## About Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer action game released in 2016 by Behaviour Interactive Inc., currently available for 7.99 USD and verified to run on Steam Deck. Players face a challenging experience where four Survivors match against a single Killer in short-burst sessions that can extend to a massive overall length. The game features mechanics including an exhaustion system, item exploitation, perk synergy, and the possibility of teammate abandonment. Players describe the atmosphere as dark and tense, with horror tension that creates stressful moments throughout matches. Reviewers highlight chaotic match outcomes and split-second survival decisions, while noting that perk synergies matter and teammate behavior remains unpredictable. The game holds an 80% positive rating from over 253,000 Steam reviews.
