownies with the slow-mo decision-making was hilarious!
Jack is taking it a bit too literally out of game. He was saying that there are many things that you can survive but will leave you weaker physically. That's kinda missing the point of the saying, as it's more referring to people going through hardship and coming out as stronger people mentally. For example, many people who become handicapped take what happened to them as a wake up call and become more active than before, no longer taking their existence for granted. In game, however, it definitely comes across as an on the nose hint that people are gonna get hurt and change for the "better."
for the record- max is perfect boyfriend material. he listens to laura when shes upset/ uncomfortable, he trusts her advice, he apologizes when he was wrong/ angry, and hes loyal. 10/10 even when he does get a bit fed up at the house he still apologizes, and frankly i think its warrented- concidering the current situation and.... well what happens to him
Today's fact: Butterflies and Moths can drink blood and tears in order to get nutrients. It’s called Mud-puddling. I think more horror movies should use this.
But it's the principle of the thing. On days when I have to be up before 5am I am simply to tired to experience faces so I figure out the shirts the people are wearing based on my eye level (basically their shoulders)
My hearing is trash from work so I have to watch people's lips now. I can't lip read but I can get a general idea of what's being said based on what little I do hear and what their lips do..... .. ... Something something [What them lips do?] Joke.....
[SPOILER WARNING] I swear, I have NEVER seen anyone guess what happens in any video game so much as this man in this video 1. He guessed the werewolves 2. He guessed the skinny dipping scene 3. He guessed the cop's family 4. He (kind of) guessed that Dylan would chop his hand off 5. He guessed the campfire and scary stories 6. He guessed the stuffed bear would come in handy for a distraction 7. He guessed the crows mean something 8. He guessed the silver bullets 9. He guessed the blood "disguises" you
He does play a fair amount of scary games which has a lot of overlapping tropes. Him guessing what happens really just solidified how common these type of interactions are.
can we talk about how well written the dialogue is? it’s not over the top or awkward, it feels so natural and then the incredible voice acting on top of that, i'm blown away already- after until dawn my expectations are really high and so far it hasn’t disappointed me the slightest-
To be fair, as Sean pointed out, it is a bit eye rolling and painfully cheesy at times, but, gotta give credit where it's due, besides a few hiccups, the dialogue is well written
It does feel super real, except imo one specific word... When he calls the gps the "normal" map. You can tell a boomer wrote that line. Fucking EVERYBODY knows what a map is. I have NEVER heard someone call a gps map "normal" compared to a paper map. People may not use paper maps for driving and hiking much anymore (for good reason, since gps tracks your position so you always know where you are and your facing relative to the map, something that is FREQUENTLY a problem with paper map navigation), but we still interact with them at airports and bus stations and in videogames and various media. That REALLY took me out of it, but besides that one line, the dialogue is top notch!
I also think the the "What doesnt kill you makes you stronger." hints towards werewolves. In most werewolf lore it takes a scratch or bite to transfer the curse, so if you survive an attack it makes you stronger because you turn. Additionally, that might be why the cop shot Max after he was attacked. To keep him from turning. Just my thoughts.
The whole "Silas the Wolf-Boy" thing makes me think that he's an _actual wolf boy_ and thus, Jack is right: it's 100% werewolves. Especially with the huge focus on the full moon in the intro. Very much reminds me of the _Ginger Snaps_ movies and all of the (slightly cheesy and almost B-Horror at times) full moon shots that are all over _Teen Wolf._
The university that rejected Max's application is called "Landis University", which is a clear nod to John Landis, the director of 'An American Werewolf in London'. So yeah, they're Werewolves in this game.
I like the play on words: "quarry" as in a place where rocks are mined (like the camp's location) and as in an animal pursued by a hunter or other predators. 🤓
Every time Jack says something along the lines of: "What kind of psychopath would choose (option)?" My mind goes directly to Callmekevin's play though and I love it lol
"We're not running into a branch, and getting our face smacked. That would be absolutely embarrassing and pathetic." At least we all know Kevin does bad things on purpose, always.
Unrelated but can we talk about how supportive this boyfriend is? Like yeah he gets cross about the map but otherwise he doesn't discredit his girlfriend and does his best to cater to her needs when she's stressed out. nice.
I like that the boyfriend actually did let the girl go look in the woods without following her. Saying "don't go too far" shows concern for her safety, but letting her go without following her shows confidence in her, AND he didn't doubt that she was hearing a person
@@tennisthelegend I was going to say that not everyone has accents readily available on their keyboard (or a numpad), but then I saw your badge. Carry on, officer.
I really like that they have the option to watch the plot unfold without having to play it. Makes it accessible to people who can't play games or are bad at them
I just realized another meaning for the quote *"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"* If the Werewolf doesn't kill you, his bite just makes you stronger (literally).
