13) Dead by Daylight

Gameplay trailer

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical (4vs1) horror game from Behaviour / Starbreeze studios. You can play as a survivor where it’s your job to escape the map by either restoring power to the generators or by finding a back door out. Or, you can play as a killer.

The killer’s main objective is simple: stop the survivors. The driving force behind the killer is an “entity” that wants the survivors hunted down and sacrificed before they can escape. All the killer has to do is patrol the area to find the survivors. Once a survivor has been injured and caught they are hung on a sacrificial meat hook to later be devoured.

Reminiscent of Cabin in the Woods, this game borrows from everything that came before. You can play as Leatherface or Freddy or one of their original characters. Gameplay is fast paced, gruesome, and challenging. The survivors have to work as a team. The puzzles are designed to trip you up and slow you down. While you trip around in the dark looking for generators (your team will start with one more generator than survivor. So, for example, if you have 3 survivors, your team has to activate 4 generators.) If you’re caught, the killer will carry you over to one of the sacrificial hooks.

Fellow survivors can come to your aid but you cannot save yourself.

Dead by Daylight includes some fun easter eggs like the puppet from the Saw franchise. 

It is the killer's job to hang each victim from a hook as a sacrifice to the entity.
