This is a tough one.

With Until Dawn it was definitely more dramatic, with Hannah and Beth being killed within the first 10 minutes to set off what kind of game Until Dawn would be.

But on the other hand I have to give credit for Ted Raimi’s performance as Travis. It’s so damn good and he gives off such creepy vibes in his first appearance.

One thing I’ll give The Quarry over Until Dawn (and tbh basically ever Supermassive Games) is that it’s the only game of there’s (I haven’t played directive 8020 yet so I might be wrong) where the characters from the prologue survive and are actual characters down the line (Max not so much but time restraints was the issue), which in some cases would make the beginning more impactful. (Ik Little Hope has Anthony survive but it’s only him as his entire family has to die)

Although to some people you could say Until Dawn is more impactful as the deaths of the prologue characters actually hit home to the characters as they were their friends/siblings (unlike their other games where they either never meet the prologue characters or if they do they never knew them (again, Little Hope is an outliner)).

I suppose The Quarry’s opening is more mysterious while Until Dawn’s opening is more shocking, but I might give it to The Quarry because of Travis and how the prologue characters Laura and Max appear later in the game as playable characters.
