I’ll be honest, GTFO isn’t really that spooky. If you’ve long wanted to see the dark side of your mates, or chase them around with an axe, get your talons on Dead by Daylight! In a stunning crossover feat, it even brings the feuding survival horror giants Silent Hill and Resident Evil together as you’re able to play as Resi 3’s groaning Nemesis or the creepy cleaver-wielding pyramid head. Then, of course, it’s the turn of one of your buddies to play as the monster, and I guarantee it’ll being out the cackling dark side of even the most quiet and unassuming of your friends as they get their revenge!
There’s nothing quite as satisfying as taunting your friends with singsong lullabies over voice chat as you draw them into Freddy’s nightmare world or hack them into pieces as Jason. What’s really a wicked thrill though is when you get to play the monster yourself. This game definitely taught me to empathize with the plight of hapless horror movie heroes as I’d panic from seeing a monster and run from my hiding place early or dash foolishly into a deviously placed beartrap laid by the killer earlier. You have to work together with your friends to avoid the killer and open the exit to whatever locale you’re trapped in and escape. You’ll need to use your terrain well to vault through windows or push over obstacles behind you as you flee from your foe. As one of four youthful “survivors”, you have to escape the clutches of a horror movie killer. In Dead by Daylight you finally get to find out for yourself. When yelling at them not to foolishly run up those stairs or hide in that closet, you can’t help but think of how you’d handle the situation better.
