Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric competitive horror survival game that has become a global benchmark in the horror competitive genre thanks to its unique 1v4 gameplay, immersive horror atmosphere, and rich character roster, boasting a massive and loyal fanbase. True to the essence of horror, the game features meticulously crafted, procedurally generated arenas shrouded in fog and filled with unknown dread, faithfully recapturing the tense, oppressive vibe and dark worldbuilding iconic of horror IPs, delivering an immersive, thrilling competitive experience.
When a mysterious force descends upon the world, countless souls are dragged into a twisted realm of trials, igniting a deadly game of cat and mouse. You may choose freely between two factions, each with vastly different objectives. Take on the role of the Killer in first-person perspective, hunt down prey using unique abilities and overwhelming power, capture and sacrifice four Survivors one by one, and uphold the rules of the trial realm. Play as a Survivor in third-person perspective, cooperate with teammates to evade pursuit, repair generators throughout the fog, unlock the exit gates, and find a way to survive against all odds. With a vast roster of distinct characters to unlock, paired with unique perks and items, you can craft your own playstyle—whether chasing relentlessly or escaping cleverly—and write your own legend in this horror trial.