I love how Sean just randomly blurts out things whenever he hears "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger", cuz he doesn't say anything while characters are talking and then just yells "But what if my nose got chopped off"
the vibes of Jack talking about the "cards I'm meant to be getting" and then immediately missing one in front of him in the cutscene is immaculate (I mean it's also peak ADHD and bad game mechanic explanation but still) (ik he found it later but the timing was too perfect)
@@frederikpedersen1820 a harbinger is just something or someone that announces/warns something to come, be it positive or negative-- its a strong horror movie trope, like if a family moves to a house a neighbor will be outside mowing their lawn and outta nowhere and be like "a century ago a whole family died in that house in a terrible fire", they'd be the harbinger. i don't think its specific to werewolves, it's just a plot device. which is pretty satirical/meta thing to do, kudos to the developers. what's also interesting is a harbinger could also mean someone who is sent ahead to arrange lodging, and seeing as it's a hotel, probably owned by werewolves... it's even funnier.
I hate that the writers took this route. Why not just have the damn van break down for real and find another way (that would be available in ALL potential playthroughs) for someone to discover the clue in the lake?
@@kathrynhoward4196 I actually like the idea that it all happened because a single teenager wanted an extra night with the girl he liked, and made this decision without knowing the outcome would be fatal, He will forever have to live with the guilt, also, if Jacob dies during the playthrough, most times he screams "I'm sorry!". I get your point tho, thats just my opinion.
okay Jacob irks me to no end as well but he is in no way responsible for this mess, the Hackett family is responsible for 100% of this. for all Jacob knew, this camp was super safe, so safe it was a children's camp and they all spent 2 months in it with no issues. yes he is an absolute dickhead for trapping his friends and is exremely selfish for it, but he's not responsible for the werewolf stuff

When she broke the lock it wouldn't necessarily be braking and entering, depending on what state the good Samaritan Law could protect them as long as they don't steal anything and are willing to replace the lock. Under the pretense you where trying to rescue someone that seemed to be kidnapped.
So even if you break a lock to literally save someone's life, you are still expected to replace the lock. Damn, imagine homeless people just opting out of helping someone because they can't afford it.
@@Whitedudeabove Yea, It is a worse case scenario that they charge destruction of private property. But could be less or more depending if your wrong or don't save the individual or the person saved refuses to report that the person the broke the lock saved them. Unfortunately law don't protect those that deserve to be protected in a lot of situations.
@@Whitedudeabove well if they didn’t charge for the destruction of property that leaves a loophole you can’t just go around breaking things cause you thought you were saving someone
Silas the "Dog-boy"... Next to it is a giant cage... I'm starting to really put the werewolf idea into perspective. What if the thing that attacked Max IS Silas. And the cop maybe keeps people as pets to "play with Silas". I'd have to see the rest of the game.
Theory: Officer Raimi as well as Mr H. are part of some group that either manages or somehow "handles" the monsters in this game (presumably werewolves of some sort). The guys covered in blood are locals who hunt said monsters. If the monsters really are lycanthropes, that means they appear human for at least part of the time, and the bloody locals might just hunt the _kids,_ believing _them_ to be lycanthropes. Also, the summer camp might be a means of luring the werewolves/monsters into the area (the camp ends before they'd be able to arrive, presumably), then once the kids are gone, the cops/locals/etc. hunt the monsters who were lured to the camp. Thus, the cops/locals thin the heard, then the pattern repeats every year.
Bruv i think that they are the monsters Remember that there was an underground cabin it could be where they turn into some king of monster or wolf and they chain yhemeselves up but they are too strong that they break them chains and are just stuck in the basement.
@@shaninejackman9395 Had me on a whole “tangent.” The spoiler bit was referring to the second half of my reply. Since it’s telling them they are wrong.
Any sort of monster that appears like a normal human at certain times is always perfect for situations of groups of people. This gang of friends could start all doubting one another and ultimately going so far as to attack each other. I think it would be really great to have such a monster, as the dialogue is so great, so we could get some fantastic interactions. Also werewolves are just so campy, that they suit camp settings!
nahhh, that cop was so freaking weird, I'm not surprised they didn't trust him. a possibly corrupt, serial killer cop is more believable a threat than a mythical beast in the woods

If he were insecure, he would do one of three things depending on his personality: continue shouting, feeling the need to be heard and have his feelings validated, shut down entirely and become unresponsive, or apologize meekly out of fear of the other person's reaction. He didn't do the first two, and the apology was by no means meek, nor is the girlfriend abusive. No, he's not insecure. He realized it wasn't helping either of them for both of them to be upset, apologized so he could also calm her down, and they both became rational as a result.

