As someone with 1.3k hours in the game, u def should. Even as a beginner in ow, losing didn't get to u tm which is a great trait when trying a new game. I wish dbd was more new player friendly but unfortunately you'll most likely get rolled😅
I think basically all the killers you didn't recognize were original characters. Each killer has a special kill animation called a mori that you should watch next, gives a little look at their gameplay and what they do
Yep some are based off of actual events or myths. Huntress actually is humming a Russian lullaby. Dr is based off an actual Dr that used shock therapy.
What DBD does so well with these collabs is make them thematically work together in the environment. Some collabs in other games are cool, but really stand out as "HEY LOOK AT ME IM THAT CHARACTER", whereas DBD even has stories that allow for the cohesive universe
Oh also the Huntress' lullaby (she hums it constantly in game) is an actual Russian nursery rhyme song warning children not to sleep too close to the edge of the bed, else a hungry wolf will come and bite them, and carry them away to be eaten. Its called Bayu Bayukshi Bayu. Also, yes. Originally you could unlock masks in game of the original 4 survivors for Leatherface, but due to many players using them for r*cism, they were removed.
okay so a list of which characters are from famous IP's in order of the video (structure will be: "in-game name/actual name - franchise).: The Shape/Michael Myers - Halloween The Cannibal/Bubba Sawyer/Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (and yes, his mask is literally the faces of his victims) The Nightmare/Freddy Krueger - Nightmare on Elmstreet The Pig/Amanda Young - Saw (the pig is not an actual character itself, but all of the underlings of the main villain wear pig masks when taking victims) The Ghost Face/Danny Jonson - This one is unique, cuz only the mask is licensed, while the character itself is original. taken from Scream, tho. The Demogorgon - Stranger Things. And you were right people were pumped about it. It's one of the most fan-favoruite DLC's in the game. The Executioner/Pyramidhead - Silent Hill (2nd game specifically) The Nemesis - Resident Evil (specifically 3rd game) The Cenobite/Pinhead - Hellraiser The Onryo/Sadako - Ringu (the original japanese version of The Ring) The Mastermind/Albert Wesker - Resident Evil (specifically his appearance in the 5th game, tho he is in more games than just that one) Nicolas Cage. fun story, he got in contact with this game, because his son loves the game. The Xenomorph - Alien. Also hekk yeah, Aliens is in my opinion so much better than alien. The Good Guy/Chucky - Child's Play Alan Wake - Alan Wake (possibly the 2nd game specifically?) The Lich/Vecna - Dungeons and Dragons (noteworthy that the survivor is an original character, tho) The Dark Lord/Dracula - Castlevania Also noteworthy: Five Nights At Freddy's has been confirmed to come to the game too this upcoming summer And for a list of all original killers (and their inspiration) also in order of video: The Trapper - inspired by Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees The Wraith + The Hillbilly (both are missing from this video) - poltergeist and leatherface respectively The Nurse - inspired by the nurses from the Silent Hill franchise The Hag - inspired by the wendigo myth The Doctor - inspired by a real world doctor who was mistreating patients using electric shock therapy The Huntress - mostly truly unique, but with some inspiration from the baba yaga (she also has a skin for this, btw) The Clown - inspired by the real world killer clown (John Wayne Gacey) The Spirit - general onryo yokai, slight inspiration from The Ring The Legion - I honestly don't know. These seem to be the most unique ones, in that I cannot find a single real inspiration for them that fits well enough. They're basically just a group of misfit teens turning the wrong path The Plague - I mean... the name is self-explenatory. also she's a devout priestess, so there's that too The Oni - Once again, the name is self-explenatory. Fun fact, he is like the great-gandfather of The Spirit The Deathslinger - the trailer really is all the explaining you need, honestly The Blight - probably the most unique one here, but very clear inspiration from Jekyll&Hyde but if Hyde fully took over The Twins - standard creepy twin horror trope, taking up to 11 to make it a siamese twin The Trickster - standard "artist turned psycho" with some influence of the messed up behind the scenes of KPOP. He also uses his vicitm's screams in his songs The Artist - tortured artist inspiration, mixed with some slight scarecrow inspiration The Dredge - inspired by The Boogieman/The Babadook. He's basically a shapeless fog of victims The Knight - inspired by the sight of haunted armor stands often seen in movies The Skull Merchant - some predator inspiration, as well as a rogue bounty hunter. also the mask IS made of small diamonds The Singularity - it wasn't programmed to harm the crew (this is a meme in the community now). Your standard AI servent gone rogue, plus alien rock The Unknown - inspiration is partly the Skinwalker myth, but also partly the Crocotta
@@pausechampionship just look them up, there's no way there's 0 inspiration. Same slumped posture, same head coverage, same twitching, same breatyy gasping, same general style. Only difference is that dbd nurse can teleport.
@@PolarisFrostyBear i forgot the For Honor inspiration, thank you! Tho he wasn't part of the collab, only the charms were. Especially since there was well over a year between the collab en knight releasing.
Fun fact from a ginormous Dungeons and Dragons fan. The voice you hear in the trailer, the voice of Vecna, that voice is done by Matt Mercer, a very prolific face in the dnd community as well as a very prolific voice actor. Matt Mercer has a dnd group called Critical Role, which is now a full-fledged company. Their first campaign even has a TV show.
not all of the killers are actually villains, quite a few are morally gray, for example the twins. charlotte (the larger of the twins) lost victor (the smaller) while they were running from witch hunters and the entity (basically the eldritch beast that makes the trials and feeds off the emotions of the survivors and killers) gave charlotte the choice to enter its realm and get an essentially fake victor, so now shes just trying to protect him.
And some of them were brainwashed/tortured/tricked into it, like the Wraith. Then you have the likes of the Clown, who willingly chose to enter for fun. And The Shape, who' has such a powerful evil he can actually defy the Entity.
