I prepared a form in the form of a survey to check the popularity of Dead by Daylight among a group of people, the popularity of specific DLCs, and how the respondents evaluate the game mechanics and graphics. In short, it is a multiplayer action game based on classic horror themes such as "Nightmare on Elm Street", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" ) "or the popular series" Stranger Things ". 57 people aged 13+ answered my questionnaire, the majority of whom, because 40.4%, aged 16-18. Over 80% played Dead by Daylight and answered the next questions.

To the third question, "How long have you been playing DBD?" respondents answered that from a few weeks to even four years, more than half of which have add-ons to this game.
The game gained popularity very quickly not only due to the horror theme but also due to the mechanics of the game, where four ordinary mortals try to survive the clash with the murderer and his abilities. Potential victims are forced to cooperate with each other to survive, but that doesn't mean they should always consider the fate of their comrades. We can choose if we want to play as a team or if we want to escape even at the cost of sacrificing others. Or whether we want to murder and pursue our victims.
Thanks to additions to the game, we diversify it with new characters, their skills, and new maps. Most people who answered my survey consider the Stranger Things Chapter as the best addition, which adds two new escaping heroes, one murderer, and a new map to the basic gameplay.
 











The worst DLC to have had a similar number of votes were Ash vs Evil Dead and Chapter 19 All-Kill. In the first one, we get two characters, one murderer and one runaway. In this second expansion, we only get one character, escaping.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People appreciate additions to DBD, believe that the new variety is interesting and that thanks to it, the game is gaining popularity. Cooperation with various brands attracts fans, thanks to which the group of players grows. Most of the interviewees consider it a plus. Few people do not care about it, and two or three people believe that the creators of this game are losing out on such collaborations.

With the growing community of players, there are also situations that some do not like. Almost every respondent drew attention to unfair behavior, so-called campaigns, which in DBD consist in the fact that the murderer stands next to the survivor and does not allow other players to save him.

About half of people also pay attention to errors that result in incorrect operation of the program or game mechanics.
Here is an example answer that summarizes the respondent's anger when asked about the thing that is most annoying in Dead by Daylight:
“What bothers me most is the overwhelming bugs that affect virtually every aspect of the game. I am also irritated by people who take the game a little too seriously, or on the contrary - they only look at themselves and not at other players. I am also a bit annoyed by the attitude and politics of the creator - instead of fixing what is broken, they add new things (causing new bugs) and the occasional handing out of cosmetic codes, as if a new hair color or a new pin could make a difference. "

I also asked about the new interface as the first evaluations after this update came out were not very favorable. To my surprise, as many as 56% of people said it was pleasant. 14% of the respondents said it was terrible. The rest of the people had a neutral or indecisive attitude.
Finally, I asked two questions relating to who has the easier task in the game. To the first question, 66% of people answered that it was easier to win with a murderer, and 33% said that, after all, it was a survivor.

To the question "Are there any characters that are too 'op' and should be weakened, if so, please give me an example." there were no specific answers. Op, meaning too strong characters that can be won too easily, is, according to respondents, a murderer from the latest expansion, as well as 3 other murderers from earlier additions. The names of the murderers were most often presented, and only one person named a specific survivor.However, most of the answers to this question were unfounded.

A new expansion pack for Dead by Daylight is coming out soon, which will include a new map, two runaways, and a killer. The creators of the game do not slow down and encourage more and more players to try out the possibilities of this game. As we can learn from the survey I summarized in this document, the majority of respondents like to play DBD, despite technical problems and the often toxic community.
