10 Seemingly Insignificant Video Game Choices That Spiral Out Of Control

8. Investigate The Noise - The Quarry

The Quarry, like any other Supermassive title, features choices and decisions that may lead to your death. Usually, the lethal consequences of such actions take time to take effect, giving you a chance to react and perhaps save yourself at the last minute.

However, there is one deadly choice in the Quarry that takes no time when it comes to dooming your character. Worst of all, it seems like such a simple decision that it’s hard to predict how quickly it will devolve into a brutal and messy end.

Emma, the social media star of the group, can die from an instantaneous werewolf attack while exploring the island on the lake. The certain death hides behind only one simple choice: investigating a strange noise inside a cabin. There is no quick-time event or further choice to make afterwards. As soon as you let curiosity take the best of you, Emma is doomed to get mauled into a bloody puddle.

Of course, not going after strange noises is horror survival 101, but you expect the game to at least let you defend yourself. Unfortunately, the developers clearly wanted to punish the more curious players with a swift and ruthless turn of events.
