The Quarry
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A game created for the LÖVE Jam.
How to Play
Find the key to get home! Avoid getting caught by monsters by either running away from them or throwing your pet rock at them. Using the key, unlock the gate to make it home!
Taking Damage
If a monster catches you, you'll lose health! Quickly tap the movement keys to get out of their hold.
If you're no longer holding your pet rock, you will slowly lose health. The further away you are from your rock the more rapidly you take damage, so pick up your rock!
Healing
If you stand still for awhile, you will slowly regain health. You can also pet your rock to gain a little more health.
Last option: talk to your rock to gain an incredible burst of healing, but watch out! Talking alerts your presence to monsters!

Neat.
Cute short game, though for some reason it reminds me of the kind of games in creepypastas that end up haunted with the strange back stories XD Enjoyed greatly
Why is it called the quarry?
You are the enemies' quarry, and you have a pet rock. Rocks can be found in quarries, so it's a double pun!
oh boy, so sloow.. well, that's the point, isn't it? :) (3:07)
Haha, yeah it's a pretty slow game. You can move faster by holding the left shift key, but even then, it's not much faster. Liked the timing with the bug - niceee
(I've fixed the bug now lol)
