Description

Death Is Not an Escape.

Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

Key Features

• Survive Together… Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?

• Where Am I? - Each level is procedurally generated, so you’ll never know what to expect. Random spawn points mean you will never feel safe as the world and its danger change every time you play.

• A Feast for Killers - Dead by Daylight draws from all corners of the horror world. As a Killer you can play as anything from a powerful Slasher to terrifying paranormal entities. Familiarize yourself with your Killing Grounds and master each Killer’s unique power to be able to hunt, catch and sacrifice your victims.

• Deeper and Deeper - Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system and plenty of unlockables that can be customized to fit your own personal strategy. Experience, skills and understanding of the environment are key to being able to hunt or outwit the Killer.

• Real People, Real Fear - The procedural levels and real human reactions to pure horror makes each game session an unexpected scenario. You will never be able to tell how it’s going to turn out. Ambience, music, and chilling environments combine into a terrifying experience. With enough time, you might even discover what’s hiding in the fog.

About Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game developed and published by Behaviour Interactive. It was released on PC via Steam on June 14, 2016, becoming one of the first games to establish the asymmetric horror genre. Console versions launched from June 2017 onwards across PS4, Xbox One, and next-generation platforms. Dead by Daylight holds a Mostly Positive rating on Steam.

Each match places one player as the Killer and up to four players as Survivors on a procedurally generated map. Survivors must repair five generators scattered across the map to power the exit gates and escape before being caught. The Killer must find, down, and hook each Survivor for sacrifice to the Entity, the ancient force that governs the realm where all matches take place.

Each Killer has a distinct power that defines how they hunt. The Trapper lays bear traps across the map. The Nurse phases through obstacles and teleports short distances. The Hillbilly uses a chainsaw for rapid traversal and instant downs on contact. Each Survivor carries a unique personal perk alongside a loadout system that lets players build custom perk sets from those unlocked across the full roster.

The game's roster has grown continuously through regular Chapter releases, each typically adding a new Killer, a new Survivor, and sometimes a new map. Licensed chapters have introduced characters from franchises including Halloween, Resident Evil, Stranger Things, Silent Hill, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, and many others. The base game includes the original roster of Killers and Survivors. All post-launch and licensed characters are available through individual DLC purchases.
