PosterSpy X The Quarry
We’re excited to announce a brand new opportunity in partnership with 2K for interactive survival horror game The Quarry.
We will be commissioning 5 members of the PosterSpy community to each produce a poster to promote the game’s release.
To be considered, simply send us your PosterSpy portfolio URL – more details below.
About The Quarry
As the sun sets on the last day of summer camp, the teenage counselors of Hackett’s Quarry throw a party to celebrate. No kids. No adults. No rules. Things quickly take a turn for the worse.
Hunted by blood-drenched locals and something far more sinister, the teens’ party plans unravel into an unpredictable night of horror. Friendly banter and flirtations give way to life-or-death decisions, as relationships build or break under the strain of unimaginable choices.
Play as each of the nine camp counselors in a thrilling cinematic tale, where every decision shapes your unique story from a tangled web of possibilities. Any character can be the star of the show—or die before daylight comes.
This is a paid commission, and artists will be given an asset bank from which they can pull inspiration.
