Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetric one-versus-four game in which one player takes on the role of a Killer and the other four play as Survivors. The Killer must hunt and impale each Survivor on sacrificial hooks to appease a malevolent force known as the Entity, while the Survivors have to avoid being caught and power up the exit gates by working together to fix five generators. The game has featured crossovers with many different horror films, television series, and video games.
