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.
Verdict coming soon: the jury is still reading

This game is like an abusive relationship. Every time you try and leave they pull you back in. Save yourselves.
I started playing Dead by Daylight back in middle school, around 2017 or late 2016. I got hooked on the game because of No0b3, a YouTuber who was incredible at it. He could pull off 360s on killers and loop them like a pro, which really inspired me to dive in. I picked it up when the Doctor was released and became pretty addicted at first, but eventually, I stopped playing because, honestly, I just wasn't very good. I struggled with looping and 360s, trying to be like No0b3, but I was young and didn’t really get the hang of it. I ended up finding other games that I enjoyed more. Recently, I reinstalled it and started playing again. I’ve been loving the new features and updates, but it’s tough to shake off my old habits since so much has changed with survivors and killers. Still, I’m getting better at looping killers, navigating the maps, and keeping track of where everything is, like pallets and windows. I’m starting to get the hang of it, and while I still get downed sometimes, I feel way more confident now. If you’re struggling with the game, don’t give up! Just take the time to learn the mechanics and how the maps work. There’s a lot to learn since things are a bit more complicated now, but I think it’s definitely worth it. Plus, if you buy it, you can return it within two hours or within two weeks of getting it. Take care, and hope you enjoy the game!
Let me throw some pallets in your face!
Come here to play a relaxing, wholesome game of slugging and tunneling, especially if you have TTV anywhere in your username. Nothing says healthy gaming environment like being personally selected for elimination because you dared to exist in the same lobby. Hours will mysteriously disappear as you tell yourself, “Okay, just one more game.” Suddenly it’s 4 AM and you’re P1-ing a character you swore you’d never play because apparently suffering is now a completionist hobby. Highly recommend playing this game post-breakup. Personally, I started playing after my ex and I broke up in 2024, and it provided a beautiful distraction from the crushing realization that I had free time again. Even better: achievement hunting. Why process your emotions when you can spend six hours trying to get one extremely specific achievement that requires you to perform a ritual under a full moon while three survivors simultaneously make terrible decisions? 10/10. Would recommend to anyone looking for: A healthy coping mechanism* Hundreds of hours of grinding Questionable matchmaking Psychological warfare The sweet dopamine of seeing “Achievement Unlocked” A reason to yell “WHY ARE YOU TUNNELING ME?!” at your monitor *Results may vary. Side effects include sleep deprivation, salt, obsession with bloodpoints, and knowing way too much about hooks.
Can't even play the game anymore due to denuvo update, why are we even using this anyway, there are so many better options?
Not playing the game until you completely remove DENUVO from the game. And yes, I know this is not the "DRM" version, and I do not care. DENUVO is a negative infinity PR move in my book; it is an extremely questionable company moral wise at best and straight-up evil at worst in my eyes.
this game can be fun with friends, but so can jumping into a pile of heroin needles (probably) wildly survivor sided