Survivors and Killers will always release with 3 new perks. Perks can be unlocked for other characters if the character who owns them has been leveled up enough. Outside of perks, the only differences survivors have between them is breathing volumes which make some survivors louder than others when running, being injured, etc. Killers on the other hand all have different powers that come alongside their perks. Older killers like Huntress and Doctor have powers that only focus on one or two aspects of killer gameplay. (Huntress: Ranged Attacks, Doctor: Info and Anti-Stealth) Whereas a lot of newer killers get released with powers that include 2+ abilities. (Singularity: Area Control, Mobility, and Chase, Dredge: Mobility, Stealth, and Chase)
Dead by Daylight actually gives basic names for the characters, the way Pyramid Head is called The Executioner, they kind of give them "titles" within the entity realm. For example, it doesn't show, but Michael Myers is actually called The Shape, in game as well. They still have their names, but they also get this new title. It's kind of like the Entity that dragged them to the dbd world is giving them titles and places within its army. Or that's how I take it ahaha. For example, The Spirit is called Rin Yamaoka (when she was alive, at least). And The Clown is called Jeffrey Hawk/Kenneth Chase (Jeffrey is a fake name he took when starting working at the circus). Little fun facts, it's the same with everyone. The only one with no name, is The Unknown (from All Things Wicked) As for the Trickster (my main killer wooo, people will hate me for it XD), you're not that far off on the K-pop star by day, Killer by night. He actually used the sound his victims made, the screams and all that to use in his music :')
The music also follows this theme, the songs before he becomes a killer all call him Michael, but after he's called the Shape in all the songs. @@xyex
As a Dead By Daylight player myself, you can play as both the Survivors (the people being hunted) or the Killer (the hunter), the Survivors goal is to escape the trial by powering up the gate with five generators across the map. The Killer's goal is to kill all Survivors and prevent their escape. Usually, there is only only Killer vs four Survivors, however with 2V8, it is two Killers vs eight Survivors. Sadly, there is some division between Survivors and Killers. There are those who only play Survivor and those who only play as Killer, and then there is the group that plays both Survivor and Killer, I'm in this last group. For example, Skull Merchant, one of the most hated Killers (one of my favorite Killers), to counter her drones, crouch walking to a drone when not in chase is an excellent strategy to counter her drones, basically red light green light. Each Killer has their own counterplay that Survivors must learn in order to survive long enough to escape. However, there are some cases of friendly Killers and toxic Survivors known as Bully Squads. Friendly Killers usually will be merciful to Survivors as long as the Survivors don't anger the Killer. They might let all the Survivors leave the trial or just one. It depends on the Killer. Bully Squads are a team of Survivors that will go out of their way to harass the Killer and other Survivors, making the game more unenjoyable. These toxic players delight in making the Killer or other Survivors DC (disconnect from the match) which would give the player who DCed a penalty for disconnecting. Now, Killers also can be toxic and tunnel or slug the Survivors. Tunneling is when a Killer chases a single Survivor throughout the trial, in a sense, targeting that one Survivor, this behavior is usually to secure a kill, though not a good strategy in my opinion. While the Killer wastes time chasing one Survivior, the other Survivors will be working on the generators or cleansing totems. Slugging is when the Killer knocks down a Survivor and doesn't pick them up, letting the Survivor bleed out. These behaviors are highly frowned upon by most Killers. To anyone who is interested in joining the DBD community, my advice is to be a good sport and not let the toxicity of the community ruin your fun. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to see you in the Fog.
Original Characters: The Trapper (Evan MacMillan) The Wraith (Philip Ojomo) [base game, didn’t have a dedicated trailer] The Hillbilly (Max Thompson Jr.) [Same case as Wraith] The Nurse (Sally Smithson) The Hag (Lisa Sherwood) The Doctor (Herman Carter) The Huntress (Anna) The Clown (Kennith Chase/Jeffrey Hawk) The Spirit (Rin Yamaoka) The Legion (Frank, Julie, Susie, and Joey) The Plague (Adiris) The Ghost Face (Danny Johnson/Jed Olsen) [Scream and the Ghost Face Mask are 2 separate licenses, so the Game Devs used the mask to make a new character who shares similarities to the Scream Films] The Oni (Kazan Yamaoka) [The Spirits great great great … grandfather.] The Deathslinger (Caleb Quinn) The Blight (Talbot Grimes) The Twins (Charlotte and Victor Deshayes) The Trickster (Ji-Woon Hak) The Artist (Carmina Mora) The Dredge The Knight (Tarhos Kovács) The Skull Merchant (Adriana Imai) The Singularity (HUX-A7-13) The Unknown
People started to have eyes on the game after the Halloween chapter. It sort of kickstarted the growth of the game and overtime it got a little better and better. Then once the Stranger Things chapter came out, it propelled the game into a massive surge of popularity that the devs never expected. Then from there, they had much more of a reputation and budget to work with.
I forgot to mention in my other comment this but it was long enough I decided to not edit it in and just put this separately. The cool part of Sadako Rising's chapter is that it is the original character from Ringu and not the character from the Ring. It is an important difference as their backstories are actually very different and Ringu was released first. They chose to work hard to get that license to honor their huge Japanese audience and honor the source material.
There are 3 paragraph chapters...which only 1/3 you have checked out The one you are watching (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is a Paragraph chapter, meaning these are side chapters... The ones you havent explored yet is the Paragraph Chapter for Ash vs Evil Dead and Left Behind which... Ash vs Evil Dead reveals Ash Williams as survivor Left Behind reveals William Bill Overbeck as survivor If you wanna explore their stories check out the Tome Trailers and the Rift Memory cutscenes to give out a big hint of their background...but if you wanna go deeper i suggest searching a video tht contains the entire Archive Stories if you wanna know the entire Archive Memory Or you can check out all the reveal trailers where they showcase the map, the killers power and perks, survivors perks, and a background summary of how they got into the fog (In Dbd)
Always glad to see people interacting with dbd for the first time! I saw you played, so you should definitely react to the memento moris. Make sure it's the most recent! Also I enjoy how you pause After to analyze designs and give commentary, it's fun
We gotta take the time to appreciate this man for segmenting the videos into categories so if you wanted to see his reaction to a specific trailer you could look for it with ease.
There are two types of characters in DBD: original and licensed. Original characters are created by Behavior (the company that made DBD) for the game, that’s why you may not recognize them. Licensed characters are characters from other IPs like movies and games that Behavior gained the rights to use in DBD. I LOVE DBD, I would love to see you try it out some day!
So, they forgot to add the Wraith and the Hillbilly trailers. And also Ash from Evil Dead, and Bill from Left4Dead trailers too. Still missing a few collabs like Friday the 13th, which obviously couldn't be brought in because of the franchise being in courts for so long. Good call on all of those you recognized. The others are indeed original from the game. Check out the mori animations. You should give the game a try. It can be confusing at first, though. Too much stuff.
The best (or worst based on your perspective) part is that several of the original characters like the artist and clown are based on real life stories. The artist is based on a real world male artist who was brutally murdered with their hands, feet, and tongue removed. She is a gender bent version of this person with ink to replace the parts stolen from her. The clown I believe is just based on the psychology of real life murderers where he starts with animals and works his way bigger. I could be wrong and he could be based on a specific killer from history. Worth looking up what they are based on if you can stomach it.
the original serial killer he is based off of is called John Wayne Gacy, he murdered and sexually abused countless boys and young men and also was a licensed clown. Really messed up stuff-
What’s crazy is Vittorio and The Knight are both from the 1300’s. The Knight was also Vittorio’s protection. He ended up locking him in a dungeon. Killed almost an entire village, and then planned on killing Vittorio, but then got taken by The Entity.
There are gameplay trailers for each chapter where they explain what killers can do and explain new things they bring to the game. They are called spotlight trailers and the later ones are really well made. I think it would be fun if you reacted to them. And it would give you a rough idea of what the game looks like and how it works wich is a nice plus.