"That bird means something"
Ravens are symbols of death, but the reason WHY they're symbols of death is because in the wild, they follow wolves around so that whenever the wolves make a kill they feast on the remains. Haven't watched the other two vids Jack released yet so this might've already been mentioned! But if this game is about werewolves then that means the ravens know the humans are going to die.
that good foreshadowing
that's really cool! I mean, gruesome and morbid, but _cool_
weird urge to get bitten by a werewolf so i can have a pet raven and super senes lmao
Ravens were also used as messengers since they could be taught to talk or take messages on their leg. They were popular in the Middle Ages upper class to send messages! I looked into ravens and crows for my final major project!!
that wasn't a raven, it was a crow, and no they aren't the same thing. It still means the same thing though haha
Edit- I'm dumb, it was apparently a raven
Fun fact: because of their intelligence, they would follow armies, knowing that in the aftermath of a battle they'd have plenty to eat.
I've never felt older than Jack calling Until Dawn a game from "back in the day". it really put the last few years in perspective as weird as it is
Right?? I remember binge watching so many videos of people playing it. It's weird how time flies by
To be fair, the game came out 6 years ago
@@karltee7862 oh man that didn't help
@@MiniMe_Channel face it we’re all dying by the second :3
Yea I’m so weird with things like games, movies, and oddly? celebrity deaths. All 3 of those things fly by in my mind.
For example, it feels like I was just playing Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube with my brother like 5 years ago. It released in O2. The Hunger Games trilogy was huuuge for me & I loOoOoved the series. And I remember around that same time, Divergent’s series was also huge and I often got them confused even tho I never watch the latter. Feels like that fan girl-like era for me was also just a couple years ago but low n behold…the 1st movie was 10 years ago. Like, h u h ????
Celeb deaths is a whole other ballpark for me. As well as when “celebrities” (I hate the word/lore behind the word celebrity lol) have kids, same premise. For some reason, those specific situations always feel like they JUST happened or were JUST born and are still babies/toddlers, but A) it’s coming up on some 5, 10 year anniversary since their passing and/or B) the kids they “just” had are whole ass teenagers and not toddlers. Lmao. I know that last one is very specific but it’s crazy how my pea brain works with all those instances. (also I hope this all makes sense and makes sense to OP’s original point lol. Like I said:✨pea brain✨)
I think it’s why I have such a hard time letting go and moving on from older games; I still feel like they’re all in their prime and fresh games/movies & that I can still easily access & play them. When, in fact, I’ll probably unfortunately never be able to play all those games I played as a kid like Super Mario Sunshine & Majora’s Mask/Ocarina of Time & Silent Hill or Resi again… which is😅 sadge asfrick. (Even tho Resi 4 is getting it’s remake which is SIIIICK)
I feel the need to point out: "quarry" has two different meanings. One is a place where they extract stone for various use (like construction and crafting). The other, is another term for "prey." So, both the title "The Quarry," and the in game location "Hackett's Quarry," could have double meanings.
I love shit like that
I think so as well.
Unless they are being hunted... IN a quarry. In which case, both apply equally.
yup, also the game was free like a couple days ago. but im just to lazy to download it

@@snovaspectre2 4:08
In horror movies/games, whenever a character is trying to warn the other characters not to do something, why don't they just tell them what the fuck is going on? Telling someone not to do something with no explanation, gives them no reason not to do said thing. Fucking communicating properly would save a lot of lives.
In this situation it seems like he didn’t tell them what was going on because they come back every year and didn’t want to deter that from happening . Seemed that way to me lol, but also stupid to think one person could stop 7 other people from doing what they want lmfao especially without supervision
SPOILERS
“Listen to me, you can’t stay in Hackett’s Quarry longer than you have to because my family are actually werewolves and when they morb out under the full moon they’ll either eat or infect you all.”
Is it that surprising he wouldn’t tell them in this case?
@@DuelaDent52 If you can’t tell them the full truth, say something that’ll keep them indoors. Anything. Say there’s a killer on the loose. Be creative. But what I said still stands true- if you don’t give them a reason to stay inside, it’s not gonna do a damn thing. It might even encourage them to go outside, because when you tell a bunch of young adults not to do something without reason they’re going to test it out.
Or, tell them the truth, maybe not that he’s related to them but that there are werewolves, so when they hear wolves and shit in the woods they’re more inclined to stay the fuck indoors. If they don’t believe you, then at least you actually did your part instead of just a little “teehee stay inside kids no matter what.” Who cares if they don’t come back next year as long as they’re still alive? I doubt not scaring them away is the priority here.
