Read by Daylight

Have you tried NOT tempting fate? Lisa Sherwood, a woman named after a famous forest who gets turned into a tree-cannibal. A character so loosely-written they had to retroactively add more lore just to make it more clear as to why the Entity considered her a killer and took her in the first place. Stay through to the end for a full-throated smutty book series recommendation from Cole that has noth...

Big daddy head tilt is here. It's time to talk about the first copyrighted killer to enter the Entity's clutches. This one gets a little saucy, a little pro-Myers, and Gavin introduces a bit for every time they say the wrong person with the same name as Michael Myers.

The Nurse She could've been so cool, yet she ends up so frustrating. Join us on the adventure of picking through the wreckage that is Sally Smithson's lore, as well as attempting to convince Caro she gets kinda cool from a gameplay perspective.

Which Rich Farmers Go Bad The Hillbilly. None of his lore really establishes any sense of location or culture that would make him a hillbilly, yet we're calling him that anyway. This is a rough one, folks. Both from the ableism and the fact that the character's rocking some stolen southern valor. Everyone's accents get real thick by the end of this.

He ALWAYS skips leg day. Wraith. One of the original three killers to launch with Dead by Daylight. The game's answer to Michael Myers, only for them to actually license Michael Myers several months later. What's Philip's backstory? Is it at all problematic? Did the predominantly white Canadian developer do a good job of writing their first POC character back in 2016? Let's find out. Find Caroline...

Evan's Got Issues. He's on the box art, he's the face of Dead by Daylight, which begs the question: why is Dollar Tree Jason Vorhees the character Behaviour sold the game with? Why does he have all that metal sticking out of him? Why is he burned? Why are bear traps such a huge part of his design? Spoiler alert: the answers are either unsatisfactory or don't exist. Everything about Trapper that is...

She'd like to axe you a question. The Huntress. The first ranged killer in DBD, this probably-Russian badass runs around the map humming a lullaby about wolves stealing children in the night and throwing axes at people. She's a tough character to top, so much so she jumped in front of three other killers on a show covering killers in the order they were released. Dead by Daylight has some great lo...

Let the game begin. Welcome to a sort of Episode Zero situation in which Caro, Cole, and Gavin sit down to talk about the video game Dead by Daylight. Never played the game before? This might be a good first episode. Played a lot of it yourself or have watched a streamer play a few hours? You might be good to skip the bits where we talk about mechanics. Welcome to the Trials.
