As much as I personally shy away from "deliberate self-scares" for the sake of sleeping at night, I concede that The Quarry actually does a very good job of it, all without relying too much on the genre's conventional game plan. Developed by Supermassive Games of Until Dawn fame, the team's newest and arguably creepiest title doesn't aim to scare you using the standard "Boo!" around every corner. Rather, it slowly builds up the tension using great audio placement and a surprisingly decent narrative, until you're ready to jump under the covers at that first "bump" in the night.
The Quarry's narrative centres around a group of nine teenage camp counsellors who find themselves stuck in Hackett's Quarry for an extra night due to vehicle trouble. Normally, spending another night out would be fine, except for that mysterious violent monster threatening to tear them limb from limb. To make matters worse, the locals aren't exactly helpful. Quite the opposite, really - for some reason, they seem intent on preventing the teens from leaving the quarry, and they're not shy about using force either.

BIGGER DISPLAY, BUT WHAT ELSE?
My initial impression of the Pixel Watch 2 was that it felt like a round Fitbit Sense 2 running Wear OS. The tradeoff was losing iOS compatibility while still facing Fitbit’s paywall for advanced app features.
