Our recommendation
Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer horror game developed by Behaviour Interactive. It puts a lone player, dubbed The Killer, against four people representing normal humans, dubbed the Survivors.
Survivors want to avoid the Killer, power up the generators to open the doors and escape at all costs. The Killer’s objective is to, well, kill all the survivors. There are a few types of killers to choose from, and each has its own advantages. The survivors can employ various tactics to slow the killer or divert him.
The game is very tense - particularly when you're the last survivors, the game makes your blood pump, frantically loading up a generator in the hope the killer doesn't find you first and then running to the doors. The game also has a neat tactical element to it, where the survivors can feign or divert the killer in various ways in order to not Survivors, and it becomes a sort of cat and mouse fight. The game generally suffers from a lack of polish, which is improved upon with various patches and is generally better than at release.
The Halloween Chapter DLC adds a new killer in the form of Michael Myers, a man with a machete behind a mask, a new survivor called Laurie Strode, and a new map, called Haddonfield.
The Spark of Madness Chapter DLC is themed around crazy doctors and haywire human experiments. It includes a new killer called The Doctor, who uses electricity as his weapon, a new Survivor called Feng Min and a new map, called Léry Memorial Institute.
The Leatherface DLC adds the Leatherface killer, who is basically a giant man with a giant chainsaw frantically killing everyone. It is one of the most common horror themes, and the killer's theme is centered around that.
A Nightmare on Elm Street includes a killer named Freddy Krueger, famously focused on haunting your dreams and having scissors on his fingers, a new survivor called Quentin, and a new map called Badham Preschool.
If you saw the Saw movie(no pun intended), you will be familiar with this chapter's theme. The killer is The Pig, the survivor called David Tapp and the map is the Gideon Meat Plant.
Were you ever afraid of clowns? The Curtain Call DLC will certainly reinvigorate that, as it adds a new killer, called The Clown, able to intoxicate survivors with hallucinogenic concoctions. Also adds a survivor named Kate Denson, and a map called Campbell's Chapel.
The Shattered Bloodline Chapter adds a new Killer called the Spirit, who is a sort-of banshee that can leave the mortal plane for short moments and be invisible and very fast. Also adds a new survivor, called Adam Francis, and a new map The Yamaoka Estate, a haunted residence.
This encompasses the 80's Suitcase DLC, The Bloodstained Sack DLC, the Headcase DLC, and the Charity Case DLC. They all add various items you can put on your survivors to enhance your in-game immersion.

Key resellers are sites that sell game keys at (usually) much lower prices than traditional retailers. They do this through a combination of ways, like selling keys that come in a bundle, that were on a sale and many other ways.
The reason why we separated them from traditional retailers is that these stores have been the subject of a divisive discussion for a long time.
The reason we include them is that you can buy keys on these sites usually for very big discounts, sometimes quite ridiculously cheap. In 99 % of cases, they will work the same as a much more expensive key would. For many people, especially people from countries with lower standards of living, this can mean big savings that have a significant impact on their life, while also playing the game and not resorting to piracy.
If you are buying on these stores, we have a few recommendations to follow:
