Discussions about the Entity's realm

Whos the biggest stoner and can they get weed?
the way i see it this we can break this down into 3 categories, Straight edge, maybe, and stoner. I will be looking through everybody and placing them where i think they go. But also, bill has cigarettes. I think David does too. SO if they get that, weed must be a possibility unless the entity is an ######### STRAIGHT EDGE…
Archie Macmillan loved or hated by son?
It says that Evan had admired his father (Archie Macmillan) but then later he is left/found in a basement? I thought Evan and his dad were best buds.. 👉👈 Also is it a theory that the in game lore displayed for players to read while waiting for a lobby to join is not to be trusted because its actually the Entity relaying…
Have survivors and killers ever tried to escape from the entity's realm?
Imagine it, did you ever think if some survivor tried to escape as if he were a victim of saw or if some killer also tried to escape, the entity would punish him brutally? I mean, I don't know if the survivors have memories while they spend their days at the campfire or is it an infinite loop and the only ones who remember…
New Lore Continuation from Chapters 17-21?
I noticed the Lore for Élodie involved the same lab on Dyer Island that was included in Felix’s Lore, with the exception of Élodie noticing something different than Felix did in the lab. Do you think we will get the other 3 “Pariahs” as the next three survivors (that will each see something different in the lab that will…
Wich survivor describes you the most?
For me it's nea cuz I'm the stealthiest person you'll ever meet.(IRL) And jeff cuz I'm into heavy music. What about u?
Entity traverses time.
So can we all agree based on who the entity grabs and creature that it somehow has the power to grab people from different times and or different realities bc even without the licensed chapters it was already doing it like with huntress who from her tome is most likely around a world war or something and hag is more modern…
How do you think elodie interacts with the others
I think she would be a bite distante from the others outside of trials. However i think in trials she would be an alturisic teammate. I also think she would have a grudge against felix for giving up on finding there parents. Your thoughts?
Does the Entity turn people evil? Can the entity shapeshift into things?
This might be a self-explanatory question and you're probably thinking I'm an idiot right now, but I wanted to talk about this a little bit more in depth because it's interesting. In Plague's backstory, it mentions that she was a priestess and she cared very deeply about her people. But the part that interested me the most…
Sanitus Alionis
A lot of interesting things came from this section of the Tome, but the most interesting part in my opinion comes from the Observer himself. I think it's safe to say that he's going a bit crazy, but it seems to me that he might actually be losing it completely. He lost recollection of several days, only to find a pile of…
Why don't survivors kill themselves every game?
So, after being on a few trials and seeing they're just trapped there no matter how much they try to escape, why don't they just give up and suicide every single trial? Also, considering the Entity feeds on hope, how does it keeps survivors from losing all hope after they succesfully escape matches but still go the camp?
Anyone else unhappy with the 'entity cult' thing?
So, from what i understood there's some cult thingy aware/worshipping/whatever the Entity in each reality survivors are taken from, did I get that correct? Am I the only one who thinks that makes the lore less interesting? It feels like it takes the suspense/danger out of a situation for me.
Which killers are actually dead?
There’s the obvious ones like Spirit and Oni. I’m assuming Nurse is also deceased. Anyone know who all the dead killers are?
What are your favourite headcanons?
Let's be real, everyone has them. So, when looking at survivors/killers/maps, what are your headcanons? One of mine, for example, is that the room you can enter from inside the saloon is Caleb's.
What do you think happend to jeff when he went up to mount ormaind?
I know he was taken by the entity but what was the context? Like when kate got taken we see how so how about jeff?
Theory about the Entity
The Overseer is the Entity, he just doesn't know it. That's why he feels so compelled to see the memories of survivors, almost as if a certain hunger was compelling him to do for the sake of his survival.
Is Victor in the entity's realm really Victor?
