Nothing good ever happens at a summer camp. Look no further than The Quarry when a group of councillors fell prey to a night of horror after getting stranded at Hackett's Quarry.

Alongside the various horrors terrorising the teens throughout the game, the cast of characters will likewise be faced with some difficult choices that will decide how fortunate their fates will be.

However, the developers saw their chance to have some extra fun at our expense with the outcomes of some of these choices. One such case comes when a scantily clad Emma makes her way into the treehouse alone while filming one of her vlogs.

The sound of something moving outsides prompts her to ask if she should look through some belongings or open the trapdoor “and die a horrible, painful death”, she jests to her viewers.

With a monster potentially moments away from bursting into the small room, it's understandable not to want to linger in here for long and decide to leave as soon as possible.

Choosing the latter option, however, proves to be a fatal error. Opening the trapdoor sees a creature brutalise Emma in one of the game's more violent death scenes.

You can't say you weren't warned.
