What if Dead by daylight is actually real?
Ok so, i think there are all sorts of possibilities is this world. ''There can't be good without evil.'' And i 100% believe it. Sure it can't be just like the game.People aren't put on meat hooks and don't fix generators to power exit gates. But think about it. What if all those people who disappeared without a trace and…

Lore wise, why would the entity choose nancy and steve?
So the obvious reason for this is character popularity and they aren't children anymore in the show. BHVR wouldn't want to show or depict child murder. With that out of the way what would the lore reasoning be for the entity choosing someone like Nancy or Steve over someone like Eleven? Like seriously, the entity is…

What's up with all the cans?
Why are there so many cans lying around on so many maps in the game? Are they food cans? Did survivors eat them? Does that mean that survivors can die of starvation? Why do survivors throw so much trash away? Do they not have any concern for the environment? Were did they even find the cans if they ate them? Are they also…

Who is hotter?
This Myers skin? Or Dwight? I know it's a difficult question so if you need time to meditate or rethink the choice you made, I can't say j blame you for it. Though if you are ready, then let's proceed

Terra Primus Coins Discussion
Hey all, I think this discussion would fit pretty well in the Lore section as well as general, due to killer/survivor speculation. Have any lore focused inputs to share? https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/127611/primus-coins#latest

Killer Antagonist/Protagonist roles in a revolution against the Entity
In the event of an uprising of the killers in the event of a weakened Entity, where survivors and killers are free to roam the Fog, this is how I think the killers would act. The Observer would likely be a major player in this event, perhaps even the cause. Antagonist: Attacks killers and survivors alike, for their own…

Which killers do Jake and Claudette belong to?
After watching a video of each of the trailers I noticed that all the survivors had a killer except for Toxic and Camped, oh sorry Jake and Claudette. Dwight-Wraith Meg-Hillbilly Nea-Nurse David King-Huntress Ace-Hag Feng Min-Doctor Laurie-Michael David Tapp-Pig Quinten--Freddy Kate-Clown Jake-Trapper?? Claudette-Trapper??

Is Loretta Jane’s mother or not?
Having finished Jane’s archive last night I was disappointed to find out that this is still unanswered. So for anyone who’s read Jane’s lore, you know that she has some abandonment issues due to the absence of her mother, famous actress Loretta Lawrence. However later in her story after Jane launches her own talk show, she…

Were the devs inspired by Modernist Literature when writing Archive entries ?
I am currently studying English Literature in University, we recently discussed about Modernist Literature (20's to the 50's) and how authors were using interior monologues and free indirect speech to tell their stories. Basically, the narrator tells the story of a character, but using its vocabulary and describing its…

Will We Ever Get A Killer That Is The Spawn Of The Entity?
We see this theme a lot in the deeper lore of fantasy and horror films/books. For example, Shelob, the spider seen in TLOTR, is a spawn from a god type being that took the form of a spider and mated with a real spider, in order to produce offspring that possessed it's power, or variations of it (May have got that slightly…

Is this part of Entitys tricks?
On deathslingers lore it says: "At his feet, he saw a dusty path, and, at its end, silhouettes of all who had done him wrong: the boys who bullied him, the executives who took advantage of him, and, again... Henry Bayshore. Emerging from a fog were the tools to dispose of them — unforgiving steel hooks, brilliant and…

Missed story opportunity - Survivors becoming killers
Why as there been absolutely no attempt to explore this amazing concept? The whole premise of the game is killers sacrificing survivors to the entity, allowing it to feed off of the hope of survivors until they, themselves, become a killer. Yet there has nothing in-game or otherwise to suggest that this has ever happened.…

Lore Dive: Forgotten Killers
Overview: After revisiting a game that I played a little while ago, I noticed a subtle, yet noticeable detail included in the game. The game I revisited was Payday 2. In case you don’t already know, Payday 2 did some sort of collaboration with Dead by Daylight to promote both of their games back in 2016. Payday 2 created…

Parents issues
Just noticed that many killers and survivors share some conflicts with their parents. Those conflicts literally made them who they are now. Definetly can't argue that parents have SIGNIFICANT role in one's personal growth. But, well, Bhvr... maybe you overdo it... just a bit? Gonna go brief, cause it's a lot ground to…

It's been two years...
Two years. Two years since the entity speak things from the first year anniversary. I've seen no one come even close to finding a clue. The Hawkins easter eggs got solved in a fraction of that time. Is it solvable? Is there a key that can be pieced together at all?

