Dead by Daylight, developed and published by Behaviour Interactive, is a groundbreaking asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game that pits four Survivors against one Killer in tense, cat-and-mouse gameplay. Each match takes place within the Entity’s realm, a nightmarish world fueled by fear and despair.
 

Survivors must work together to repair generators, open exit gates, and escape the trial while avoiding the Killer. Stealth, teamwork, map awareness and decision-making are critical, as Survivors are fragile and can be downed quickly. Actions such as vaulting, hiding, healing teammates and managing objectives determine success or failure.
 

The Killer plays from a first-person perspective and wields unique powers, abilities and playstyles. Killers range from original creations like The Trapper, The Nurse and The Huntress to iconic licensed characters such as Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Ghost Face, Pyramid Head, Nemesis, Leatherface and The Xenomorph. Each Killer changes how matches unfold.
 

Progression is driven by a perk system, allowing both Survivors and Killers to customize builds that enhance abilities, strategies and playstyles. Maps are procedurally assembled from handcrafted tiles, ensuring variety and unpredictability every match.
 

Dead by Daylight continues to evolve through frequent updates, seasonal events, balance changes and new chapters that introduce characters, maps and mechanics. The game also features ranked matchmaking, custom matches, cross-progression on supported platforms and a strong competitive community.
 

With its intense atmosphere, iconic horror crossovers and endlessly replayable structure, Dead by Daylight stands as one of the most successful and influential multiplayer horror games ever created.
