Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game set in a lethal arena. One player takes the role of the Killer, while four others play Survivors trying to escape. Survivors see the action in third person; the Killer plays in first person. Survivors can cooperate or act on their own as they repair generators, evade pursuit, and try to reach an exit. The Killer tracks and catches them, using a unique power to hunt and sacrifice Survivors. Chases rely on stealth, timing, and using the environment to outwit an opponent. Maps are procedurally generated, with changing layouts and spawn points from match to match. Killers and Survivors each have progression systems and unlockables that players can customize to suit their strategy.

In an asymmetrical horror match, four Survivors repair generators and evade a Killer—or hunt them down as the Killer.
