Dead By Daylight #40
Description
The Entity, a supernatural being hailing from the ancient blood web, is awakened from its slumber and summoned by actions of great violence and malice. The killers, mostly serial murderers, or victims of terrible tragedy, are pulled out of reality by it and convinced or forced to do its bidding. In order to maintain its existence, the Entity requires sacrifices, and demands that they hunt and kill the survivors so it can feed off their hope and steal a piece of their souls upon death. In order to continue this hunt, The Entity blocks off the Gateways of death and puts the dead into a dreamlike state that leads the survivors back to The Entity's world to get hunted again. The survivors are pulled into the Entity's constructed world when they wander too close to the places the killers were taken from, disappearing from the real world without a trace.
Dead By Daylight is a video game with a surprising amount of lore under the surface that serves as a neat little hub for a couple of significant horror franchises. Unsurprisingly, we're dealing with entities being tugged in from their respective realities, so this is pretty clearly a Beta event. Nevertheless, it's a welcome addition to the roadmap!
