Stranger Things is becoming a part of one of the best asymmetrical survival horror games as it joins Dead by Daylight!

Background

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical survival horror game by Behaviour Interactive originally released in June of 2017. In Dead by Daylight one player is a killer and four others play as survivors. Keep that in mind that this is not something for the younger geeks in your family! Dead By Daylight is rated M for mature. If you fall into that mature category and grew up watching ’80s slasher films like Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street, this may be the game you have been waiting to play your entire life.

The goal is not to kill but to sacrifice the survivors to the Entity, which is the evil power behind the mystical world of the game. As a survivor, you cannot fight back against the killer, you can only evade them. The emphasis is on hiding, running, and fixing generators. Once the survivors fix five generators or find a hatch, they can escape the world of the Entity. Think of it as a very dark game of hide-and-seek that you can play online with your friends.

You cannot create your own character, but the game has a multitude of characters to choose from. Since its release Dead by Daylight has been able to get some of the most famous faces in horror…
