Game Description

“Dead by Daylight” is a multiplayer horror game developed by Behavior Interactive. Released in 2016, the game is known for its asymmetrical gameplay, where one player takes on the role of a powerful killer, while the other players become survivors trying to evade and outwit the killer to escape.

Key features of “Dead by Daylight” include:

  1. Asymmetrical Gameplay: The core gameplay involves a 4-vs-1 setup, where one player is the killer, and the other four are survivors. The survivors must work together to repair generators and escape the map, while the killer’s objective is to capture and sacrifice the survivors to an otherworldly entity.
  2. Unique Killers: The game features a variety of killers, each with their own unique abilities, playstyles, and backstories. Some killers are inspired by horror movie icons, while others are original creations.
  3. Survivor Roles: Survivors must cooperate to repair generators, heal each other, and ultimately escape the killer’s grasp. Stealth, teamwork, and strategy are crucial for their survival.
  4. Generators and Hooks: Survivors need to repair a set number of generators to open the exit gates. If a survivor is caught by the killer, they can be placed on a hook to be sacrificed unless another survivor rescues them.
  5. Perks and Progression: Both survivors and killers have their own progression system, unlocking new perks, abilities, and cosmetics to enhance their gameplay.
  6. Maps: The game features a variety of maps with different layouts, environments, and challenges for both killers and survivors.
