“ | Can't shoot what you can't see, darling. | ” |
— Constance to Laura before turning off the lights
|
Constance Hackett (née Grundy) is a supporting character and tertiary antagonist in The Quarry. She was voiced and motion captured by Lin Shaye.
Appearance[]
She is an old woman who wears a blue collared dress.

Constance initially wants to protect the counselors, staying awake the whole night to help her family to do so. However, upon hearing of Kaylee's death, she becomes enraged and erratic, potentially shooting at Laura whom she views as responsible and abandoning the rest of the counselors.
The Quarry[]
Chapter 7[]
Constance walks down into the Hackett house basement where werewolf Nick is held and mocks him, making him shock himself on the electrified metal by teasing him to try to bite her.
Chapter 8[]
Constance talks with Travis in the dining room of the Hackett house. When Travis reveals that Kaylee was murdered, she gets angry from her death, both at Travis and at the counselors. As they are talking, she discovers that Laura and Ryan are in the basement and has them dragged up. She antagonizes them for killing Kaylee and ends up fighting Laura for the shotgun after turning off the lights.
This can cause her demise, as Laura can shoot her in the head during the struggle. If not, she goes back to the table after Laura drops the shotgun and picks it back up. She encourages her family to kill them for murdering Kaylee and can even shoot Laura herself. After the two escape the dining room she helps the rest search for them.
She reappears upstairs with Jedediah as Laura tries to exit the room. Constance does nothing in this scene aside from watching Jedediah fight Laura and potentially watching his death. When Travis comes into the room she encourages Travis to shoot her with silver.
Chapter 9[]
Constance reappears a final time when Laura and Ryan fall downstairs upon finding werewolf Chris. If Bobby is unharmed, she manages to escape her enraged son with her life, but if not, she is brutally murdered by him.
Possible Deaths[]

8 | Shotgun Blast to the Face | Laura | Laura completes the QTE during the struggle for the gun, causing it to accidentally go off. |

Trivia[]
- Constance is the reason why the human Hackett family members (aside from Travis) become hostile, be it from her death or inciting them due to Kaylee's.
- There is a glitch where during Constance’s berating of Travis following Kaylee’s death, all but her hair is gone to the point that it appears that her hair is floating in midair.
- In chapter nine, while Constance drags Laura up from the basement, Laura yells "I'll blow your fucking head off." Depending on your actions, you can actually 'blow' Constance's head off while playing as Laura.
