Dead By Daylight
Dead by Daylight is a spooky online game where four players team up as Survivors, trying to escape from one player who's the Killer. The Killer's job is to hook the Survivors to please a creepy force called the Entity. Meanwhile, Survivors work together to fix generators and power up exit gates, all while avoiding the clutches of the Killer.
Developed by Canadian studio Behaviour Interactive, the game first hit Windows in 2016, followed by releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017, Switch in 2019, and Android, iOS, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X/S in 2020. In 2023, it even became Steam Deck Verified.
Originally published by Starbreeze Studios, Behaviour Interactive took over in 2018. The game received mixed reviews at first, but it became a hit, boasting over 60 million players. With different companies handling publishing for various platforms, Dead by Daylight has managed to spook its way into the hearts of players worldwide.
Dead By Daylight Gameplay
Dead by Daylight is a spooky game where one player is the scary Killer, and four others are the Survivors. They call their spooky adventures "trials." The Survivors need to escape by fixing five out of seven generators scattered around.
These generators power two exit gates. The Killer, on the other hand, has to catch and impale all the Survivors on hooks before they escape. This weird force called the Entity demands sacrifices.
If only one Survivor is left, a secret escape hatch shows up somewhere on the map. But if the Killer closes it or opens an exit gate, the "Endgame Collapse" begins. Survivors have two minutes to escape, and the time can be longer if some Survivors are hurt or hooked.
When time's up, any remaining Survivors get sacrificed to the creepy Entity. When the Killer hunts, they can strike Survivors twice with their weapon or grab them in one go while they're doing something.
Survivors can try to escape the hook the first time, but it's tough. If they fail, they might get saved by teammates. If hooked again, they enter a "struggle phase," resisting the Entity with skill checks. Sadly, if hooked a third time, they become a spooky sacrifice. It's a thrilling game of spooks and escapes!

Dead By Daylight Plot
Dead by Daylight unfolds in a spine-chilling dimension ruled by the Entity, an eldritch horror drawn to violence. Killers, often tormented souls, are compelled to hunt Survivors for sacrifices to sustain the Entity.
The Survivors find themselves trapped in the Entity's constructed world, facing trials in realms linked to each Killer's dark history. Despite its sinister role, the Entity feeds off both the hopes of Survivors and the malevolence of Killers, acting as an impartial force.
Survivors enter this surreal realm through various means, such as wandering into the woods or exploring abandoned structures. They regroup at a campfire between trials, offering a brief respite before the next pursuit.
The Entity's influence extends to the design of realms, reflecting the twisted histories of each Killer. As Survivors seek escape, the Entity remains a mysterious and impartial observer, intervening only to claim those successfully sacrificed.
In the grim tapestry of Dead by Daylight, each Survivor and Killer possesses a unique backstory, explored through "Tomes" released alongside battle passes known as "The Rift." These tomes unravel the personalities and histories of the characters, adding layers of intrigue to the ongoing hunt within the Entity's chilling domain.
