It was an extremely bold decision to make something that came close to the highs of Until Dawn and then totally fuck it right at the end.

I was praying that I'd maybe gotten the bad ending, or a dodgy route, but no. The trophy popped congratulating me for keeping everyone alive. No resolution whatsoever. No further character interactions of any kind. Instead we are subjected to 30 minutes of credits talked over by two infuriating podcasters mentioning the clues we've picked up throughout the game. It is insufferable. Even if it's meant to be a deliberate joke about annoying true crime pods, it doesn't work because it's still annoying. I'm fuckin' done with "we're doing it on purpose". A wry smile is boring, and worse when you drag it out for half an hour. It genuinely feels like they ran out of money.

Supermassive had lightning in a bottle with Until Dawn, and have been trying to recapture it since. The Quarry had it momentarily, then they dropped the bottle, it smashed, they slipped in dogshit trying to pick it up and landed face first in the shards.

Absolutely agreed. The ending was so lackluster