Just seems to be a theme with games and movies that pisses me off.
maybe seeing blatent stupidity in horror movies is a way of training the average audience for situations that require survival.
or, it could just be that the story needs to happen
Because then there wouldn't be a horror movie/game.
As someone who doesn't know actors,I'm glad Sean explains it.
Me too! I’m really bad with recognizing actors or I just have no clue who they are X)
@@Irikoanimates same I just end up naming them based on the characters they voice like with Steve Blum I call him wolverine

omg yeah, people talk about actors using only their names and I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT
"What doesn't kill you will make you stronger." Dude. The werewolves. If they don't kill you, you turn and become stronger.
OOOOOH
That or you don't get bit and know how to kill them, also making you stronger, also well done for making that connection, smart.
While it makes sense in-game and is kind of relevant, I absolutely hate that saying in general.
I was yelling that at the screen😂
Like OFC YOU BECOME STEONGER! SUPERPOWERS. DUH😂
In general I feel like in movies when:
1. Characters outright call someone creepy = they end up being wrong
2. One characters says someone's creepy and another dismisses it = they first one is right
So in that logic I'm 99% sure the cop is the "good guy".
Yeah, common horror movie.
Investigate and then die
Like who would even want to go in the woods after a car crash? Its such a bad excuse to go in there.
And also, sometimes the most seemingly good/helpful characters end up being the most evil.

Jack predicting lesbians, werewolves, skinny dipping, and hand amputation has me thinking he really did write this game...
And EVERY other horror game/movie ever made...lol
And using the Izzy doll used as a distraction
Tbf, these are some pretty common tropes. Doesn't make the game bad, just a tad predictable.
Ngl I like these clishés. It's simple to predict, kinda hard to put into practice, 'cause you don't know where EXACTLY you're gonna have to use it and it leaves a ton of space for devs to create either a masterpiece or another "Man of Medan". "The Quarry" is somewhere between those two. At least for me. :)
Seeing as how the 3 lives thing you can’t get until you’ve already beaten it once, I’m guessing he already played it and beat it.
"What doesn't kill you, makes you mentally ill" - is a more realistic motto
Stubbed my toe and now i have moderate schizophrenia
I think you were supposed to understand that quote philosophically. Since the one who made this quote is a German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzche. Imagine it like this, you've got enslaved, amputated, and you lose all your teeth and got f**ked 24/7, and one day someone saved you from those nightmare. Either you worked yourself to make your own robotic arm, upgraded yourself, find some way to fix your eating problem, or just crying yourself, doing nothing at the corner. Worked yourself does make you stronger, which means the torture that you have during the time is not enough to kill you, you still have the power and ability to move on and change a lot of things. But if you gave up and become useless all your life after that, not only you failed and defeated, but that also mean the bad experience that you have before DID kill you, mentally and physically. Or, you did it a bit of both, which also means the same thing, the experience didn't kill you enough to be useless, but it did damaged you. Honestly, of course, there's space for arguments for this quote. Feel free to share your opinion.
@@brooktheskeleton3973 I am pretty sure it is humanly impossible to come out of a situation like that without needing years of therapy. I understand where you are coming from, although the wording of being useless and it killing you is way harsh. The reality of situations like this is, what doesnt kill you runs up hella therapy bills is wayy more accurate. Trauma especially childhood trauma, any type of abuse, war trauma sticks with you often for life. For some people this might be helpful idk but I think it can sound hella condescending or like toxic positivity ik I'd definately not like to hear this after something horrible happens. Even if the intentions were okay behind the sentence you're still better of rewording it.
@@hannamandula Well, I tried my best. I'm not a philosopher alright. Maybe some of ya's could think better than me. A better way of explaining, I guess. Like I ain't going to the route of "Lots of folks get too soft and comfy" cause I had never live my life as nightmarish as that, nor do I have seen a person ever live better after that. I've seen it in real life, jeez god help her. Don't know her name, but it broke her to the core that she doesn't want to live anymore, and she's still alive. Honestly, now I think about it, what I said is a little too harsh but you got the drill, I guess.
@@brooktheskeleton3973 Yeah I wasn't trying to bash you or anything I'm not a philosohper either so I just wanted to explain how I saw it:))
I feel like the phrase "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger" is another hint at werewolves cuz technically if you survive a werewolf attack you get "stronger" since you become one yourself.
Interesting
Oh yeah. It's 100% werewolves. I don't KNOW, but come on: Silas the Dog Boy, restraint system, a full moon A NIGHT EARLY, the woods-running sequence at the beginning. They could've been a LITTLE more subtle. Or at least taken more time.
