About
10 years of horror. 10 years of jump scares and close calls. 10 years of brutal sacrifices and thrilling escapes.
Trapped forever in a realm of eldritch evil where even death is not an escape, four determined Survivors face a bloodthirsty Killer in a vicious game of nerve and wits. Pick a side and step into a world of tension and terror with horror gaming's best asymmetrical multiplayer.
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.
• 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.

FUN GAME IF YOU LIKE GETTING YOUR BALLS CHOPPED OFF FOR FUN good game highly recommend.
absolutely would not recommend unless you enjoy dealing with the most immature players in any game I've ever played, especially if you want to play killer.
The game is really good! I have a lot of fun playing it with myself and with my friends.
**Quick Rating: 🟢 JirNet Approved — Multiplayer Connection** 📡 **JirNet Connection Report** ⚠️ Warning: Screaming Detected. Please notify your neighbours before connecting. 🟢 **Connection Quality** — I've come back more times than I care to admit. Every match tells a different story: heroic escapes, questionable decisions, and moments where I absolutely should have known better. The gameplay loop keeps pulling me back in. 🟢 **Community Quality** — Built for groups, chaos, and those "one more match" moments. Great with friends, terrifying alone, and guaranteed to create memories... mostly involving someone yelling "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" 🟢 **Time Investment** — The grind is real. One minute you're playing casually, the next you're researching builds, watching guides, and somehow planning your evening around getting chased by a killer with a chainsaw. 📡 **Final Connection Status: █████████░ 90%** 🚦 **JirNet Approval: 🟢 GREEN LIGHT** Dead by Daylight is a game about creating stories through chaos. Whether you're surviving with friends or hunting your next victim, every match creates a new moment. Just remember: the Entity always gets another game out of you.
