Game principle
Dead by Daylight is an exciting game about hunting and fleeing, where teamwork and tactics are key – both for the survivors and for the killer. Those who play cleverly and use their abilities well have the best chances of winning!
How it works:
1. Goal of the game.
Survivor:
You play as one of four survivors who are trying to escape from a frightenin, dark enviroment. Your goal is to repair generators to open the gate and escape, without being caught by the killer.
Killer:
You play as the killer, who hunts and catches the survivors to sacrifice them on hooks. Your goal is to catch all the survivors before they escape.
2. Survivors - How to play:
Repairing generators:
Survivors must repair generators to activate the gate. There are a total of 5-7 generators on the map. Repair them to advance progress.
Cooperation:
It is important to work together with the other survivors. You can repair generators faster if you work on them together.
Hiding and Dodging:
The killer can see and hear you. Hide behind objects or in lockers and move quietly to avoid being detected.
Rescue Actions:
If a survivor is hanging on the hook, you can rescue them, but the killer will naturally be watching you.
Escape:
In order to escape, the survivors must repair at least 5 generators and then activate the door or gate.
3. Killer - How to play:
Hunting survivors:
Your goal as the killer is to catch the survivors by tracking their movements and cornering them.
Striking and Hanging:
When you catch a survivor, you strike them and must hang them on a hook. Once a survivor is hanging on a hook, they can be rescued by their teammates, but you can also attack them again to prevent the rescue.
Special abilities:
Each killer has special abilities that can help you catch survivors or make their lives harder. For example, the 'Huntress' can attack with her throwing axes, or the 'Wraith' can turn invisible
Sacrifice:
Your goal is to sacrifice all survivors by hanging them on hooks and ensuring that they cannot be rescued.
4. Game Start and Game Flow
Maps and Environments:
The game takes place in randomly generated environments that offer various obstacles and hiding spots. Each map can feel different every time.
Start:
The game begins when all players (survivors and killer) spawn on the map. The killer starts searching for the survivors, while the survivors attempt to repair generators.
Round End:
A round ends either when all survivors are caught and sacrificed, or when all survivors escape after activating the door or gate.
5. Tips for Survivors:
Be Quiet:
The killer can hear sounds, so try to avoid noises like repairing generators or running when you're nearby.
Hunt vs. Flee:
Avoid direct confrontations with the killer. It's better to bypass the killer and escape rather than fighting them.
Use Lockers and Windows:
Lockers are a great place to hide. Windows are also useful for a quick escape if the killer gets too close
6. Tips for the Killer:
Track Survivors Systematically:
Regularly check areas where survivors might be repairing generators, or follow sounds.
Use Your Special Abilities:
Strategically use the killer's special abilities to catch survivors or make their escape more difficult.
Watch for Rescue Actions:
When you have a survivor on the hook, make sure the others don't just run over to rescue them easily