@@SolitarySaturnnote Some older ones are outdated since killers were rebalanced or reworked For example Clown got added an ability to throw yellow bottles which hasten him Perks some are completelly different from both survivor and killer.
So basically all the killers share the same basic attack, however each has a unique additional ability and some even more than one. Then comes the "perks" wich could be classified as abilities considering they do slightly alter your gameplay depending on how you use them. Like for instance generator defense perks will ultimately result in the survivors taking longer to repair them. And rhen the survivors come with their perks as well such as boon totem perks where you can bless a totem so they give off an effect that will go in the survivor side's favor. And then there are ofcourse the skill that survivors and killers need to practice such as "looping". So basically there are these wooden palettes around the maps always leaning against a wall or big objects so what the survivors do is they have the killer chase them around and around these objects and when the killer eventually catches up the survivor pulls the palette on the killer, stunning them. Then for the killer side there is mind games wich is tricking the survivor into doing something that would sabotage them and result in you getting a hit on them. Ok enough yapping for me 😂
Survivors and Killers have perks. Killers get powers as well but all survivors are functionally identical. The reason you get additional survivors is because every character you unlock has unique perks that you can unlock for other characters. Mikaela was released on her own because she had a new type of perk that flipped the game on it's head.
For the blight the explanation on what he injected into himself, I’ll skip over insignificant parts but keep the important parts Blight was a former alchemist named Talbot grimes who did experiments on many people for a super soldier serum (which lead to a lot of deaths) He got thrown into a pit where he used a summoning ritual and got transported into the realm There’s a lot we don’t know but what we do know is every Halloween the entity would have a purge, this purge would spawn pustula flowers which held putrid serum, Talbot would do EXTENSIVE research using it on rats, birds and other killers (minus wesker). One of his experimented rats bit him leading to an addiction After a while because he got desperate for more of the serum he found himself in a graveyard realm with no exit or entrance. After he lost it he used a chemical he made called compound 33 which got him free from the graveyard. He’d stumble into father campbells chapel (the location in the trailer) and inject himself with the blighted serum (compound 34) and transform into the blight. Any shred of Talbot disappeared into blight serum addiction as his ability is fast running and colliding then injecting himself with more serum
Note: The first name is always a killer and the second or third, a survivor. If there are two/three names and the killer will alway have a "The" in-front. If the name is by itself I clarified those ones more clearly. Another note: Some killers go by a different name such as Michael Myers going by "the Shape" or Pyramid Head goes by "the Executioner" and so on! Some also didn't come with new maps, so I clarified those as well... Edit: This only took like 20 minutes 1. The Nurse, Nea Karlsson (Original) - Came with a map 2.

A lot of the original killers I feel are meant to be a more generic placeholder for a villain (Clown for creepy killer clowns, Legion for the group of teens, Spirit for ghosts, etc)
Maybe for a Follow-up you can look at the Tome cutscenes. They're animated shorts about a minute in length that give more lore to the killers. Granted, you may be a bit lost as they're often addendums to 7-8 pages of lore. But I personally really enjoy the art and care that go into them
each killer in DBD has a unique power to help them catch survivors! You should watch a video about the powers thereare a couple out there and it can help explain a lot about how gameplay works, survivors work together in a group of 4 to power 5 generators, they can use windows and wooden pallets to stall time by 'looping' a killer so others can get generators done. Also this ghost face isn't the GF from Scream! It's an entirely original character that wears the Ghostface costume, this is because Behaviour got the rights to the costume that was used in the original Scream movie (The scream costume was originally just a simple halloween store costume they got rights to). In DBD, Ghostface is actually a cunning manipulator with a big ego, who works as a journalist and pretends to investigate his own murders. And Stranger Things actually got removed for a VERY long while because Netflix screwed Behaviour over and wanted to cut their license agreement, last year they caved in and bought it back after ages and thankfully for it because the amount of Demogorgon players plummeted truly. Mikaela and Pinhead both got released very close to one another individually to make them into a 'chapter' themselves technically, survivors are all the same, the only differences is usually their height and breathing sounds (Some characters are louder then others) and all survivors have 3 unique perks that can be unlocked on all survivors. Mikaela was a BIG DEAL tho as she bought in a brand new mechanic for survivors with 'Boon' perks which lets you cast a spell on the killers 'hex totems'(the totem Vittorio is playing with in the forged in fog trailer) to grant the team strong benefits, like speedy healing, covering your tracks when running etc. Speaking of Vittorio, he's actually from medieval times, but he has been trapped in the entitys realm for a very long time (an eldritch being that kidnaps people to play these trials for all eternity) and because the entitys realm doesn't abide by the laws of time and space, he basically discovered all kinds of technology and information from modern days from survivors taken in the modern times. The Skull Merchant is an infamous killer... She is probly the biggest disappointment in all of DBD history because her power is REALLY POORLY DESIGNED and it has been reworked and is now being reworked AGAIN. All things wicked is one of the best chapters we've had in years... The aesthetic of it is stunning and before this trailer dropped the devs teased it with a weeks worth of mysterious ANalogue horror style posts on instagram that were of things like text message interactions, facebook posts etc. about a community and some strange monster sightings (That we now know as the unknown, a monster with no identity that changes how it looks to kill anyone who dares to define it). THe survivors in the D&D chapter are original characters, you have Aestri Yazar the elf bard, and you can change over to her student, a human bard named Baermar Uraz. Also the reason yuo'd know Vecna from Stranger things is becaus the kids in the show play D&D a lot and name all the monsters they encounter after real D&D monsters, the demogorgon, Mind flayer and Vecna... THo I think the term for Mind flayer is very innacurate, it should be an Elder Brain.
For the All Things Wicked chapter you should react to the teasers leading up the trailer. The marketing team for that chapter did a great job and the teasers are amazingly scary.
My main mains are Vecna, Singularity, Knight, Oni, and ghost face, but if you do play this game I recommend using the wraith first he's the easiest killer to understand
There's a video by a channel named mint skull that explains most of the killers it is slightly outdated because it came out over a year ago, the ranking video doesn't explain how to play these characters even though it's newer
The game is a 4 vs 1 game where a killer hunts four survivors. Survivors must complete objectives to escape the map. The killer uses special powers to hunt survivors. There are meat hooks on the map that the killer must hunt and hook each survivor three times each to win.
If you're looking for info about the abilities of characters the dbd channel has spotlight trailers. Some are old and got changed since but still a good source for info
42:06 The Singularity is a robot that gained consciousness from touching an alien crystal, and wanted to make a perfect body out of all the humans and clones in the planet they were on. The purple stuff on it is the melted flesh of the people he killed
30:40 hellraiser actually has its own franchise with many more entities like pinhead. (called centobites) their thing is that they cant differentiate between pleasure and pain, thats why most of them look a little whacky! once a person uses their puzzle box, they´ll come to get that person and drag them to their "hell" where they´ll experience eternal pleasure/pain.