That is so true
I thought it was referencing the banger Kelly clarkson song
@@IANcel Nah why be subtle honestly, they've spent the last 3 games trying to be subtle but it being obvious and mostly not well received anyway. Best thing for them to do is show their hand early but just foreshadow and payoff rather than relying on plot twists which seems to be the case and I'm grateful
“Why is everyone in this game in great shape?!” Jack they are camp counselors at the end of 2 months of summer camp.

They must also be the car owner. I am so psyched for Jack and his playthrough

"Harbinger" is also the title given to 'leader' of the Companions in Skyrim, a lot of which are werewolves. And this game has a lot to do with werewolves.
That cop isn’t giving me bad vibes. I think they’re trying to make him look creepy on purpose so that we don’t trust him but he seemed to genuinely want the best for that couple. He helped them with the car, directed them to the motel, and urged them not to stop at the campsite. Kind of like the flamethrower guy in Until Dawn.
Not to mention, he's a small town cop. They don't trust anyone they don't know, so naturally come off with a creepy vibe

Wild Guess: The creature targets mostly or only men, it went straight to Max even with Laura being way more into the basement and the cop didn't want to Max to get out of the car. The cop was out in the wilds, but they mentioned how he "needed a shower", maybe he covers himself in something to not get noticed.
Oooooooh this is a compelling theory! Especially considering the two “hunters” at the end! I wonder if it’s like, women’s blood or something
Considering the whole "she tries to make people into her son" part of the ghost story, yeah seems likely that it would target men more.
Well Jack and the couple at the start do mention the cop having visible blood on his neck. He's most likely wearing the same substance as the hunters just underneath his clothes to make it less visible and still have the effect of warding off the creature. I do think the Cop and the hunters maybe Red Herrings similar to the hunter in until dawn. Where we as the player may suspect them but in reality they're hunting what's actually hunting you. Also you're theory is interesting considering the Ghost Story is about a hag who wants to turn people into her son. It would make sense that she targets the males first. So the question is, are they using Laura's blood because she's technically alive she just got sedated. Or are they using a mysterious substance they emits an odor that the creature dislikes.
I also think that little vile Abi found in the tree was the weird blood cause apparently it smelled really bad
Alr, alr, if the game is about werewolves of some kind, then I don't think the hunters are the werewolves. Because if they were werewolves, then they wouldn't need to cover themselves in this... blood? Liquid? Anywho, I think it's the son of the woman who died in the fire that's the werewolf (if that's the monster we're looking for) and that at least one of the kids will turn into a werwolf as well in a story branch.

Jack is based. People, don't snoop on your SOs... if it needs to out it will out.
@@JustAJinx-ci6hg what does based mean lol
@@JustAJinx-ci6hg his real name is Sean not Jack (just pointing that out)
@@mpx_playay so pedantic. Im sure the person knows too. Sometimes i refer to Sean as Jack too. Doesn't matter all that much
The fact that Jack is SO FIXATED on the "What doesn't kill you" quote is ENDLESSLY hilarious to me lmfao-
I mean, I always thought the same thing but no one ever talked about it so I thought I was the only one. I'm glad that I'm not alone lmao
I know LMAO he kept coming back to it
“But what if your nose got cut off?”
Jack is taking it a bit too literally out of game. He was saying that there are many things that you can survive but will leave you weaker physically. That's kinda missing the point of the saying, as it's more referring to people going through hardship and coming out as stronger people mentally. For example, many people who become handicapped take what happened to them as a wake up call and become more active than before, no longer taking their existence for granted.
In game, however, it definitely comes across as an on the nose hint that people are gonna get hurt and change for the "better."
for the record- max is perfect boyfriend material. he listens to laura when shes upset/ uncomfortable, he trusts her advice, he apologizes when he was wrong/ angry, and hes loyal. 10/10
even when he does get a bit fed up at the house he still apologizes, and frankly i think its warrented- concidering the current situation and.... well what happens to him
Today's fact: Butterflies and Moths can drink blood and tears in order to get nutrients. It’s called Mud-puddling. I think more horror movies should use this.
That’s concerning 💀
Nice
Cool
I am one of the first 🦘🦘🤣🇦🇺
Moths are cute
Jack: Why is she looking at her shoulder?
Us short people don't like to crane our necks okay?
he has ADHD so don't bully him unless YOU want to be bullied.
Unless you're 2 feet shorter i'm sure you can just move your eyes up😂
But it's the principle of the thing. On days when I have to be up before 5am I am simply to tired to experience faces so I figure out the shirts the people are wearing based on my eye level (basically their shoulders)
@@downtherabbithole8325 same, but also cuz i hate eye contact lmao
My hearing is trash from work so I have to watch people's lips now. I can't lip read but I can get a general idea of what's being said based on what little I do hear and what their lips do.....
..
...
Something something [What them lips do?] Joke.....
