In short
Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where one player acts as a killer and four others play as survivors.
In plain words
One person plays a scary monster trying to catch others. The other four players work together to fix generators and escape. It is a game of hide-and-seek with high stakes.
A simple example
A survivor hides inside a wooden locker to avoid a killer patrolling the area. Meanwhile, their teammate repairs a machine to power the exit gates.
Why it matters
It defined a popular genre of asymmetrical gaming. The game relies on tension and teamwork to keep players engaged for many years.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse it with Dead by Daylight's various licensed horror movie crossovers, which are part of the game rather than separate titles.
