Who of us, sitting at a good horror movie, did not wonder what it would be like to play one of the characters watched on the screen?
To feel what it is like to be a breathless fleeing victim, a prey with sensitive survival instincts, chased into a corner from which there is no escape and whose terrible fate has already been sealed. Or maybe the opposite? To feel like a murderer, a mad psychopath with an axe, for whom the suffering of others is the greatest joy.
Dead by Daylight is an excellent asymmetric action multiplayer that offers the opportunity to experience the feelings and motives that guide both sides of the classic horror video game in their actions. The formula is very simple – there are four defenceless future possible victims and there is one murderer who is possessed by bloodthirst. And all this in a setting that will certainly not make the victims feel better in any way. Five players play as selected characters and then the race begins, which is an experience like no other, because how often do you have the opportunity to literally hunt other living people and with all your heart desire their death?
To enrich the gameplay, the game developers have released quite a lot of awesome DLCs in the form of chapters. There are a lot of them, and it can be quite confusing to figure out exactly what each of them is about if you don’t have the entire ready list. Hence the idea for a guide to all chapters. So, here it is!
Chapter 1: The Last Breath

The first and completely free of expansions to the base game. A completely new map invites you to the Crotus Prenn Asylum – a true oasis of peace for lost souls and minds.
