What is Dead By Daylight?
Per the official website, Dead By Daylight is a game of hide and seek.
“In Dead by Daylight, stalk, slash, and sacrifice your prey as a monstrous Killer, or join a team of four crafty Survivors working together to escape,” states the description.
Dead by Daylight is described as an online survival horror game with an asymmetric multiplayer format. It was developed by the Canadian studio Behaviour Interactive. The game revolves around a one-versus-four setup, where one player assumes the role of a Killer, while the other four players become Survivors. The objective for the Killer is to impale each Survivor on sacrificial hooks in order to please a malevolent entity called the Entity. On the other hand, the Survivors must evade capture and collaborate to repair five generators, which empowers the exit gates.
In addition to original characters, the game features licensed characters and settings from popular franchises such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Attack on Titan, Crypt TV, Evil Dead, Halloween, Hellraiser, Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil, Ringu, Saw, Silent Hill, Stranger Things, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
