Dead by Daylight is a game that runs shivers down your spine. This game is not a typical horror game. The asymmetrical distribution of the match in 4 vs 1 is what makes the game challenging. One of the five players is the savage killer. The other four Survivors have to strategically live through the night. Much like other video games, this also has undesirable errors troubling many.