“Whatever happens, happens”
Jack: *restarts until dawn so Ashley didn’t die*
Well you see....
Jack had a crush on Ashley, that's different
The dialogue seems so great, idk why it's so derpy in man of medan and the devil within and all that
Better actors I don't even know the ones in those games with good reason I'm guessing.
[SPOILER WARNING]
I swear, I have NEVER seen anyone guess what happens in any video game so much as this man in this video
1. He guessed the werewolves
2. He guessed the skinny dipping scene
3. He guessed the cop's family
4. He (kind of) guessed that Dylan would chop his hand off
5. He guessed the campfire and scary stories
6. He guessed the stuffed bear would come in handy for a distraction
7. He guessed the crows mean something
8. He guessed the silver bullets
9. He guessed the blood "disguises" you
like holy shit.
What does the bird mean?
@@ameerdahbour8794 it means there are cards nearby
DAMNNNNN HE'S GOOD!
He does play a fair amount of scary games which has a lot of overlapping tropes. Him guessing what happens really just solidified how common these type of interactions are.
can we talk about how well written the dialogue is? it’s not over the top or awkward, it feels so natural and then the incredible voice acting on top of that, i'm blown away already- after until dawn my expectations are really high and so far it hasn’t disappointed me the slightest-
To be fair, as Sean pointed out, it is a bit eye rolling and painfully cheesy at times, but, gotta give credit where it's due, besides a few hiccups, the dialogue is well written
@@gojirabh9383 It feels like it has a bit of a 'Stranger Things' vibe. Which would mean the dialogue is intentionally campy.
It does feel super real, except imo one specific word... When he calls the gps the "normal" map. You can tell a boomer wrote that line. Fucking EVERYBODY knows what a map is. I have NEVER heard someone call a gps map "normal" compared to a paper map. People may not use paper maps for driving and hiking much anymore (for good reason, since gps tracks your position so you always know where you are and your facing relative to the map, something that is FREQUENTLY a problem with paper map navigation), but we still interact with them at airports and bus stations and in videogames and various media. That REALLY took me out of it, but besides that one line, the dialogue is top notch!
@@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice it was obviously ironic.
Is this sarcasm?
I also think the the "What doesnt kill you makes you stronger." hints towards werewolves. In most werewolf lore it takes a scratch or bite to transfer the curse, so if you survive an attack it makes you stronger because you turn. Additionally, that might be why the cop shot Max after he was attacked. To keep him from turning. Just my thoughts.
Super interesting to know! Thanks for sharing this :D
adhd and pattern recognition really lets you predict everything in the game
Or having played/watched anything in the horror genre tbf
Girl: "Silas....the.....dog boy?......."
Sean 20 seconds later: "Who's Silas and why are you looking for him?"
The whole "Silas the Wolf-Boy" thing makes me think that he's an _actual wolf boy_ and thus, Jack is right: it's 100% werewolves. Especially with the huge focus on the full moon in the intro. Very much reminds me of the _Ginger Snaps_ movies and all of the (slightly cheesy and almost B-Horror at times) full moon shots that are all over _Teen Wolf._
dude, Ginger Snaps was great back in the day. I feel like too few people watched that movie.
The university that rejected Max's application is called "Landis University", which is a clear nod to John Landis, the director of 'An American Werewolf in London'.
So yeah, they're Werewolves in this game.
Sean out of nowhere: "LIKE WHAT IF I GOT MY NOSE CHOPPED OFF!?!"
He's really not letting this idea go is he?
No, no not at all. I feel like this will be a series long thing 😂
actually burst out laughing when he said this
max and laura make me so genuinely happy bc there’s sm love between them, and sm care and communication, they’re so genuinely healthy
I like the play on words: "quarry" as in a place where rocks are mined (like the camp's location) and as in an animal pursued by a hunter or other predators. 🤓
🤓 chain
Huh nice touch, never think of it as the second one
@@LUFKK0L no
Love it!
Every time Jack says something along the lines of: "What kind of psychopath would choose (option)?" My mind goes directly to Callmekevin's play though and I love it lol
especially when jack said "who plays the game the first time and leaves Max"
Literally like Kevin immediately going to the door
"We're not running into a branch, and getting our face smacked. That would be absolutely embarrassing and pathetic."
At least we all know Kevin does bad things on purpose, always.
That’s what I was thinking. Kevin just wants them dead, it’s so funny tho
Oh man, knowing Kevin, I can only imagine, haha
Unrelated but can we talk about how supportive this boyfriend is? Like yeah he gets cross about the map but otherwise he doesn't discredit his girlfriend and does his best to cater to her needs when she's stressed out. nice.