Coming from someone who has played DBD since 2016, do you want to know what the scariest thing is in this game? Facing P100 Nea Mains with flashlights, second chance builds while all being in a comp SWF group on Ormond.
The way survivors work is kind of like you said; they’re essentially just reskins of the same character with the same movement speed, size (roughly) and ability. The thing that makes them unique are their 3 unique “perks”-say, a perk that makes you run faster or a perk that makes you heal faster, etc. However, EVERY survivor has access to every other survivors perks via gameplay and unlocking them. So that, in effect, makes all the survivors essentially the same as you were wondering about! (Edit for more clarity: say you’re playing as Nancy from Stranger Things. You can play with her but be using the PERKS of Nicolas Cage, Laurie Strode, and Ripley from Alien!)
Apex has a lot of trailers but they're all really good. personally my favorite is season 2 trailer. I can create some playlists for you if you'd like, that way i can cut out some of the ones that aren't really relevant
Always love it when someone new starts to learn about the wonderful, but also sometimes infuriating world of dbd ❤ if you wanna learn some more of the game, killers, survivors, etc. I highly recommend the channels from Mintskull and AZHYMOVS, who do various things about the game, like explaining where inspirations for the original killers could come from, game mechanics and tricks and so on Keep up the good work!
Fun fact, Castlevania Dracula is twice as unoriginal. First, he is Vlad the Impaler, a real historical figure, and second, he is a vampire from a Bram Stoker story, but since Stoker died more than 80 years ago, he is not under copyright. And third, Castlevania Dracula is the property of Konami and is protected by copyright, even though he is recycled twice. Dracula is twice as unoriginal, but still protected by copyright.
One of the best people to watch for gameplay I think is Monto he plays both killer and survivor. The only characters that are known from movies are Michael meyers,ghostface,leather face,Freddy, the pig,pyramid head,chucky, the alien,the ring girl,vecna,pinhead,nemisis and demigorgon from stranger things but it’s no longer available to get so you would of had to get it when it came out due to copyright rights I think
You definitely should try this game when you get the chance if youre a big fan of horror. Plus the game is very easy to get into. For a future video on DBD, you should check out every killers memento mori’s !!! Thank you for the reaction !
I'd love to see you try the game, however the game isn't all that scary. Maybe for the first couple of games, but after that, dbd is more of a competitive party game with slight horror aspects Edit: Survivors are just reskins with different unlockable perks. Killers have different abilities, survivors are more so just reskins of one another
If you liked the music you shpuld def react to all killer and survivor menu lobby themes. They all have the same melody, but each has different intruments and style that kinda makes that characters personality shine. Legion has a rock/metal kinda version of the theme. Weskers is more grandiose melodramatic. Skull Merchant are Singularity has tech vibes Id really love to see you react
Give ya a like for how quick and astute you were to recognize that some of the characters were original creations to the game. A lot of people who react to these don't ever realize that😂
The Doctor is based on a Chinese doctor that favored electroshock therapy. Something that we in the west also tried and said was unethical. But this Chinese doctor, "Yang Yongxin, was a controversial Chinese psychiatrist who used electroconvulsive therapy without anesthetics or relaxants on alleged internet and gaming addicts to "cure" them of their addiction." Pulled that from the wiki, which is why I used the quotation marks. But I assume you know more since you've played the game, about the game's mechanics.
The one's you arent able to reference are in fact Dead by daylight original characters :) so you arent missing anything . The survivors are all unique with different perks just like the killers have different perks, very fun game if you do decide to play
The Dredge is a monster created through a combination of people’s darkest thoughts. And Haddie, the survivor it comes with, definitely doesn’t give a damn. She’s got quite the lore including fighting off literal vampires. Dredge is nothing new for her
Fun fact: You never see the launch trailer survivors (the victims) in any of the later trailers because they are not actually in the game. They were in the beta, but they were all redesigned at the last minute before the game launched. Two of them were even race swapped (Meg from black to white and Claudette from white to black.)
I love this game much more of a concept lately, it can be too competitive for my tastes. 😅 But all the horror IP's are so cool! I think my favorite is still Sadako. When you buy her or her content, you get a little extra something something when you boot up the game again. Freddy was scary enough, but I had so many nightmares from The Ring (and strangely, the first Resident Evil movie with the laser room).
You could react to elderscrolls online cinematic trailers if you're into the fantasy like genre. They are really high quality and there are quite a bit of them too.
Know this is a bit diiferent to what you've been reacting to, but I would love to see you react to all of the Death Stranding trailers, for the music and to see you being completely and utterly confused.
There are also legendary survivors and killer wich is a difrend survivor or a killer on a killer or survivor there are 3 difrend chapters too an ash vs evil dead chapter an left 4 dead chapter and an new original chapter wich was anounced not long ago also five nights at freddy is coming summer 2025
You can try out this game as long as you don’t treat yourself as a Dwight scaredy-cat this game is not that scary sometimes trust me, I know it gets very annoying sometimes

As someone with 1.3k hours in the game, u def should. Even as a beginner in ow, losing didn't get to u tm which is a great trait when trying a new game. I wish dbd was more new player friendly but unfortunately you'll most likely get rolled😅
@@SolitarySaturn Yes please, it would be so entertaining to watch and viewer matches would be super fun to do!
@@SolitarySaturn yes, the game is alot different from shooter games, but still requires skill to loop or kill
Absolutely!
you would have A LOT to learn but it could still be fun!
I think basically all the killers you didn't recognize were original characters. Each killer has a special kill animation called a mori that you should watch next, gives a little look at their gameplay and what they do
Yep some are based off of actual events or myths. Huntress actually is humming a Russian lullaby. Dr is based off an actual Dr that used shock therapy.

What DBD does so well with these collabs is make them thematically work together in the environment. Some collabs in other games are cool, but really stand out as "HEY LOOK AT ME IM THAT CHARACTER", whereas DBD even has stories that allow for the cohesive universe
Ghostface great example. Instead of taking an existing ghostface they made him an OC
@@Hiswf_the entity also can branch out to different universes. Opens up a lot for collaborations
Oh also the Huntress' lullaby (she hums it constantly in game) is an actual Russian nursery rhyme song warning children not to sleep too close to the edge of the bed, else a hungry wolf will come and bite them, and carry them away to be eaten. Its called Bayu Bayukshi Bayu.
Also, yes. Originally you could unlock masks in game of the original 4 survivors for Leatherface, but due to many players using them for r*cism, they were removed.
okay so a list of which characters are from famous IP's in order of the video (structure will be: "in-game name/actual name - franchise).:
The Shape/Michael Myers - Halloween
The Cannibal/Bubba Sawyer/Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (and yes, his mask is literally the faces of his victims)
The Nightmare/Freddy Krueger - Nightmare on Elmstreet
The Pig/Amanda Young - Saw (the pig is not an actual character itself, but all of the underlings of the main villain wear pig masks when taking victims)
The Ghost Face/Danny Jonson - This one is unique, cuz only the mask is licensed, while the character itself is original. taken from Scream, tho.
