death at dawn
Dead by Daylight is an online survival horror game developed by Canadian studio Behavior Interactive. It is an asymmetric multiplayer game in which one player becomes the killer while the other four players take on the roles of survivors. The killer’s goal is to impale each survivor with a sacrificial hook to please the entity, an evil force. The survivors, on the other hand, must work together to repair the generator and avoid capture to power the exit.
The game features original characters as well as licensed characters and locations from popular series such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Attack on Titan, Crypt TV, The Evil Dead, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, “Iron Lady”, “Left 4 Dead”, “Naughty Bear”, “Nicolas Cage”, “Resident Evil”, “Wicked”, “The Ringer”, “Saw”, “Silent Hill”, “Slipknot”, “Stranger Things” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Dead by Daylight originally released on Windows in 2016, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in 2017, a Nintendo Switch version in 2019, and 2020 for Android, iOS, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X/S version. In 2023, it received Steam Deck Verified status. The game was published by Starbreeze Studios until 2018, when Behavior Interactive acquired the publishing rights.
The Nintendo Switch version is published by 505 Games, and the physical versions of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are published by Deep Silver. Although the game received mixed reviews upon release, it was a commercial success and amassed a player base of over 50 million. A film adaptation of the game is currently in development at Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster Productions.

Dead by Daylight gameplay
Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical horror game in which one player takes on the role of the killer while the other four players take on the roles of survivors. The goal of the survivors is to escape justice by repairing the generator to power the exit. The killer’s goal is to impale all survivors before they escape.
If only one survivor remains, they can attempt to find an escape pod or be sacrificed by the entity. Survivors may be injured, hooked, or rescued by others. When hooked, the survivor enters a struggling phase and must resist the entity. If taken a third time, they are sacrificed.
Survivors can sprint, walk, crouch, or crawl, and must evade the killer by hiding and losing sight. Killers have unique powers and abilities, such as turning invisible or using a chainsaw. The killer’s terror radius triggers a heartbeat and red lights to indicate their presence. Some killers can suppress these indicators, surprising survivors.
Survivors can search chests for useful items such as maps, keys, and health kits. The game features a variety of killers and survivors, each with their own playstyle and abilities. Dead by Daylight offers intense multiplayer matches and strategic gameplay elements for an immersive horror experience.
Dead by Daylight plot
In Dead by Daylight, the Entity is an otherworldly terrorist who is drawn to violence and malevolence. It forces the killer (usually a serial killer or a tragic figure) to hunt down and kill the survivors. The entity feeds on the emotions and souls of its victims.
Survivors find themselves trapped in the realm of entities that are drawn to them as they wander into certain places or are taken away upon death. They rest around bonfires between trials, where tributes can be offered to attract entities. Each trial takes place in an area relevant to the killer’s history. Escaping the trial brought the survivors back to the campfire.
This entity acts as an impartial observer, aiding both survivors and killers. The game gives each survivor and killer their own backstory, explaining their abilities and how they ended up in the physical realm. These backstories are expanded upon through the regularly released “Tomes” and a battle pass called “The Rift.”
