Death Is Not an Escape.

Trapped forever in a realm of eldritch evil where even death is not an escape, four determined Survivors face a bloodthirsty Killer in a vicious game of nerve and wits. Pick a side and step into a world of tension and terror with horror gaming's best asymmetrical multiplayer.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

Key Features

•\tSurvive Together… Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?

•\tWhere Am I? - Each level is procedurally generated, so you’ll never know what to expect. Random spawn points mean you will never feel safe as the world and its danger change every time you play.

•\tA Feast for Killers - Dead by Daylight draws from all corners of the horror world. As a Killer you can play as anything from a powerful Slasher to terrifying paranormal entities. Familiarize yourself with your Killing Grounds and master each Killer’s unique power to be able to hunt, catch and sacrifice your victims.

•\tDeeper and Deeper - Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system and plenty of unlockables that can be customized to fit your own personal strategy. Experience, skills and understanding of the environment are key to being able to hunt or outwit the Killer.

•\tReal People, Real Fear - The procedural levels and real human reactions to pure horror makes each game session an unexpected scenario. You will never be able to tell how it’s going to turn out. Ambience, music, and chilling environments combine into a terrifying experience. With enough time, you might even discover what’s hiding in the fog.

Darkwater is a cooperative extraction horror game for 1-4 players. Take command of your own custom submarine and survive the icy depths of an alien moon.

Play solo or enlist your own submariner crew. Up to 4 players can team up and survive an onslaught of deep-sea threats. Face down enemy submarines in naval warfare and dock your vessel to abandoned outposts in order to scavenge for supplies.

A devastating disease has struck an alien planet. The government has frozen the surface of the ocean in response. You and your crew are trapped below the ice.

Source fuel and travel from outpost to outpost in a desperate bid for survival
Uncover snippets of information relating to a greater truth
Plan and strategize every step of the way as you fight against the relentless adversity of a desperate world

Resources are scarce. Discover and explore dilapidated underwater facilities on foot and strip them for all they’re worth. Be prepared to deal with what lurks below.

Face down a variety of unpredictable enemies including infected divers, deep-sea angler fish and alien crabs.
Even the odds using a wide range of weaponry including sledgehammers, blow torches, pistols and shotguns.
Make sure you and your team have enough room to carry back the fuel canisters critical to your survival - teamwork is key to ensuring you live to see another day.

Take direct control of onboard systems for piloting, weapons and sonar. Upgrade your submarine. Expand your deck, invest in different cabins, negotiate with rival vessels, but be ready for war.

Utilize a variety of powerful torpedoes, harpoons, decoy mines and depth charges to gain the upper hand in sub-to-sub combat
Board enemy vessels using a manned torpedo to deliver the ultimate in-person surprise
Invest in unique rooms for your submarine that help with hacking, stealth and other strategic options
