Dead by daylight

Dead by Daylight is a survival horror multiplayer game that uses the first-person view (for the killer) and the third-person view (for the survivors). A group of survivors from one to four people appears in the location at night. Their goal is to find and turn on from two to five (depending on the number of survivors) generators and then escape from the map (through one of the two gates or through the hatch that opens if the victim remains alone. The other killer player must find and kill all survivors by hanging on a hook or with your own hands (if you take the Memento mori offering). When the killer approaches the survivor, the victim hears a heartbeat and a frightening melody (the maniac does not hear them). The closer the enemy, the faster the survivor’s heart beats, which Yes There is a chance for the latter to escape or hide. Survivors can use some tricks, such as dark places, closets, narrow openings, as well as various objects and skills, so as not to get caught by the killer. During the chase, the victim can overturn the barricades through which the killer must evade, or break them. The killer, in turn, sees an explosion through the entire map from an unsuccessful generator repair, a trap (if the killer is a Hunter), a phantom trap (if the killer is a Witch), the survivor is removed from the hook, the place where you survive your latch broke a hook, quick jumps through windows and barriers, capsizing wooden barricades, quick jumps into lockers and cases with a failure to check the reaction. Both the killer and the survivors see the whole map where the generator was repaired, where the caught survivor hangs on the hook, where the wounded survivor lies (the killer sees him only if he has the skill “Deer Hunter”, also if the killer has a special skill , reducing the radius of the display of the lying survivor, the survivors will not be able to see it) where food was served to open the gate. Survivors can remove each other from the hooks, neutralize and break traps and hooks (with the “Crusher” skill or toolbox), burn phantom traps with a flashlight, remove the victim from the traps, treat the wounded without a first aid kit, and either with a first aid kit or with using the skill "Doctor himself" without a first aid kit.

Characters are pumped in a blood web ( English Bloodweb ), spending blood points (similar to experience points) to obtain items, upgrades and one-time offerings. There are 5 types of rarities, upgrades, offerings, and skills - ordinary, unusual, rare, very rare, ultra rare, and learnable. The quality "Teachable" belongs only to Skills.

Starting at level 10, an entity appears in the bloody web - a creature that takes the sacrifices of killers (the limbs that pierce the victim on a hook), it eats some nodes of items / improvements / offerings and skills before the player gets them . This fact can be used by the player to accelerate the acquisition of new levels.

Beginning at level 30, trained skills appear in the bloody web. If you buy such a skill, then it will be available to the rest of the characters (in their own bloody web).

All items use part of their charge when used. If the survivor spent the item in the match or died, then the item disappears. Improvements disappear with the item. Offerings can only be used once and disappear in any case.

The item found by the survivor during the match in the chest and not used to the end, or the item taken by the survivor at the beginning of the match and not used until the end, will be returned to him with all the improvements he took with him at the beginning of the match or found with the item in the chest.
