Info about Dead by Daylight - Ghost Face®:

Official game description:
  
_**Ghost Face**_ is a brand-new Killer for Dead by Daylight. the Ghost Face DLC unlocks its new Killer and exclusive items for the new killer.  
Acquaintances are a dangerous deception. Our workplace is filled with them; strangers beside us, five days a week. A distant familiarity grown from habit; the blanks filled with assumptions as we forget how little we know, until proven otherwise.  
The Ghost Face took full advantage of the fact. His entourage at the newspaper could have spotted that the Roseville murders led to him. There were clues: the days he missed work, the victims’ time of death, and the detailed articles he wrote citing sources he never shared. But his coworkers did not see. The Ghost Face blended into the everyday. No one thought the man seated on their left could be responsible for the murder of a dozen people. Until proven otherwise.  
In the end, The Ghost Face would have gotten away with it as he had before: he would have packed his bags when the investigation pointed in his direction, driven a few miles, and looked for another job. But this time he found a richer hunting ground…  
The Ghost Face
--------------
At first glance, Jed Olsen was a kind and enthusiastic freelancer with experience at various small newspapers.  
He was hired at the Roseville Gazette, whose staff appreciated how easy-going he seemed. Olsen didn’t have to justify his erratic career path, which zigzagged between Utah and Philadelphia. He had a good attitude and a decent portfolio, which showed he’d covered serious news such as unsolved murders. Most importantly, he was ready to start right away.  
Five months later, the Roseville Murders began: victims ranging from young to old, stabbed to death in their homes. The whole staff was working the story.  
The number of victims surged as Olsen worked the story. To heighten the swelling panic in Roseville, Olsen produced the footage of a hooded figure breaking into a house at night. Olsen’s masked face, a white blur in the dark, stared at the camera for a second, before disappearing inside. “The Ghost Face Caught on Tape” was the title Olsen gave the article. He was proud of his work, enjoying how the whole town now feared a ghost story.  
When the investigation started to point in his direction, he left Roseville swiftly. He had written and collected a dozen of articles, all of which fed his legend. Finding a satisfying challenge next would be difficult, yet opportunity found him.  
**The Ghost Face’s Power: Night Shroud**  
The Ghost Face liked to stalk his victims. He’d follow them from the local bar, snapping pictures of them at home while looking for a way in. He could study the same victim for weeks, meticulously registering their habits. He'd return when the urge swelled inside him, too great to ignore. By then he knew exactly what to do. While the Night Shroud is active: The Ghost Face’s Terror Radius shrinks to nil. Under these conditions, The Ghost Face becomes Stealth, as long as he stays unseen from all Survivors. The Ghost Face can stalk Survivors to find their vulnerabilities, making them exposed for a limited time.  
The Ghost Face comes with **3 new perks.**
I’m All Ears
------------
When Survivors create a loud noise outside your Terror Radius, their aura is revealed for a limited time.
Thrilling Tremors
-----------------
After picking up a Survivor, all Generators not being repaired by Survivors are blocked by The Entity and cannot be repaired for a limited time. Affected generators are highlighted by a white aura.  
Furtive Chase
-------------
You become obsessed with one Survivor. When your Obsession is hooked, the Perk receives a token. Each token decreases your Terror Radius during a chase. Next time a Survivor rescues someone from the hook, the rescuer becomes the Obsession.
Exclusive Item for the Ghost
----------------------------
The Ghost Face add-on includes two exclusive items for The Ghost face, the Monochrome Maniac body and Silvery Steel Tactical Knife weapon, only available as part of the DLC.  
Please note that this item cannot be purchased separately.
