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.

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!

This Fall, the powers from two of the horror genre’s most beloved brands, The Boulet Brothers & Dead by Daylight, will come together for a first-of-its-kind collaboration that will exhilarate fans. In addition to a special challenge in the forthcoming sixth season of the Emmy-nominated hit AMC+/Shudder reality competition show The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, today it is announced that exciting The Boulet Brothers-thematized in-game items will soon be made available, marking the first time that horror hosts will be included in Dead by Daylight.

“What a thrill to be working with such horror icons as The Boulet Brothers”, states Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive. “Dracmorda and Swanthula are pioneers of drag entertainment and to be featured on The Boulet Brother’s Dragula has been a huge honor. Both our communities are passionate about horror and representation and we thank them for their continued support. We can’t wait to show you more – stay tuned!”

“We are thrilled and honored to be joining the Dead by Daylight universe! We feel the DBD brand is a pioneer in the world of horror gaming, and they have always welcomed and encouraged people from all walks of life to be a part of their world,” said The Boulet Brothers. “We can’t wait for players to get the chance to wrap our signature Boulet Brothers' claws around some survivor necks and we can’t wait for fans to see how DBD has been incorporated into The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula show. It’s something we’ve never done before, and it’s game-changing.”