The Demogorgon - Stranger Things. And you were right people were pumped about it. It's one of the most fan-favoruite DLC's in the game.
The Executioner/Pyramidhead - Silent Hill (2nd game specifically)
The Nemesis - Resident Evil (specifically 3rd game)
The Cenobite/Pinhead - Hellraiser
The Onryo/Sadako - Ringu (the original japanese version of The Ring)
The Mastermind/Albert Wesker - Resident Evil (specifically his appearance in the 5th game, tho he is in more games than just that one)
Nicolas Cage. fun story, he got in contact with this game, because his son loves the game.
The Xenomorph - Alien. Also hekk yeah, Aliens is in my opinion so much better than alien.
The Good Guy/Chucky - Child's Play
Alan Wake - Alan Wake (possibly the 2nd game specifically?)
The Lich/Vecna - Dungeons and Dragons (noteworthy that the survivor is an original character, tho)
The Dark Lord/Dracula - Castlevania
Also noteworthy: Five Nights At Freddy's has been confirmed to come to the game too this upcoming summer
And for a list of all original killers (and their inspiration) also in order of video:
The Trapper - inspired by Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees
The Wraith + The Hillbilly (both are missing from this video) - poltergeist and leatherface respectively
The Nurse - inspired by the nurses from the Silent Hill franchise
The Hag - inspired by the wendigo myth
The Doctor - inspired by a real world doctor who was mistreating patients using electric shock therapy
The Huntress - mostly truly unique, but with some inspiration from the baba yaga (she also has a skin for this, btw)
The Clown - inspired by the real world killer clown (John Wayne Gacey)
The Spirit - general onryo yokai, slight inspiration from The Ring
The Legion - I honestly don't know. These seem to be the most unique ones, in that I cannot find a single real inspiration for them that fits well enough. They're basically just a group of misfit teens turning the wrong path
The Plague - I mean... the name is self-explenatory. also she's a devout priestess, so there's that too
The Oni - Once again, the name is self-explenatory. Fun fact, he is like the great-gandfather of The Spirit
The Deathslinger - the trailer really is all the explaining you need, honestly
The Blight - probably the most unique one here, but very clear inspiration from Jekyll&Hyde but if Hyde fully took over
The Twins - standard creepy twin horror trope, taking up to 11 to make it a siamese twin
The Trickster - standard "artist turned psycho" with some influence of the messed up behind the scenes of KPOP. He also uses his vicitm's screams in his songs
The Artist - tortured artist inspiration, mixed with some slight scarecrow inspiration
The Dredge - inspired by The Boogieman/The Babadook. He's basically a shapeless fog of victims
The Knight - inspired by the sight of haunted armor stands often seen in movies
The Skull Merchant - some predator inspiration, as well as a rogue bounty hunter. also the mask IS made of small diamonds
The Singularity - it wasn't programmed to harm the crew (this is a meme in the community now). Your standard AI servent gone rogue, plus alien rock
The Unknown - inspiration is partly the Skinwalker myth, but also partly the Crocotta
since when was nurse inspired by silent hill??
The Knight was also inspired by the game For Honor. He was part of a collab between the two games
@@pausechampionship just look them up, there's no way there's 0 inspiration. Same slumped posture, same head coverage, same twitching, same breatyy gasping, same general style. Only difference is that dbd nurse can teleport.
@@PolarisFrostyBear i forgot the For Honor inspiration, thank you! Tho he wasn't part of the collab, only the charms were. Especially since there was well over a year between the collab en knight releasing.
@@pausechampionshipis this not a well known fact?
Fun fact from a ginormous Dungeons and Dragons fan. The voice you hear in the trailer, the voice of Vecna, that voice is done by Matt Mercer, a very prolific face in the dnd community as well as a very prolific voice actor. Matt Mercer has a dnd group called Critical Role, which is now a full-fledged company. Their first campaign even has a TV show.
not all of the killers are actually villains, quite a few are morally gray, for example the twins. charlotte (the larger of the twins) lost victor (the smaller) while they were running from witch hunters and the entity (basically the eldritch beast that makes the trials and feeds off the emotions of the survivors and killers) gave charlotte the choice to enter its realm and get an essentially fake victor, so now shes just trying to protect him.
And some of them were brainwashed/tortured/tricked into it, like the Wraith. Then you have the likes of the Clown, who willingly chose to enter for fun. And The Shape, who' has such a powerful evil he can actually defy the Entity.
To be honest, when I first heard that Nicolas Cage was going to be in the game, I wasn't sure if he'd be a survivor or a killer.
Survivors and Killers will always release with 3 new perks. Perks can be unlocked for other characters if the character who owns them has been leveled up enough. Outside of perks, the only differences survivors have between them is breathing volumes which make some survivors louder than others when running, being injured, etc.
Killers on the other hand all have different powers that come alongside their perks. Older killers like Huntress and Doctor have powers that only focus on one or two aspects of killer gameplay. (Huntress: Ranged Attacks, Doctor: Info and Anti-Stealth) Whereas a lot of newer killers get released with powers that include 2+ abilities. (Singularity: Area Control, Mobility, and Chase, Dredge: Mobility, Stealth, and Chase)
Dead by Daylight actually gives basic names for the characters, the way Pyramid Head is called The Executioner, they kind of give them "titles" within the entity realm. For example, it doesn't show, but Michael Myers is actually called The Shape, in game as well. They still have their names, but they also get this new title. It's kind of like the Entity that dragged them to the dbd world is giving them titles and places within its army. Or that's how I take it ahaha. For example, The Spirit is called Rin Yamaoka (when she was alive, at least). And The Clown is called Jeffrey Hawk/Kenneth Chase (Jeffrey is a fake name he took when starting working at the circus). Little fun facts, it's the same with everyone. The only one with no name, is The Unknown (from All Things Wicked)
As for the Trickster (my main killer wooo, people will hate me for it XD), you're not that far off on the K-pop star by day, Killer by night. He actually used the sound his victims made, the screams and all that to use in his music :')
The Shape is actually from the first Halloween movie (maybe others, too) credits. It's what he was called in the credits, rather than Michael Myers.
Hate you?! Nah I love you! Fellow Trickster main ❤
The music also follows this theme, the songs before he becomes a killer all call him Michael, but after he's called the Shape in all the songs. @@xyex
WOO FELLOW TRICKSTER MAIN ASSEMBLE
Wouldn’t the dredge and demogorgan also not have an original name?
This is surreal. First you played Overwatch, and now you're playing this. Both of these games are 2 of my absolute favorites that I play religiously.
