Three days ago Dead by Daylight reached his maximum peak of players simultaneously connected to server of game: 105,093. At the time of writing this news, there are more than ninety thousand players connected, as noted by SteamDB. These are considerable numbers, especially considering that we are talking about a game with five years on its shoulders. What is the reason for the renewed success of this horror hide-and-seek?
Without too many mysteries, some streamers Twitch they started replaying us, dragging part of their audience with them. This is a fairly typical scenario for games with live service functions, whose fortunes are largely dictated by these heroes of contemporary gamers. Also helping were the numerous DLCs featuring characters from popular horror series and some very fitting original designs.
Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer horror game (4 vs 1) in which one player takes on the role of the ferocious Killer and the other 4 play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoiding being captured, tortured and killed.
Survivors play in third person and have the benefit of better situational awareness. The Killer plays first-person and is more focused on his prey.
The Survivors’ goal is to escape the hunting ground without getting caught by the Killer, which seems easier than it actually is, especially when the scenario changes each time you play.
