The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A heart-pounding game of cat and mouse where four survivors desperately outwit a single relentless killer in a grim, horror-drenched arena.

What players say

Players are split between loving and hating Dead by Daylight. They consistently call out a deeply toxic community, worse than other competitive games, and criticize the developers for ignoring balance, ruining anniversary events, and focusing on paid DLC instead of new gameplay modes. Many describe the experience as an abusive relationship they can't quit.