I just read the Twin's lore and I was shocked that Victor actually died long before Charlotte entered the realm. In the lore itself it mentions how Victor suddenly comes back to life just before Charlotte entered into the fog but he appears to be rabid and animal like. What do you think? Is Victor in the entity's realm…
Theory: Survivor/Killers aren't "Real", they're abstractions made by the Entity
You know how in a dream, you see someone you know, but of course they aren't actually them, they're merely your mind's representation of them? I think that's what it's like for the Entity. The Survivors and Killers are not truly present in some strange dimension: nobody's soul that has been taken. The characters we play as…
Discussion about Charlotte
Alright....so is she Undead???....like...Victor is LITERALLY inside of her upper torso....and her eyes are Grey (Could be Cataracts but still) So what is she if she isn't undead? There is NO way she can be alive with Victor inside her like that.
Ghostface easter egg
On the newly reworked Azarov's Resting Place map, if you go into the office and take a closer look at the certificate on the wall, you can see that it is signed by Danny Johnson, which is Ghostface's real name. Pretty interesting detail. It's kinda hard to read though.
Could Vigo be from the 19th century?
In The Hallowed Blight tome entries Talbot says that the abandoned workshop (presumably belonging to Vigo) is filled with "protective clothes". Many survivors have ransacked Vigo's workshop, and found clothing that looks Victorian. We know from Arcus 632 that Vigo is able to create things like the Observer. So it would…
What if The Killers of DbD appeared where they were abducted in 2020?
This is just going to be a little thought discussion on what would happen if killers were sent back where they weee abducted in 2020. What I think will spice it up, though, is if the killers still had their powers. For creativities sake, I won’t have them bounded by the game mechanics in DbD. I’ll edit this killer by…
Is True Blight another version of Talbot Grimes?
(Just to deviate from the bugs and balance posts on here) I've been thinking about it recently, in the Halloween archives we had this year, it showed Talbot as normal. Despite him having transformed into the default blight before that point. Plus during the animation he goes straight from normal, to the True Blight.…
What did felix steel from vigos lab?
In one of felixes cosmatics, it said that he ran sacked vigos workshop. So what was that he stool?
The lore of this game is so intricate and cool! I hope the game is as good as it
Sorry, it isn’t Everything I hate about Dead by daylight, let’s see, I paid $27 to get, one survivor with an extra shirt, two of her cosmetics, a killer, and a onesie. Four things for $27, buying a game pack for the sims 4 gets you like 20 garbage things but hey at least it’s priced a LITTLE bit better than this #########.…
Spring trap as a killer
Hi DBD team! I really think you should look into this it is a new killer called springtrap from five nights at Freddy's and he has a map from five nights at Freddy's 3 and his backstory is that five kids mysteriously died by these animatronics and went missing but what people didn't knew is that the kids that died were…
How Killers and Survivors View "Licenses"
So just like how we see characters like Demogorgon, Laurie Strode, Pig, Michael Myers, Bill, Steve, etc as licensed characters from movies, tv shows, and other games, is it possible that the various killers and survivors within the fog view each other the same? Like is there a chance that maybe Quentin Smith saw a movie…
Key Hunting- Custom KYF Gamemode
This is a gamemode I play with my friends a lot, so I thought I'd share it. If an option is Bold, it must be selected by at least one player on the respective team. Otherwise, the item is recommended but not required. Check with the other players/host before you select other options. Survivor Items & Add-Ons: NO ITEMS…
Is Charlotte being deceived?
After reading the back story of the twins, I started thinking of a little theory. That also answers if victor is a midget or baby. So in the story Charlotte and Victor's mother die and they watch her and are sent to some weird school or church? (if you know please tell me). When in there they basically get tortured and are…
Possible movie tie in, or sheer coincidence
Ok, hear me out. In the not so good movie Freddy vs Jason, an outside entity had brought the two together to kill. What if theoretically, that entity is our entity, and it was a test to see who he rarhered to join him, and Jason lost. Jason was too boring for the entity. Is this what happened, no. I know that, but at the…