I love the deviation from the typical douchebag boyfriend usually done in horror medie
And she ends up getting him killed because she doesn't want to listen smh
@@LilJay03 he not dead tho
@@LilJay03 Max didn't die wdym? Laura literally never left his side this entire game
@@Nick-dx2pt when she was attempting to save him from the bunker he got pulled back in, that’s where he thought max died
I like that the boyfriend actually did let the girl go look in the woods without following her. Saying "don't go too far" shows concern for her safety, but letting her go without following her shows confidence in her, AND he didn't doubt that she was hearing a person
I love how the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” discussion just randomly reoccurs with Sean throughout this entire play through
it’s absolutely hilarious, “but what if you cut off your *insert any body part*”
Seán* it's Irish.
@@tennisthelegend I was going to say that not everyone has accents readily available on their keyboard (or a numpad), but then I saw your badge. Carry on, officer.
@@tennisthelegend do you have to identify yourself as an officer of grammar laws?
I really like that they have the option to watch the plot unfold without having to play it. Makes it accessible to people who can't play games or are bad at them
They do Jack says at the start
It’s also great for people who want to see the other options, but might not want to go through a whole play-through again.
@@ethancarre561 what are you talking about
@@ScorpioTear Sean mentions the "movie mode" at the start of this video, its where you can set some variables and watch it play out like a movie
@Ethan Carré That’s what they’re saying. Not that they wish they had it, but that they do.
I just realized another meaning for the quote *"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"*
If the Werewolf doesn't kill you, his bite just makes you stronger (literally).
That's...what it was trying to say in the first place
Same!
Huh
I just immediately said "oH mY gOd I lOvE kElLy ClArKsOn"
that was the original point of the quote (in this game, at least)
Kaitlyn: "one more day in the great outdoors might actually kill me"
Jacob: "don't mind if I yes"
I love how Sean just randomly blurts out things whenever he hears "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger", cuz he doesn't say anything while characters are talking and then just yells "But what if my nose got chopped off"
the vibes of Jack talking about the "cards I'm meant to be getting" and then immediately missing one in front of him in the cutscene is immaculate (I mean it's also peak ADHD and bad game mechanic explanation but still) (ik he found it later but the timing was too perfect)
Omg exactly, I was screaming at my screen 😭😭😭
My boy left out the Fool card 😭
Any timestamp please?
I miss things easily as well and I'm curious.
Further proof of werewolves: Brenda Song’s character saying “be a lamb”
Also: Landis University. As in John Landis, American Werewolf in London
@@GendoRokabundi bloody hell nice pickup
the cop also siad "does this look like the HARBINGER hotel" harbinger is a word strongly connected to werewolves.
Also on the horror book cover was a werewolf!
@@frederikpedersen1820 a harbinger is just something or someone that announces/warns something to come, be it positive or negative-- its a strong horror movie trope, like if a family moves to a house a neighbor will be outside mowing their lawn and outta nowhere and be like "a century ago a whole family died in that house in a terrible fire", they'd be the harbinger.
i don't think its specific to werewolves, it's just a plot device.
which is pretty satirical/meta thing to do, kudos to the developers.
what's also interesting is a harbinger could also mean someone who is sent ahead to arrange lodging, and seeing as it's a hotel, probably owned by werewolves... it's even funnier.
Guy- "I hate horror"
Jack- threatens his life immediately 🤣🤣🤣
"Who plays this game the first time and leaves Max?"
Kevin. Kevin did.
It's why we love him 😏
I would have shot max given the option. I played way too many zombie games and until dawn. Lol no chances.
I haven't watched Kevin's yet but at that part I thought "bet Kevin did"😂
Dawko: I'M GONNA LEAVE HIM *laughs*
Instantly what I thought when he said that 🤣
Jack: "I wrote this game by the way"
*1 seconds later*
Jack: Woah what's happening
Lmao
“Who leaves Max on the first run?!”
Call Me Kevin nonchalantly whistling rings of fire
I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME LMAO
Jim Pickens strikes again
more like bore ragnarok
Ken laughing menacingly
Well Jacob, I hope you’ve made peace with yourself. You’ve single-handedly caused this entire game to happen.
Fr 😂💀
I hate that the writers took this route. Why not just have the damn van break down for real and find another way (that would be available in ALL potential playthroughs) for someone to discover the clue in the lake?
@@kathrynhoward4196 I actually like the idea that it all happened because a single teenager wanted an extra night with the girl he liked, and made this decision without knowing the outcome would be fatal, He will forever have to live with the guilt, also, if Jacob dies during the playthrough, most times he screams "I'm sorry!". I get your point tho, thats just my opinion.
