The Quarry Introduces the Death Rewind Mechanics
We recently learned that the upcoming horror game The Quarry will have a mode
in which there will be no gaming, just watching. But in case you decide to
play, and you don’t have the right survival instinct to keep your characters
alive, the developers will offer you an option called Death Rewind. As the
name suggests, it is the possibility of rewinding time, ie undoing the death
that happens to you.
Some horror fans will immediately say that
Death Rewind will ruin the tension of the game itself, but the good news is
that there will be some limitations related to that option. For starters,
Death Rewind Mechanics won’t be able to be used in the first gameplay unless
you purchase the more expensive Deluxe edition of the game.
Furthermore,
when mechanics are enabled, you will not be able to use them forever. In one
play, it will be possible to use it a maximum of three times, and each time
the player will return to the crucial moment before the character dies to make
a different decision. While some will see this as an option for a kind of
cheating, the thing itself is not much different from “cheating” in the form
of re-crossing the story when you already know the good or bad outcomes.
Just
eliminating or keeping the main characters in the game will be the main
attraction of The Quarr, considering that the developer promises us seven
characters to shape our destiny and 168 variations at the end of the story.
