Gotta say, this is the scariest killer they’ve ever released yet! Never have I ever been more scared of a locker. I don’t even wanna do a generator if there’s a locker in sight. And that night mode has to be the coolest/creepiest power out of all the killers. Loving this new chapter!

This game excels at being amazingly fun. People complain about it. They say evil dead will finish this game. But I've been playing this non stop for 5 months, I bought many killers including this one and I can't stop being amazed by the fun I have while playing it even when the 4 survivors act like small children. Nice killer Behavior. Keep up the good work.

[@GeorgeNichols]

They say that about every new game that's similar to DBD and then what happens after a while, crickets and violins. DBD remains on the throne. 🤣

[@ProjectCambrian]

Just a thought for a future Killer. A WEREWOLF!! There's lots of visual variety in lucan design from the classic Wolfman, Lon Chaney look to American Werewolf in London, the more human but Twisted looking from HOWL, the Howling and Dog Soldiers for that fully upright look with full canine head. Somewhere in all that is a Werewolf that DBD doesn't need a license for and can be an Original character. You could do a Vampire as well...even your own DRACULA if you wanted to as he is a Public Domain character...but hes Gotta be SCARY and Not stereotypical. Theres a Dracula variant that Dungeons and Dragons created for its Ravenloft setting, Count Strahd and theres One particular illustration that captures the Dracula look but the Cape and such looks Almost Geiger-esque in its design, biological looking Very Inhuman compared to the classic Nobleman in a Tux and Cape. The Big Bad Vampire from the NECROSCOPE series of novels from back in the day would be another great really Inhuman look to go for if you did a Vampire character. Either would be Great but again, both are So Commonplace today that they've Lost aspects of Terror and Horror making them Fun and Entertaining but No Longer Frightening. Which Kinda Sucks...pun intended. But in all hopeful seriousness you've got all the tools you need to make Both a Werewolf and a Vampire and any chance to create something you can monetize directly without having to pay a license fee would be most beneficial for the games future anyways. And I want DBD's continued success and growth, because now the Game Niche you've got has Competition in games like the Predator and the new Evil Dead game. Predator was OK but lacked content and very few maps and characters. Having another Team making a 4 V 4 V 1 was Cool but short lived. The Evil Dead game is Great...it really is but it has One Flaw to it. Like the Friday the 13th game it can ONLY BE ITSELF. Whereas DBD Can Have Those Characters if Licensed like the Several DBD already has. If DBD were to License the Evil Dead as DBD Already Has ASH...then the Evil Dead game would be in Real Trouble because...that game itself is ONE MAP and One Villain that can grow and control a limited number of AI enemies/Deadites....That's EQUIVALENT to One Map and Killer out of the MANY of Both in DBD. In F13 its Jason vs up to X number of players...while it Can be More than 1V4 certainly its STILL all One Map in Crystal Lake and Just JASON..and all his iterations to choose from. DBD is the Greater Gane for Replayability while the others are just Flashes in the pan, Temporary Popularity with a Quick Drop Off before falling out of play simply because of Lack of Content Beyond the BARRIERS of their Own Franchise. So Please consider a Werewolf and/or a Vampire, Original Takes and Work to Make them SCARY...have them Fit the Silhouette but in the Light and Up Close...HORRIFYINGLY MONSTROUS is what they need to be. The Feared, the Unseen until the Last Moment TEETH in the DARK is what they are. They Should Not be Attractive or Beautiful...their silhouettes at a Distance...Yes absolutely, but at Medium to Close range they should be HORRIFYING to Hear and Behold. Werewolf should be in a Full Moon lit map, where the Main light source in Open to the Sky Spaces is the ONLY light source making the Interiors and SHADOWS OUTSIDE Very DARK by Contrast. The Werewolf's Footsteps should always be Soft and Paddingly QUIET unless Charging or Leaping at a Survivor like the Demogorgon. Make Sprint Bursts Dangerous and LOUD but HARD to Control like the other killers who can do the same. Make the Werewolf HOWL a Trait Skill Effect, Werewolf Vision perhaps like demonstrated in some movies, Best example for This here would be the Wolf Vision Camera POV in the film WOLFEN, easily replicated for DBD. For a Vampire it Has to be whichever Final Design draws the Most HORROR and DISGUST be it a Male or female Vampire. In the Design is where Subverting Expectations a bit Works Really well. Both creature types have very stereotypically Established looks that come to mind and Most shows and films Follow those stereotypes more than the more Inhuman types from say The STRAIN for instance where the Vampirism Drastically Alters a person into a Considerably Less desirable Looking and Monstrous form while maintaining that Beauty of FORM when Afar and Still. Anyways Keep up the Great work! The Dredge is a Fantastic Monster and it Really compelled me to make these suggestions as I Believe DBD and its Artists could totally Pull it off. Totally Not knocking your Licenses at all as I Love playing those characters, I just recognize that DBD makes More per Dollar on its Original characters. But IF you were to License either a Werewolf or a Vampire then I'd Go with the Werewolf and make it either An American Werewolf in London OR the low budget but still quite Good.. HOWL.

[@great-demon-goki]

This chapter is for me one of the best, I hope it will ever be NERF, and something else if the next chapter is of course resident evil and it's Albert wesker, many thanks in advance for not not get us out shit nerfed we want to see speed and guns and as long as you redo the nemesis because it's ridiculous started with his true size and redo his power with the tentacle and the ability to run and his speed of displacement that increases over the virus and that it works from the base and not court, do everything like in Resident evil 3 at the nightmare level there you will understand what I am talking about and what hell it is to survive, the goal of a game it's fun and level by the rage to play against campers because if it exists it's because most of your killers are ridiculously weak and it's fun, and as soon as there has a strong point for a killer you nerf it so i really hope this killer doesn't get nerfed and future dlc stays ident evil will live up to the lisence and that Nemesis will be redone thank you, listen to the fans without us you are nothing and you will not have all this money, so we have no right to expect a lot from you and get us out of badass killers and realism especially when it comes to a super tough licensed killer like the nemesis

[@basaltcrust1915]

Very cool, ive been thinking of a chapter where a killer can go into lockers for a while, thinking of ideas for stuff is fun, i was thinking more of a stealth killer, with little to no indication that theyre in the locker because its a stealth killer and if you have a brain youd be like "oh its the guy who hides in lockers, lemme not go back to that gen i was just chased off of, the one where the killer immediately broke chase afterwards" but that would be bad for new players, not knowing what the killer can do would be an issue. But hey the teleportation on dredge can give the affect that he was in there all along (but not really) and that would be spooky, which is why the new aura perk is probably pretty good for dredge, at least on paper because think of every gen you know of in the game, isnt there almost always a locker almost right next to it? But what ive seen from videos you almost never see survivors on gens, although most people are making videos about the killer, not exactly its perks so they'll usually forget to use that perk, randomly opening lockers isnt something youd normally do otherwise

[@kirbymaster7268]

I miss the narrator for these chapters! They are awesome at selling both the creepiness of both the location and the monster while also being very informative of the new gameplay elements per chapter!

[@red_revenant770]

This is the first killer to have a very compatible perk in gameplay and lore at the same time. But I wish they could decrease the bright white auras in survivors because it's too survivor sided, you can communicate visually and this is very useful in end game for a survivor.

[@adriend.751]

I think the nightfall is cool now and don't deserved change, the nightfall happened a lot in 1 game and it's can be very annoying for survivor to just "never see" the game so I think let surv with white aura is not so bad (ans swf already can talk so they are not very impact by the white aura but for solo q it's nice)