Well the Hacketts, Silas, and Max & Laura woulda still happened without them..
okay Jacob irks me to no end as well but he is in no way responsible for this mess, the Hackett family is responsible for 100% of this. for all Jacob knew, this camp was super safe, so safe it was a children's camp and they all spent 2 months in it with no issues. yes he is an absolute dickhead for trapping his friends and is exremely selfish for it, but he's not responsible for the werewolf stuff
"Who plays this and leaves Max?!"
Kevin is quivering over Jack's judgement
Dawko:
Kevin is nothing but mischievously pleased with himself.
Exactly
Okay but Kevin is very different. He’s like the true form of Death.
Dawko slowly slinks away
“Cars can be fixed but relationships can’t” BRO JACK WHY SO PERSONAL
Deep
Every time they did the eyeball thing I had a feeling one of them was gonna get stabbed through the little hole in the door
That's what i was thinking! And i was dreading it. I can watch a lot of horror and gore without being fazed, but things in eyes is a huge no for me.
@@SassySoda same here!!! Now I’m scared to watch this in case it happens 🥲
“Im afraid of the dark in the woods” I live in a forest in the middle of no where once it becomes night it’s really creepy. You can’t see anything. Anything
No shit you aren't scared your the killer in the movie
@@msansop2774 I'd rather live in the woods, all my bad experiences in my life happened in a city.
@@Liam_Greyyea living in the woods or just in the countryside in general is much better than the city. I’d feel a lot more on edge living in a crowded place with blaring lights and honking horns
When she broke the lock it wouldn't necessarily be braking and entering, depending on what state the good Samaritan Law could protect them as long as they don't steal anything and are willing to replace the lock. Under the pretense you where trying to rescue someone that seemed to be kidnapped.
Smartass lol
Lockpicking lawyer?
So even if you break a lock to literally save someone's life, you are still expected to replace the lock. Damn, imagine homeless people just opting out of helping someone because they can't afford it.
@@Whitedudeabove Yea, It is a worse case scenario that they charge destruction of private property. But could be less or more depending if your wrong or don't save the individual or the person saved refuses to report that the person the broke the lock saved them. Unfortunately law don't protect those that deserve to be protected in a lot of situations.
@@Whitedudeabove well if they didn’t charge for the destruction of property that leaves a loophole you can’t just go around breaking things cause you thought you were saving someone
I love how he reads a sign that say "Silas the dog boy" then less then 10 seconds later hear the name Silas and say "who's Silas"
Silas the "Dog-boy"...
Next to it is a giant cage...
I'm starting to really put the werewolf idea into perspective.
What if the thing that attacked Max IS Silas.
And the cop maybe keeps people as pets to "play with Silas".
I'd have to see the rest of the game.
@@roseslime713 maybe they just hunt the werewolves the ghost makes?
Read "who's Silas" as he said it
Oh, there was a sign that mentioned that name? Because I sure didn't notice it either and kept on wondering who Silas is.
@@Offensive_Username glad i’m not the only one
Theory: Officer Raimi as well as Mr H. are part of some group that either manages or somehow "handles" the monsters in this game (presumably werewolves of some sort). The guys covered in blood are locals who hunt said monsters. If the monsters really are lycanthropes, that means they appear human for at least part of the time, and the bloody locals might just hunt the _kids,_ believing _them_ to be lycanthropes. Also, the summer camp might be a means of luring the werewolves/monsters into the area (the camp ends before they'd be able to arrive, presumably), then once the kids are gone, the cops/locals/etc. hunt the monsters who were lured to the camp. Thus, the cops/locals thin the heard, then the pattern repeats every year.
Bruv i think that they are the monsters
Remember that there was an underground cabin it could be where they turn into some king of monster or wolf and they chain yhemeselves up but they are too strong that they break them chains and are just stuck in the basement.
Not really a spoiler: Man, are you waaay off lol.
@@TheUKisThere actually is it kinda a spoiler, least the werewolf part is. There’s already some stuff about the monsters in the game already leaked
@@shaninejackman9395 Had me on a whole “tangent.” The spoiler bit was referring to the second half of my reply. Since it’s telling them they are wrong.
Any sort of monster that appears like a normal human at certain times is always perfect for situations of groups of people. This gang of friends could start all doubting one another and ultimately going so far as to attack each other. I think it would be really great to have such a monster, as the dialogue is so great, so we could get some fantastic interactions. Also werewolves are just so campy, that they suit camp settings!
we gonna talk about the fact that the couple shouldve just listened to the sketchy officer 😭
The sketchy officer acted so suspiciously that they completely ignored him. I don't think I even blame them for that.
nahhh, that cop was so freaking weird, I'm not surprised they didn't trust him. a possibly corrupt, serial killer cop is more believable a threat than a mythical beast in the woods
