Remember: never walk in the woods at night... Coming soon to a podcast player near you: Read by Daylight. The podcast you're ttechnically listening to right now because of the trailer. Hi. Subscribe here and you'll get the real episodes.
Let the game begin. Welcome to a sort of Episode Zero situation in which Caro, Cole, and Gavin sit down to talk about the video game Dead by Daylight. Never played the game before? This might be a good first episode. Played a lot of it yourself or have watched a streamer play a few hours? You might be good to skip the bits where we talk about mechanics. Welcome to the Trials.

She'd like to axe you a question. The Huntress. The first ranged killer in DBD, this probably-Russian badass runs around the map humming a lullaby about wolves stealing children in the night and throwing axes at people. She's a tough character to top, so much so she jumped in front of three other killers on a show covering killers in the order they were released. Dead by Daylight has some great lore. Anna is an example of that and a great place to kick off our horror-filled journey. Hope you're not eating by the time we talk about her kid-raising tactics.

Evan's Got Issues. He's on the box art, he's the face of Dead by Daylight, which begs the question: why is Dollar Tree Jason Vorhees the character Behaviour sold the game with? Why does he have all that metal sticking out of him? Why is he burned? Why are bear traps such a huge part of his design? Spoiler alert: the answers are either unsatisfactory or don't exist. Everything about Trapper that isn't gameplay-based is BAFFLING. Find Caroline on Twitter @SaucyMincks Find Gavin at @GavGaddis or @GavinGWhiz Do not find Cole.

The game's answer to Michael Myers, only for them to actually license Michael Myers several months later. What's Philip's backstory? Is it at all problematic?
