Dead by Daylight: Definitive Edition

2019
Strategy

Horror · Stealth · Survival

Asymmetrical multiplayer horror defines the experience. One player stalks a map as a Killer, hunting down four Survivors who must repair generators to escape. The tension builds with every creak of a locker and the Killer's heartbeat, a constant reminder of the danger lurking nearby. This formula of cat-and-mouse, with its blend of stealth and frantic action, keeps players coming back for the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of a daring escape.

About Dead by Daylight: Definitive Edition

Details
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.