Same but not overwatch, but paladins
As a Dead By Daylight player myself, you can play as both the Survivors (the people being hunted) or the Killer (the hunter), the Survivors goal is to escape the trial by powering up the gate with five generators across the map. The Killer's goal is to kill all Survivors and prevent their escape. Usually, there is only only Killer vs four Survivors, however with 2V8, it is two Killers vs eight Survivors.
Sadly, there is some division between Survivors and Killers. There are those who only play Survivor and those who only play as Killer, and then there is the group that plays both Survivor and Killer, I'm in this last group. For example, Skull Merchant, one of the most hated Killers (one of my favorite Killers), to counter her drones, crouch walking to a drone when not in chase is an excellent strategy to counter her drones, basically red light green light.
Each Killer has their own counterplay that Survivors must learn in order to survive long enough to escape. However, there are some cases of friendly Killers and toxic Survivors known as Bully Squads.
Friendly Killers usually will be merciful to Survivors as long as the Survivors don't anger the Killer. They might let all the Survivors leave the trial or just one. It depends on the Killer.
Bully Squads are a team of Survivors that will go out of their way to harass the Killer and other Survivors, making the game more unenjoyable. These toxic players delight in making the Killer or other Survivors DC (disconnect from the match) which would give the player who DCed a penalty for disconnecting.
Now, Killers also can be toxic and tunnel or slug the Survivors. Tunneling is when a Killer chases a single Survivor throughout the trial, in a sense, targeting that one Survivor, this behavior is usually to secure a kill, though not a good strategy in my opinion. While the Killer wastes time chasing one Survivior, the other Survivors will be working on the generators or cleansing totems. Slugging is when the Killer knocks down a Survivor and doesn't pick them up, letting the Survivor bleed out. These behaviors are highly frowned upon by most Killers.
To anyone who is interested in joining the DBD community, my advice is to be a good sport and not let the toxicity of the community ruin your fun. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to see you in the Fog.

People started to have eyes on the game after the Halloween chapter. It sort of kickstarted the growth of the game and overtime it got a little better and better. Then once the Stranger Things chapter came out, it propelled the game into a massive surge of popularity that the devs never expected. Then from there, they had much more of a reputation and budget to work with.
Everybody forgets that Ash from Ash vs Evil Dead has a trailer
I forgot to mention in my other comment this but it was long enough I decided to not edit it in and just put this separately. The cool part of Sadako Rising's chapter is that it is the original character from Ringu and not the character from the Ring. It is an important difference as their backstories are actually very different and Ringu was released first. They chose to work hard to get that license to honor their huge Japanese audience and honor the source material.
Omg from overwatch to dead by daylight welcomeeee!!! 🎉
There are 3 paragraph chapters...which only 1/3 you have checked out
The one you are watching (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is a Paragraph chapter, meaning these are side chapters...
The ones you havent explored yet is the Paragraph Chapter for Ash vs Evil Dead and Left Behind which...
Ash vs Evil Dead reveals Ash Williams as survivor
Left Behind reveals William Bill Overbeck as survivor
If you wanna explore their stories check out the Tome Trailers and the Rift Memory cutscenes to give out a big hint of their background...but if you wanna go deeper i suggest searching a video tht contains the entire Archive Stories if you wanna know the entire Archive Memory
Or you can check out all the reveal trailers where they showcase the map, the killers power and perks, survivors perks, and a background summary of how they got into the fog (In Dbd)
Always glad to see people interacting with dbd for the first time! I saw you played, so you should definitely react to the memento moris. Make sure it's the most recent!
Also I enjoy how you pause After to analyze designs and give commentary, it's fun
We gotta take the time to appreciate this man for segmenting the videos into categories so if you wanted to see his reaction to a specific trailer you could look for it with ease.
Thanks for watching!
There are two types of characters in DBD: original and licensed. Original characters are created by Behavior (the company that made DBD) for the game, that’s why you may not recognize them. Licensed characters are characters from other IPs like movies and games that Behavior gained the rights to use in DBD.
I LOVE DBD, I would love to see you try it out some day!
No wayy!! I’m so excited you’re getting into dead by daylight🤩
fun thing is that it actually makes sense in the game's lore as to why all these licenses are here
I (most likely among others) requested this a little while ago because I really wanted to watch your reaction to these, thank you!
Hope you enjoyed!
So, they forgot to add the Wraith and the Hillbilly trailers. And also Ash from Evil Dead, and Bill from Left4Dead trailers too.
Still missing a few collabs like Friday the 13th, which obviously couldn't be brought in because of the franchise being in courts for so long.
Good call on all of those you recognized. The others are indeed original from the game.
Check out the mori animations.
You should give the game a try. It can be confusing at first, though. Too much stuff.
The best (or worst based on your perspective) part is that several of the original characters like the artist and clown are based on real life stories. The artist is based on a real world male artist who was brutally murdered with their hands, feet, and tongue removed. She is a gender bent version of this person with ink to replace the parts stolen from her.
The clown I believe is just based on the psychology of real life murderers where he starts with animals and works his way bigger. I could be wrong and he could be based on a specific killer from history. Worth looking up what they are based on if you can stomach it.
the original serial killer he is based off of is called John Wayne Gacy, he murdered and sexually abused countless boys and young men and also was a licensed clown. Really messed up stuff-
Awesome to see you getting in to different games
What’s crazy is Vittorio and The Knight are both from the 1300’s. The Knight was also Vittorio’s protection. He ended up locking him in a dungeon. Killed almost an entire village, and then planned on killing Vittorio, but then got taken by The Entity.
There are gameplay trailers for each chapter where they explain what killers can do and explain new things they bring to the game. They are called spotlight trailers and the later ones are really well made. I think it would be fun if you reacted to them. And it would give you a rough idea of what the game looks like and how it works wich is a nice plus.
Nice, maybe I will check those out as well!
@@SolitarySaturnnote
Some older ones are outdated since killers were rebalanced or reworked
For example Clown got added an ability to throw yellow bottles which hasten him
Perks some are completelly different from both survivor and killer.
So basically all the killers share the same basic attack, however each has a unique additional ability and some even more than one. Then comes the "perks" wich could be classified as abilities considering they do slightly alter your gameplay depending on how you use them. Like for instance generator defense perks will ultimately result in the survivors taking longer to repair them. And rhen the survivors come with their perks as well such as boon totem perks where you can bless a totem so they give off an effect that will go in the survivor side's favor. And then there are ofcourse the skill that survivors and killers need to practice such as "looping". So basically there are these wooden palettes around the maps always leaning against a wall or big objects so what the survivors do is they have the killer chase them around and around these objects and when the killer eventually catches up the survivor pulls the palette on the killer, stunning them. Then for the killer side there is mind games wich is tricking the survivor into doing something that would sabotage them and result in you getting a hit on them. Ok enough yapping for me 😂
This is my main game with 3k hours, its a super fun horror strategy!
