If you thought the multiplayer premise of Left 4 Dead sounded fun, but zombies aren't your jam, maybe Dead by Daylight could be the one for you.
This 4 vs. 1 horror game has one person take on the role of the Killer, and the others play as Survivors. The Killer's goal is to sacrifice those pesky Survivors to "The Entity." To do this, they hunt, chase, and ultimately impale the survivors on one of many sacrificial hooks.
If you play as a Survivor, you'll repair generators to power up the exit gates, evade and engage the Killers in terrifying games of chase to give your allies time to fix things up, and escape the Killers if they attack you. Help your buddies stay alive, rescue them from "Dying State" (which happens if you're struck twice by the Killer), and repair those generators to power up the exit gates for your escape before time runs out.
You can play as a range of wily Survivors or truly creepy Killers, including franchise DLC such as Ghost Face from Scream, Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street, Pinhead from Hellraiser, and Laurie Strode from Halloween, as well as characters from other famous games, like Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil!
