What was it about DBD‘s foot fetish stuff?
Now what you have been waiting for: the Dead by daylight

These characters, for the curious, are The nurse, The hunter, The witch, The ghost, The plague, The Twins, The artistAnd The Onryō.

“While we sense that something is afoot here, we can confirm that a character’s design choices align with their universe, backstory, and personality. We’ll leave it up to our players to debate whether the Skull Trader’s footwear affects their performance as a killer.” Behavior Interactive representative told my city by email.
It should be noted that Adriana broke in the process DBD‘s exposed toes, she still has a unique advantage that literally “game in progress‘, so she just barely clears the bar for not being yet another character who smacks of the horror game’s obvious, thinly veiled foot fetish.
Ariana is part of Dead by daylight‘ tools of torment Expansion coming to PC and consoles on March 7th.
