Released after the8th Anniversary Stream, What the Fog: Dead by Daylight is a roguelite set in the same world as the horror-themed, asymmetrical multiplayer game.
However, there is still plenty of confusion around how the gamefits into the universe, as well as how to get a copy for free from the devs themselves.
What is ‘What the Fog?’
What the Fog is a spinoff of sorts fromDead by Daylight. It sees the characters of Dwight, Claudette, and Feng sucked into a cursed board game, where they must collect blood points to fix generators and escape.
They accomplish this by defeating swarms of enemies that relentlessly attack using a variety of weapons. Progressing through the levels will unlock more weapons and new monster variants.
Players progress through nine dungeons and three different bosses spread across eight different difficulty levels.
The game itself is two-player co-op, and features a much more cartoonish art style than the realistic aesthetic of Dead by Daylight. Each player can choose from the three main characters. When their character of choice is defeated, the game restarts from level one.
An important thing to note is that players are hooked when their health runs out, and can be revived by their teammate if they come to unhook them. However, if a player isn’t saved, they can still help from the afterlife by using special abilities.
Currently, Behaviour Interactive is offering a free copy of the game for anyone with an account, or for anyone who creates an account. This process is confusing some Dead by Daylight fans, so here’s out it works:
In total, Behaviour Interactive is handing out 2 million copies of the game, after which point, everyone will have to purchase What the Fog on Steam.
For those players, as well as anyone who doesn’t want to create a new account on another website, What the Fog isavailable for $4.99.