Is there any wild life in the realm?
Other than the crows?I know we don't see any other animals which are not really real animals to begin with. Bu it's fun to speculate. Oh i also forgot that i also hear the sound of crickets at the lobby campfire.So we already have 2 animals.

David worked for Trapper's father
I've just unlocked the final chapter for Manchester Mash-up (Memories: David King) in the archives. In the end, David beats some guys who were taking orders from a man called "Uncle Brass", and than receives an offer to work for him. In the animation, we can see Uncle Brass' face, and... it's Archie MacMillan, The…

My theory about the yamaokas (long text that may acrescent nothing to your life)
iv finished the rin yamaoka archives mission today and seeing the little movie i can say WOW that gave me chills, very well done. Getting straight to the point at the end of the animation you see rin surrounded by 3 Samurais, and that gave me 2 theorys. The yamaokas power came from an entity deal or curse and the three…

Kazan and Rin use the same sword
As the title says, Kazan and Rin actually use the same weapon, taken from different time periods. I think this is super interesting, because even though we already know the Entity is outside of time, we haven't actually seen a 'paradox' like this until now. Rhombus design along hilt Hilt ends in a thick circle with two…

Where is Autohaven Wreckers actually located?
The Realms of Dead by Daylight all seem to have an irl location, for instance: Haddonfield, IL MacMillan Estate - near Seattle, WA Léry's Memorial Institute - Michaelstown, IL Springwood, OH Each one of these locations are implied either by the lore of the related Realm or by solid clues. However, there are two plausible…

Survivors and their time during the fog.
This is my own opinion of what happens to the survivor during the trails of their time. Basically go over how well they are towards other people, actions they normally take, and what they might become after being in the trails for so long. Dwight: Hesitate but attempts to be brave. Everyone knows him and respects him.…

What are some licensed killers that could fit into the lore well?
This is not a speculation to killers we will get, but one based upon which ones could fit. For me, the big two that come to mind are a little obscure, but Matt Cordell from the Maniac Cop franchise, and Victor Crowley from the Hatchet movies. Matt was a police officer who was tortured and presumed dead after being…

Bubba's The Beast's Marks add on
"Jagged marks cover the Chainsaw's body, punishment from the dark beast that lives in the Fog. Memories of violent reprimand fill its holder with the fear of failure." Proof of what the entity does to killer's when they displease it

Survivors being abducted in the middle of trials?
There have been a few instances, it seems, of survivors going from the real world straight into an ongoing trial in the realm of the Entity. Bill's cinematic shows him revived right beside an active generator as a killer comes around the corner, straight from where he died by a generator in the game. Nancy Wheeler and…

Is Sally's mind completely broken?
Is the Nurse's mind broken? Because when someone snaps it last some hours. I believe that the Nurse is trying to recover but the mist just won't let her. That's why imo she will be cooperative in a 2v8 situation with another killer. What do you think?

Why is the Plague a killer?
Seriously, here story allows for many an oppertunity to make her evil. For examples: maybe she made or spread the plague on purpose to gain rank quicker between the religious healers she was a student off. Maybe she grew angry with her inability to heal people so out of frustration she killed those that came for her aid.…

Is Ghostface based on real life serial killer, Danny Rolling?
To those who don't, Danny Rolling was a serial killer who killed five students in Gainesville, Florida. He also was the inspiration for Ghostface in scream. So what are the connections with BHVR's Ghostface? 1) Ghostface's real name (Danny Johnson) shares the same first name with Danny Rolling 2) BHVR removed the word…

The Entity Is A Host Body
Alright, so I've been thinking, of what the Entity is, and I can't help but see it's similarities with multi cell organisms.

The Entity is a Plant
The Entity is 100% plant, change my mind? The Entity is a perennial plant which blooms every October. It uses the hope from the survivors like fertilizer, it needs to take beings from different universes so it can keep growing. Spreading its roots throughout every existence to eventually take over, like a weed. So y’all…