Killer and Survivor Interactions with each other in the fog
@Mikeadatrix and @Detective_Jonathan both did something cool in two different Lore Discussions. I got some inspiration to do a thing of my own, as you can read in the title. Now I know the general interaction is: Killer: Come here [name here], I just wanna kill you! Survivor: No! Eat pallet! But what if there was…

What if the Entity's realm is a twisted version of heavan?
So how can a place of endless torment and agony be heaven? Ok so hear me out, and this may also explain why survivors don't gear up despite the abundance of improvised weapons and numbers advantage. They like it. The entity picks people who are addicted to the thrill of being hunted, addicted to the fight or flight…
Power Struggle is a burn towards Felix
From Felix's Backstory: "With time their efforts dwindled, and the five friends slowly grew apart, each going their separate ways." From Élodie's Backstory: "The Pariahs were long gone. She'd alienated them with her theories." Now Power Struggle's Quote: "I relied on others to protect me once and I lost everything. Never…
What happens to killers after a failed trial?
So when survivors die they are either sacrificed or get a mori, but what happens to a killer if all survivors escape?
Can the survivors defeat the killer?
Obviously the killer cannot be defeated in-game due to game limitations, but from a lore perspective, would the survivors actually be able to defeat the killer? If so, what exactly would happen if they did so?
Idea About Legion and Twins
I have seen a lot of conflicting arguments about the ages of the Legion members (mostly Susie and Joey) and Victor from the Twins. The devs have said that all characters within the game are 21 years or older. I have also noticed in lore that other characters seem younger than 21. My idea is that once the survivors and…

Dyer island may be based on a real island and its history
As an Indian myself, I found that the story of Dyer island sounded very familiar. However, there is no such island near India. So, I did some research. There is a real dyer island in Gaansbai South Africa, however, it is not the Dyer island the Blight's lore refers to. The real Dyer island in Gaansbai is a nature…
After reading Billy's New Lore...
I feel super bad for him, even more than before. Reading the brutal descriptions of his retribution was satisfying... I also didn't know he could speak.

there will be two survivors since there not really much killers idea in dead rising. new survivor is called Frank west bio: When Frank west found out this place and what going on he was going to check and spread the facts of what going on and who started it. When He saw this doctor he started asking him who was the start…
friday the 13th possible dlc
if this Dlc come into dead by daylight then here is my idea of Friday the 13th idea new killer is called Jason bio: When he was a child he was in camp crystal lake while his mother works in the kitchen for the camp counselors. Then these other children put a sack on him then made him drop in the ocean/pond and they let…
Between trials
Do the survivors get to rest? Eat? Heal up? Maybe take a shower so they don't stink? Do they get to sleep? Or is it just some sort of never ending hell dimension where all you do is survive and then move onto the next trial without getting a break or a meal? What do the killers do between trials. There's that one perk that…
Are some of the archive's from another time/Universe?
The hag/ Lisa Sherwoods lore says she grew up in a village away from civilisation. But then why did Lisa go to school in her archive? Is it a different universe where she grew up with a civilisation? I don't get it so just tell me if you know.
When does Talbot Grimes transform into The Blight?
From tome 1's The Hunger cinematic, we see Talbot Grimes inject himself in the middle of the woods, presumably turning into The Blight. But in the chapter 17 teaser trailer we see Talbot inject himself in front of Father Campbell's chapel, presumably turning into The Blight there. But then in the official chapter 17…
The Weird Entity Language
Have there been any developments on it? Y'know, the descriptions on the first 4 Killers' weapons.

Noticed something neat about Oni’s Mori
So I was watching a video on Jigoku, kind of like Japanese Buddhist Hell. Anyway, in one of the hells (different crimes have different hells), liars have their tounge ripped out of their mouth, which then regenerates. Sound familiar? Oni killed liars (false samurai) and ripped out their tongue. Lovely attention to detail
More Lore
I feel like the Archives are a really cool feature, but I wish there was more ways to get lore than their backstory and the Archives, maybe the daily rituals could unlock more lore to do them not just for bloodpoints
