Boo! Well, were you scared? No? Never mind, that’s not my job either. My job is to tell you that there is one of the biggest Steam hits for a limited time free on Epic – the multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight.
How long is the offer valid? The promotion runs from December 2nd to December 9th, 2021. If you add Dead by Daylight to your library during this period, you can keep the game permanently.
Which DLCs are on board? Unfortunately, there is a restriction here – because Epic only gives you the basic edition of Dead by Daylight. Many cool killers and locations are only available in the form of paid DLCs or the more expensive Ultimate and Silent Hill Editions, which you will soon be able to purchase in the Epic Store.

That’s what Dead by Daylight is all about
Most of you should already be familiar with Dead by Daylight. No wonder, after all, the game has built a large fan base in the past 5 years since its release. On Steam, the game reaches a very positive
Scoring an impressive 400,000 reviews. The survival fun is one of the absolute long-running hitsAs a look at the current number of players reveals:
The game principle of Dead by Daylight is simple and that’s probably why it’s so popular: You either play one of four survivors, whose only way to freedom (and to survival) is to switch on generators distributed across the map. They open the exit gate. Each level is procedurally generated so that you cannot memorize routes.
But if the career counseling advised you back then to seek direct customer contact, the role of the killer should be more for you. Its task is obvious: it must prevent the survivors from escaping. Each of the now 26 killers (DLC required) is unique and has its own advantages and disadvantages
Whether killer or survivor – with increasing game time you can improve your character with a variety of bonuses. As a result, Dead by Daylight gains enormous replay value. Also otherwise so much has happened in the game in recent years since our original test that we prefer to have a more up-to-date voice – for example our top killer Dennis, whom we would never contradict:
A heart for horror
Dead by Daylight is a unique experience
Who is the game for?
