Dead By Daylight

Dead by Daylight is an online multiplayer horror game where one player is the Killer and four others are Survivors. The Killer's job is to hunt down and hook each Survivor to satisfy a dark force called the Entity. Meanwhile, the Survivors must repair five generators to power up escape gates and avoid being caught.

The game was first released for Windows in 2016, expanding to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and mobile platforms in subsequent years. Initially receiving mixed reviews, it became a commercial hit, attracting over 60 million players and improving over time. In 2023, it was announced that a movie adaptation is in development by Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster.

Dead By Daylight Gameplay

Dead by Daylight is a spooky game where one player is the Killer and four others are Survivors. The Survivors need to repair five out of seven generators to power up escape gates and get away. Meanwhile, the Killer's job is to catch and hook all the Survivors before they can escape, sacrificing them to a dark force called the Entity.

If only one Survivor is left, they can try to find an escape hatch on the map. When the Killer closes the hatch or a gate opens, an "Endgame Collapse" countdown starts. Survivors can run, walk, crouch, or crawl to hide and dodge the Killer, using items like toolboxes for repairs, med-kits for healing, or flashlights to blind the Killer briefly. The game revolves around chases, where Survivors use their environment to outsmart the Killer and survive.
