Is there another eldritch beast interfering with the trials besides the Entity?
A lot of the things that at first glance should be gameplay mechanics have their lore in-universe. Just not things like disconnects and hatches and their keys. maybe even moris. Is there another eldritch being meddling into the Entity's affairs that provides this? Is it in lack of a better word benevolent to the survivors?…

Preteen Survivors / Killers?
I know people might think kids in DBD might sound extreme, and it sort of is, but would it be such a bad idea to add preteens as killers and survivors. I was thinking around the ages of the kids from Stranger Things like in Season 3. I think in Season 3 they were around the ages of 13-15. So maybe licensed or original…

Adiris is not the real killer
She is simply a vessel for the real killer, the Plague. Adiris herself is not the killer, otherwise she would be titled 'the Priestess' or 'the Devotee'. Really, she doesn't even have a weapon, it's just a censer dangling by a chain. It's the Plague that she's host to that weakens and incapacitates the survivors to the…

Who is the man in the rift?
The rift or the archives. You know, the guy sitting in the chair. Just curious to see what the lore behind him is, I couldn't find anything on it.

Why is Adiris the Plague a Killer?
She never killed a single person according to her backstory, and only did what was best for her people. One could argue that she caused more happiness and joy than harm. The Entity has always chosen killers who have murdered before in the past, so why did it choose her? I know that she prayed to a god to answer her, but…

Wraith lore and design
Is it just me or the waith design does not seem very consistent with his lore? I mean, as far as we know he probably came from Africa, much of his appearance and his add ons reflect that, and don't get me wrong, I love his looks, but I always think of how much he seens odd for his realm and everything seems very random.…

What if every killer was once a survivor ?
Trapper hates hooks and has hook marks in his back. It got me thinking that what if every killer was once a strong survivor that eventually went crazy and was offered a release by The Entity ? They saw that killing was a way to educate survivors. Entity reminds me of Jigsaw and Trials reminds me of Jigsaw's Games. What if…
-
I think some Killers help some survivors escape at times because...
Perhaps they don't trust or agree with the entity and want to help the survivors. I mean they are essentially the ones who do all of the entities dirty work so it would make sense.

No one likes david
The devs described david as an ######### in a stream once so it makes me wonder what other survivors think of him his perks show he wants to help but maybe he just comes off as a little too aggressive. Do you guys have any head canons about this i like to think he wants to help but he comes of as aggressive making…

Will we ever get to battle the entity.
I think this would really sound great if we actually all got to battle the entity. "The giant tentacle monster" from the sky that whisks away our bodies, and get OUT of the trial once and for all.... Every story has an end, or does it?

The issue around how DbD's lore is told
This is a great video to explain the differences between how DbD's story is being told now and how it could have been told (i.e. before things like the archives and before Kate's introduction into the game etc.) DbD's story is falling into the Hard World building category, and not in a good way imo. I used to be interested…

How to play with a friend as an assassins

Survivors killing killers?
Through out the time spent here in the realm and constantly being tortured by the entity and its servants/killers, why hasn’t the survivor try to rebel against the killers, why hasn’t the survivor gain the courage to kill a killer?

Confusion with Archive Outfits
This may be very unimportant and dumb to ask about, but there is something I’ve been wondering about some lore outfits from the Archives.

What original characters fit into licensed stories?
With the next chapter confirmed to be licensed once again we the community are only just starting to run up the speculation cycle once more, about who could possibly make it into Dead By Daylight's amalgamation of horror.

Is Nea from the near future?
A recent skin in the shop was released going by the names of Graff-Crafter. According to the picture that was released from the skin, she's from 2021 (presuming November 3rd but it may be March 11th). Does this mean Nea was taken from the future, or am I completely wrong?

The Nurse has PTSD or Schizophrenia? (Explain your opinion in detail please)

Pyramid Head and The Entity
Ok so I know this is a bit out there, and this is the first time I've mad a theory like this so please don't shoot me down too hard. But from what I've gathered when it comes to the Entity, as powerful as he is, he isn't omnipotent, he only controls those within his pocket dimension, however he is meant to have total…

Survivor’s and Killer’s Time Period
I’ve seen a couple of forum posts about this, but those were from 2018. The purpose of this post is that I want to establish a time period of when the original characters came to the entity’s realm. I have a pretty good idea of 3, those being Deathslinger, Oni, and Plague. Deathslinger certainly seems to have been taken…

Auric Cells and Killers
Looking to some of the entries of the tomes, I found a small, perhaps a bit obvious discovery that shed some light on the workings of the Killers and their relationship with the Entity. As the tittle indicates, is about Auric Cells, the main component of the Entity and what allows it to manipulate and shape the world…

Giving up others hiding positions. wrong cat
Ive noticed this seems to be a rising problem in DBD, i unhooked someone in the basement and the killer started coming back so i hid in a locker. but instead of hiding or trying to escape the other survivor came over to the locker and started pointing me out getting me hooked, i didnt understand as i healed him as well.…

Improvement of lore
WHILE READING DBD LORE, ONE MIGHT THINK IT'S BLAND. BUT WHY? I'll be honest here, I know a good bit of Dbd lore, but not everything. I still feel confident and competent enough to talk about it and its current state. It might be bland, even boring, but why is that? I believe it is because the stories/bios are sort of…

What does the Plague say during her Mori Animation?
I was creating the Plague's page on the Portuguese DBD Wiki and was wondering what did the Plague actually say during her Mori Animation. So I gave a bit of an effort and ''figured out'' what she says. As the devs denied giving me any information, I'm not 100% convinced what I found is right. What I found is: Adda ni ka…

What does The Plague say during stuns?
Just curious, does anybody know what The Plague is saying when stunned? Or is it just gibberish? I know her mori is something like "drink from a 1,000 fountains" etc. but I don't know about the stuns. Babylonian swears maybe?

Lifeforms within the realm
So, we're obviously acquainted with the crows but... what about the rats? Anyone else spot more examples of The Entity creating other forms of life within her realm? What purpose do they serve? Can they be a food source for those trapped here? I doubt they're normal considering the eyes.

Who was taken in Kate's place?
So in the recent archives it's come to light Kate has scraped by with the Entity, and one of her cosmetics suggest that she didn't get out of that encounter. But under the assumption she kept going, who was taken in Kate's place? The entity needs hope, so what chapter happened in her place (not counting the original 4 or…

is The Spirit a fury?
This might seem like a really self-explanatory question but it got me interested and thinking.

A formulaic oath in the lliad invokes them as "the Erinyes, that under…

Chapter Concept: The Dying Light Chapter (Game crossover) Feedback Appreciated
The Dying Light Chapter Important side note: The Killer is actually based off of the playable "Night Hunter" from the "Be the zombie" mode, not the volatile enemy type. I call the killer The Volatile because I think it sounds like a cooler, more unique name than Night Hunter. Also, the appearance of The Volatile killer is…

The Entity and Other Deities
This latest Chapter has made me wonder about the ever-expanding influence The Entity has, and its daring intrusions - not only into other dimensions, but dimensions ruled by powerful, deity-like beings. The Stranger Things Chapter was the start, as The Entity delved into the world of The Mind Flayer, and now it's…