Survivors and Killers have perks. Killers get powers as well but all survivors are functionally identical. The reason you get additional survivors is because every character you unlock has unique perks that you can unlock for other characters. Mikaela was released on her own because she had a new type of perk that flipped the game on it's head.
I haven't seen any comments saying this but yes there are gameplay trailers you can check out explaining the abilities and stuff!
so fun fact, the Nostromo Wreckage (Alien map) has a unique effect. you can actually use the gas tubes that Ellen used in the trailer
For the blight the explanation on what he injected into himself, I’ll skip over insignificant parts but keep the important parts
Blight was a former alchemist named Talbot grimes who did experiments on many people for a super soldier serum (which lead to a lot of deaths)
He got thrown into a pit where he used a summoning ritual and got transported into the realm
There’s a lot we don’t know but what we do know is every Halloween the entity would have a purge, this purge would spawn pustula flowers which held putrid serum, Talbot would do EXTENSIVE research using it on rats, birds and other killers (minus wesker).
One of his experimented rats bit him leading to an addiction
After a while because he got desperate for more of the serum he found himself in a graveyard realm with no exit or entrance. After he lost it he used a chemical he made called compound 33 which got him free from the graveyard. He’d stumble into father campbells chapel (the location in the trailer) and inject himself with the blighted serum (compound 34) and transform into the blight. Any shred of Talbot disappeared into blight serum addiction as his ability is fast running and colliding then injecting himself with more serum
Note: The first name is always a killer and the second or third, a survivor. If there are two/three names and the killer will alway have a "The" in-front. If the name is by itself I clarified those ones more clearly. Another note: Some killers go by a different name such as Michael Myers going by "the Shape" or Pyramid Head goes by "the Executioner" and so on! Some also didn't come with new maps, so I clarified those as well...

A lot of the original killers I feel are meant to be a more generic placeholder for a villain (Clown for creepy killer clowns, Legion for the group of teens, Spirit for ghosts, etc)
Also a lot of these characters are original characters for the game and there is so much lore with the game. You should def check out the lore 🙂↕️
Pixel bush is the main lore channel for this game if you want to watch videos about it
Maybe for a Follow-up you can look at the Tome cutscenes.
They're animated shorts about a minute in length that give more lore to the killers.
Granted, you may be a bit lost as they're often addendums to 7-8 pages of lore.
But I personally really enjoy the art and care that go into them
each killer in DBD has a unique power to help them catch survivors! You should watch a video about the powers thereare a couple out there and it can help explain a lot about how gameplay works, survivors work together in a group of 4 to power 5 generators, they can use windows and wooden pallets to stall time by 'looping' a killer so others can get generators done.
Also this ghost face isn't the GF from Scream! It's an entirely original character that wears the Ghostface costume, this is because Behaviour got the rights to the costume that was used in the original Scream movie (The scream costume was originally just a simple halloween store costume they got rights to). In DBD, Ghostface is actually a cunning manipulator with a big ego, who works as a journalist and pretends to investigate his own murders.
And Stranger Things actually got removed for a VERY long while because Netflix screwed Behaviour over and wanted to cut their license agreement, last year they caved in and bought it back after ages and thankfully for it because the amount of Demogorgon players plummeted truly.
Mikaela and Pinhead both got released very close to one another individually to make them into a 'chapter' themselves technically, survivors are all the same, the only differences is usually their height and breathing sounds (Some characters are louder then others) and all survivors have 3 unique perks that can be unlocked on all survivors. Mikaela was a BIG DEAL tho as she bought in a brand new mechanic for survivors with 'Boon' perks which lets you cast a spell on the killers 'hex totems'(the totem Vittorio is playing with in the forged in fog trailer) to grant the team strong benefits, like speedy healing, covering your tracks when running etc.
Speaking of Vittorio, he's actually from medieval times, but he has been trapped in the entitys realm for a very long time (an eldritch being that kidnaps people to play these trials for all eternity) and because the entitys realm doesn't abide by the laws of time and space, he basically discovered all kinds of technology and information from modern days from survivors taken in the modern times. The Skull Merchant is an infamous killer... She is probly the biggest disappointment in all of DBD history because her power is REALLY POORLY DESIGNED and it has been reworked and is now being reworked AGAIN.
All things wicked is one of the best chapters we've had in years... The aesthetic of it is stunning and before this trailer dropped the devs teased it with a weeks worth of mysterious ANalogue horror style posts on instagram that were of things like text message interactions, facebook posts etc. about a community and some strange monster sightings (That we now know as the unknown, a monster with no identity that changes how it looks to kill anyone who dares to define it).
THe survivors in the D&D chapter are original characters, you have Aestri Yazar the elf bard, and you can change over to her student, a human bard named Baermar Uraz. Also the reason yuo'd know Vecna from Stranger things is becaus the kids in the show play D&D a lot and name all the monsters they encounter after real D&D monsters, the demogorgon, Mind flayer and Vecna... THo I think the term for Mind flayer is very innacurate, it should be an Elder Brain.
For the All Things Wicked chapter you should react to the teasers leading up the trailer. The marketing team for that chapter did a great job and the teasers are amazingly scary.
My main mains are Vecna, Singularity, Knight, Oni, and ghost face, but if you do play this game I recommend using the wraith first he's the easiest killer to understand
There's a video by a channel named mint skull that explains most of the killers it is slightly outdated because it came out over a year ago, the ranking video doesn't explain how to play these characters even though it's newer
The game is a 4 vs 1 game where a killer hunts four survivors. Survivors must complete objectives to escape the map. The killer uses special powers to hunt survivors. There are meat hooks on the map that the killer must hunt and hook each survivor three times each to win.
If you're looking for info about the abilities of characters the dbd channel has spotlight trailers. Some are old and got changed since but still a good source for info
Ghostface was licensed from the original manufacturer of the mask.
42:06 The Singularity is a robot that gained consciousness from touching an alien crystal, and wanted to make a perfect body out of all the humans and clones in the planet they were on. The purple stuff on it is the melted flesh of the people he killed
30:40 hellraiser actually has its own franchise with many more entities like pinhead. (called centobites) their thing is that they cant differentiate between pleasure and pain, thats why most of them look a little whacky! once a person uses their puzzle box, they´ll come to get that person and drag them to their "hell" where they´ll experience eternal pleasure/pain.
Coming from someone who has played DBD since 2016, do you want to know what the scariest thing is in this game?
Facing P100 Nea Mains with flashlights, second chance builds while all being in a comp SWF group on Ormond.
Twins and the unknown are what nightmares are made of 😂😂😂😂
i love how survivors in the trailers are scared and hiding while in game they taunt the killer in every chance they get some even run into the killer
Survivors in the trailers : * Courage the Cowardly Dog scream *
Survivors in the game : * Boop *
The way survivors work is kind of like you said; they’re essentially just reskins of the same character with the same movement speed, size (roughly) and ability. The thing that makes them unique are their 3 unique “perks”-say, a perk that makes you run faster or a perk that makes you heal faster, etc.
