Dead by Daylight on Wikipedia

Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetric multiplayer survival horror video game developed and published by Canadian studio Behaviour Interactive. It is a one-versus-four game in which one player takes on the role of a Killer and the other four play as Survivors; the Killer's objective is to hunt and impale the Survivors on sacrificial hooks to appease a malevolent beast known as the Entity, which appears both in physical form and spiritually, while the Survivors have to avoid being caught and power up the "exit gates" by working together to fix five separate generators. The game has featured crossovers with many different horror films, television series, and video games.
