Headlining Horrors: The Quarry and House of Ashes
October is the perfect season for scares, and this bundle delivers with two incredible cinematic horror experiences from the masters of the genre, Supermassive Games.
Leading the pack is The Quarry Deluxe Edition. This narrative-driven thriller is the spiritual successor to the wildly popular Until Dawn. You take control of nine teenage camp counselors on the last night of summer camp, but their plans for a final party quickly descend into a night of unimaginable terror. Every choice you make, big or small, can drastically alter the story and determine who survives the night. The Deluxe Edition sweetens the deal, including 80s-themed character outfits, instant access to the Death Rewind feature, and the popular Horror History Visual Filter Pack.
Joining it is Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. Set near the end of the Iraq War in 2003, the story follows a group of Special Forces soldiers who uncover something far more ancient and deadly than they could have ever imagined. Trapped in a buried Sumerian temple, they must navigate a labyrinth of dark corridors while being hunted by terrifying creatures. It’s an intense, action-packed story of survival where alliances are tested and your decisions seal the fate of the entire cast.
Rhythm and Rebellion: Metal: Hellsinger and Rebel Inc.
If horror isn't your speed, the bundle offers two more critically-acclaimed titles from completely different genres.
Metal: Hellsinger is a one-of-a-kind experience that fuses the frantic action of a first-person shooter with the beat-matching mechanics of a rhythm game. Playing as The Unknown, a being part human and part demon, you battle your way through the harshest domains of Hell. The key to success is slaying enemies to the beat of an original heavy metal soundtrack featuring vocals from legends of the genre. The more in-sync you are, the more powerful you become and the more intense the music gets. It’s a pure shot of adrenaline that was lauded for its innovative and satisfying gameplay.
For those who prefer a more strategic challenge, Rebel Inc: Escalation offers a deep and engaging political/military simulation. Inspired by the complexities of modern counter-insurgency, your mission is to stabilize a war-torn region. You must balance military priorities with civilian needs, winning the hearts and minds of the people while rooting out a deadly insurgency. With multiple regions to stabilize and governors with unique abilities, it’s a thought-provoking game that is both challenging and highly replayable.
More Than Just the Hits
Beyond the major headliners, the October bundle is rounded out with four fantastic indie titles that offer dozens of hours of unique gameplay. Spirit of the Island is a charming life-simulation RPG where you move to a tropical paradise to build a new life, complete with farming, crafting, and exploring, all playable in two-player online co-op.
Lords and Villeins is a lighthearted city-building simulation where you shape the dynasty of a ruling family, managing your villagers' daily lives and building a thriving medieval settlement. A Juggler's Tale is a cinematic puzzle-platformer with a beautiful, puppet-theater art style and a touching story. Finally, Mr. Prepper tasks you with preparing for the worst by building an underground shelter and outsmarting the secret police in a nation living under the thumb of an oppressive government.
The Unbeatable Value of Humble Choice
Even at its standard monthly price, Humble Choice is an exceptional deal. The combined retail value of the games included in any given month often exceeds $150 or more. The promotional discount makes this month an even smarter investment.

Subscribers get access to the Humble Games Collection, a rotating library of fantastic indie titles available to download and play from the Humble app as long as you're a member. Furthermore, you receive a stacking discount on thousands of games in the Humble Store, which grows the longer you maintain your subscription.
