Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

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.

The game features procedurally generated levels, so players never experience a repetitive map. Be the killer and massacre all your victims before they escape, by using your speed and power in 1st person, or team up with your friends to try and outwit the killer with your superior awareness and agility in a 3rd person's view as he hunts you through a nightmare world.

Freddy is coming to Dead by Daylight - as part of the A Nightmare on Elm Street Chapter. He will instill fear in you, and it doesn’t matter if you’re awake or asleep. He and his claw clad hand will find you - so keep running.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic tale of horror where players get to wield Freddy Krueger’s classic glove and claw as a primary weapon. Freddy’s new power, “Dream Demon” will play a trick on Survivors as they fall asleep and becomes trapped in Freddy’s never-ending Nightmare. Quentin Smith is the Chapter’s new Survivor – a young man with an urge to stay awake as he knows what happens if he goes to bed – pills and energy drinks are frequently consumed to avoid death. Freddy and Quentin will fight it out at Badham Preschool - the place where Freddy was shaped into the revenge seeking Killer he is now, and the place where Quentin faces true terror.

The new Chapter will be available for $6,99 on PC through Steam and other digital distribution channels starting today, and will soon be made available on Xbox One and PS4.

Available for $6,99, A Nightmare on Elm Street Chapter includes:

• 1 New Killer + Perks and Power - Freddy Krueger
• 1 New Survivor + Perks - Quentin Smith
• 1 New Map - Springwood: Badham Preschool

Players take on the role of both killer and survivors in a deadly game of cat and mouse. It’s a Mature Gamer take on the thrills of Hide & Seek!
