The Quarry
Rusted gears and forgotten tunnels echo with the screams of those trapped in The Entity's game.
The Quarry is a desolate, abandoned mining complex located in the remote wilderness of the realm known as The Entity's domain. Once a bustling site for extracting valuable minerals, it now serves as a grim arena where Survivors and Killers are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Its rusted machinery and decaying infrastructure stand as silent witnesses to the tragedy that befell its workers long ago. In the broader context of the Dead by Daylight universe, The Quarry represents another facet of The Entity's twisted playground, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur. It is a place where hope is scarce, and the only way out lies in completing tasks while evading relentless pursuit.

Lore & Background
Long before it became a hunting ground for The Entity, The Quarry was a thriving industrial hub. Miners toiled day and night, extracting ore from deep within the earth, unaware of the darkness that lurked beneath their boots. Over time, accidents, negligence, or perhaps something more sinister caused operations to cease, leaving the site to rot under the weight of neglect. Now, The Quarry exists in a perpetual state of decay, its structures crumbling and machinery rusted beyond repair. The air is thick with dust and the metallic tang of old blood. It is here that Survivors find themselves trapped, forced to repair generators while avoiding the Killer's grasp. The Entity uses this location to test the limits of human endurance, twisting memories and fears into a deadly reality. Legends among survivors whisper that the mines hold secrets—echoes of those who came before, their final moments replayed in the shadows. Whether these stories are true or merely manifestations of fear remains unknown, but one thing is certain: The Quarry is not a place for the weak.