However, EVERY survivor has access to every other survivors perks via gameplay and unlocking them. So that, in effect, makes all the survivors essentially the same as you were wondering about!
(Edit for more clarity: say you’re playing as Nancy from Stranger Things. You can play with her but be using the PERKS of Nicolas Cage, Laurie Strode, and Ripley from Alien!)
It's cool that I found you through your Overwatch reactions (my old main game) and now you're reacting to Dead By Daylight (my new main game).
A couple others to check out is The wraith and the hillbilly reveal trailers, and ash's reveal trailer called Ash vs evil dead trailer
Apex has a lot of trailers but they're all really good. personally my favorite is season 2 trailer. I can create some playlists for you if you'd like, that way i can cut out some of the ones that aren't really relevant
Always love it when someone new starts to learn about the wonderful, but also sometimes infuriating world of dbd ❤ if you wanna learn some more of the game, killers, survivors, etc. I highly recommend the channels from Mintskull and AZHYMOVS, who do various things about the game, like explaining where inspirations for the original killers could come from, game mechanics and tricks and so on
Keep up the good work!
Fun fact, Castlevania Dracula is twice as unoriginal. First, he is Vlad the Impaler, a real historical figure, and second, he is a vampire from a Bram Stoker story, but since Stoker died more than 80 years ago, he is not under copyright. And third, Castlevania Dracula is the property of Konami and is protected by copyright, even though he is recycled twice. Dracula is twice as unoriginal, but still protected by copyright.
One of the best people to watch for gameplay I think is Monto he plays both killer and survivor. The only characters that are known from movies are Michael meyers,ghostface,leather face,Freddy, the pig,pyramid head,chucky, the alien,the ring girl,vecna,pinhead,nemisis and demigorgon from stranger things but it’s no longer available to get so you would of had to get it when it came out due to copyright rights I think
You definitely should try this game when you get the chance if youre a big fan of horror.
Plus the game is very easy to get into.
For a future video on DBD, you should check out every killers memento mori’s !!!
Thank you for the reaction !
What's terrifying is The Doctor is based on a real person. It's an exaggerated version but still...
Yay! i had been waiting for you to check out some Dead by daylight content! Happy Halloween everyone!!!
40:06 Her mask is made of diamonds, not ironically, because in her lore, she is a multimillionaire assassin who kills successful businessmen.
This is one of those games I’ve been playing since its release, and still play it with the same exciting 😂
“Is this Shao Kahn? That is not Shao Kahn…”. Hahaha, as a DBD and MK fan that gave me a chuckle.
If you wanna see trailers that show off abilities and survivors, you should watch the spotlight trailers, though they are longer
I wish the names of the videos didnt spoil the surprise of the characters, it just takes away half the excitement
I'd love to see you try the game, however the game isn't all that scary. Maybe for the first couple of games, but after that, dbd is more of a competitive party game with slight horror aspects
Edit: Survivors are just reskins with different unlockable perks. Killers have different abilities, survivors are more so just reskins of one another
If you liked the music you shpuld def react to all killer and survivor menu lobby themes. They all have the same melody, but each has different intruments and style that kinda makes that characters personality shine. Legion has a rock/metal kinda version of the theme. Weskers is more grandiose melodramatic. Skull Merchant are Singularity has tech vibes
Id really love to see you react
Give ya a like for how quick and astute you were to recognize that some of the characters were original creations to the game. A lot of people who react to these don't ever realize that😂
The Doctor is based on a Chinese doctor that favored electroshock therapy. Something that we in the west also tried and said was unethical. But this Chinese doctor, "Yang Yongxin, was a controversial Chinese psychiatrist who used electroconvulsive therapy without anesthetics or relaxants on alleged internet and gaming addicts to "cure" them of their addiction." Pulled that from the wiki, which is why I used the quotation marks.
But I assume you know more since you've played the game, about the game's mechanics.
The one's you arent able to reference are in fact Dead by daylight original characters :) so you arent missing anything . The survivors are all unique with different perks just like the killers have different perks, very fun game if you do decide to play
'The Doctor' is based on a real person that is still alive at present!
otzdarvas 12h video playing 2 matches of each killer explaining them 😂😂
You should react to the teaser trailer for the unknown
You can check out the chase themes and menu musics :D
These arent even all the cross overs yet, a big one that doesnt have a trailer yet is Five nights at Freddys coming in the summer next year!
The one you watched didn’t include Wraith and Hillbilly since they didn’t really have legit trailers
They also announced five nights at Freddy’s collaboration next year
The Dredge is a monster created through a combination of people’s darkest thoughts. And Haddie, the survivor it comes with, definitely doesn’t give a damn. She’s got quite the lore including fighting off literal vampires. Dredge is nothing new for her
Fun fact: You never see the launch trailer survivors (the victims) in any of the later trailers because they are not actually in the game. They were in the beta, but they were all redesigned at the last minute before the game launched. Two of them were even race swapped (Meg from black to white and Claudette from white to black.)
You missed Ash from Army of Darkness.
Oh no, I missed one?
I love this game much more of a concept lately, it can be too competitive for my tastes. 😅 But all the horror IP's are so cool! I think my favorite is still Sadako. When you buy her or her content, you get a little extra something something when you boot up the game again. Freddy was scary enough, but I had so many nightmares from The Ring (and strangely, the first Resident Evil movie with the laser room).
React to every killers Mori
Always love a good DBD vid,
NO WAY!!!! I cannot believe this! 🎉😂
You didn't see The Wraith and The Hillbilly trailers (though they are gameplay trailers)
Do a reacting to all the mori's that I feel you will enjoy
You could react to elderscrolls online cinematic trailers if you're into the fantasy like genre. They are really high quality and there are quite a bit of them too.
I was so hype for you to find dbd let's goooo, I have 10k hours in this god forsaken game 😅
Thanks for watching!
Know this is a bit diiferent to what you've been reacting to, but I would love to see you react to all of the Death Stranding trailers, for the music and to see you being completely and utterly confused.
There are also legendary survivors and killer wich is a difrend survivor or a killer on a killer or survivor there are 3 difrend chapters too an ash vs evil dead chapter an left 4 dead chapter and an new original chapter wich was anounced not long ago also five nights at freddy is coming summer 2025

He wants to be a Haddie main 💅
AND we will also have a collab with FNAF in 2025 ! 😄
the doctor is actually based off of a real person in china who would use elctro shock therapy to the brain to stop teens from being addicted to games.
yooo dbd

40:27 There you go.

You can try out this game as long as you don’t treat yourself as a Dwight scaredy-cat this game is not that scary sometimes trust me, I know it gets very annoying sometimes
