Claudette backstory praise
Honestly I really love how they handled Claudette 8th birthday. It was a massive load up it was just a Side Story they gave you a little bit more understanding who Claudette is. High points * Claudette's father being very understanding and trying to nurture what makes her special. * Claudette's mother eventually coming…

Yui's Backstory versus The Oni's Backstory
I am pretty disappointed with Yui's story and I am pretty impressed with Oni's backstory. Here's why: Yui as a character has no development or personality beyond the "strong independent woman" archetype and the idea of women's empowerment. Neither of these things are a bad thing to have as aspects of a character, but that…
-
Killer Favorite Songs?
Hypothetically, if the killers had a favorite song, soundtrack, melody, or tune; what would belong to each? Legion obviously some scraping Metal, Clown Maybe something with large air-instruments? I honestly picture the Trapper liking something soft or classical, but with distortions

Entity's Language
So its been basically confirmed the entity has a proper language. M. Cote has heard it out loud (probably whispers). If you've seen my last post here then you know my theory on certain things linked to whispers. (Im currently working on continuing to study certain aspects of things). The ciphers have been in the game a…

Have The Killers Ever Met?
Now I know the wraith and nurse have matching outfits like a couple but I don’t think the killers have met. what are your guys ideas?

Killer Relationships
I was wondering what you guys thought about Killer Relationships , like who you think would best buds,enemies,etc

Out of these DBD lore characters who would you want to join the game rooster

Why The Oni's Katana looks like that:
That's because it's a kodachi. This was used by samurai of feudal Japan, the time period Kazan is from. This is his sidearm, with his primary weapon being his kanabo, which were also used by samurai at the time to fight against people who wore armor, since a katana cannot penetrate armor. You can see here that the samurai…

Why the hate towards plague?
I've been seeing some recent threads saying to nerf plague, and lately i've been playing plague and as soon as someone gets infected someone disconnects in some matches Is plague that strong? Will she be the next one to getting nerfed? (also 9 out of 10 plague mains recommend cleansing)

Blood, Brass, and Grit
Spoilers for this who haven't finished the Master Challenges in Tome 3. In the cutscene, we see Evan's father in the mines, beating up one of the workers, maybe one of Evan's friends who sold him out before the mine collapsed, with Evan being witness to this, as recognized by his green suspenders. We see a shadow walking…
-
What is Hillbilly's story inspired from ?
So I have always been very intrigued by Hillbilly's lore, and I am very excited for us to eventually getting a tome based on him ( and another survivor ), but there is something I have always been wondering about. So far we know Hillbilly was born as a deformed boy, unaccepted by his family, and fed through a hole. This is…
-
What if survivors decide to kill the killer?
They have access to hatchets, tools from toolboxes and apparently they have a shiv or something (decisive strike). So what would happen if they killed the killer?
-
Oni and Spirit
So since we know the Oni is not Spirit's father, do we know in which way he is related to her? I only glanced through his lore in the ptb so sorry if i missed that ^^'
-
Dose anyone have the new characters bios?
I'm a console peasant but also a lore buff so im hoping someone can share them

Withering Blight numbers (Hallowed Catalyst skins)
So... Numbers. What are they mean? Any ideas? Spirit: 2825 Hag: 1227 Clown: 1130 Plague: 2514 Nurse: 2330 The only idea i have, that numbers have some order, which critical for deciphering. Maybe, the same order, as killers portrayed in promo banner from left to right: As @EmpathyModule pointed out, the symbols are infact…
-
Is the Hag a Witch or a Wendigo?
I'm so confused. Her title, and ability to inscribe runes on the ground and magically teleport tell me she's a Witch, but her lore and general appearance tell me she's a Wendigo. I don't get it all all: Two iconic monsters, but when they're blended together, neither are really convincing.
-
What time the spirit existed?
She is from this time right? the house looks antique but idk.
-
What if Adiris isn't The Plague?
So one thing that always bugged me about The Plague is that Adiris never killed anyone. Yes, The Entity heard her prayer, but Adiris still never killed anyone, so why's she a killer? My theory is that The Plague (killer) is a combination of Adiris and the plague (disease). I think there is some sort of symbiotic…
-
question for the devs
What does the Entity look like? Is there more than 1? IS there day and night in the entity's realm? Is there a reason the Entity picks THESE certain survivors? What happened to Benedict, Vigo, Alex, etc...? Less cosmetics, more answers!!!! Also, this is kinda off topic, but: The description of Ghost Face's Night Slicker…
-
What happens after the Entity consumes you?
Idk if there's anything in lore that describes this experience right now. But I'm curious if there are theories about what happens after the Entity consumes a sacrificed survivor.
-
Could Rin work as a survivor?
Since the entity is the god of his realm, could Rin be a survivor as well as a killer? I know time works differently in it's realm because we have Adiris. Any lore experts who could share their thoughts?
-
So.. yui kimura is from the future?
I can't go to ptb because I'm from PS4, but judging by the trailer of cursed legacy, she seems to be from the future! It makes sense, since a couple of times the devs have said that the entity can take people from different epochs. Can anyone confirm this to me? Every photo I find of the new lore is of very poor quality.
-
What is the Entity and why should I care?
It just seems to me that too many people say "cause entity lol" whenever a flaw is highlighted in the lore, characters, or the insanity of this whole game. I feel like it's a cheap excuse for bad writing: A mystery box, something that can be kept vague and all-powerful at the same time to explain away everything or…
-
What do you think happened to the Original survivors from the default perks?
Within the game when we first begin leveling up our survivors we had access to some default perks, and similar to the teachables from our main cast they as well had quotes from people. So far we know of these unknown survivors: Andy, Sassy, Murf, Sujan, Clyde, Nikki, Dylan, and Aizeyu. I wonder if the archives will tell us…

The Entity
Hey guys, I decided to take some time out of my boring day to do some digging and hunting and piece together many theories, speculations, and facts to hopefully come to an entire story and conclusion. But with many questions answered, it always opens up a new box of questions. Any facts & evidence that can be disproved…

The Entity Logs, mainly Arcus 54 (Potential spoilers)
So, this log brings a lot of info to the table. If you haven’t read it yet, this is your spoiler warning? Good? Great. The log gives us a lot of stuff to work with. 1. The Observer can pull anything from the fog through the rift, which makes sense. Secondly, the fog is made of living cells, which also makes sense. Then he…

Looking into who Killer 18 is
So firstly, is the new killer the Spirit's dad, Mr. Yamaoka? Its a popular theory, but on the wiki under both pages for Rin and her parents it is stated the Entity passed him over in favor for Rin- her hatred and wrath was a better fuel source than his despair. Note this is from the wiki, so unless someone has a more…
-
Did Evan kill his father for framing him, for the Macmillan estate massacre?
Based on this cutscene it seems to make sense. What do you guys and gals think?
-
Who is The Alchemist?
Is he Vigo? Didn't the devs mention that Vigo was thrown into Void at some point, but he managed to escape, as shown during The Hunger's cutscene? Is he Benedict Baker? Maybe the character from the first Hallowed Blight?
-
eleven could get the survivors out of the world of the entity?
I say that with the entry of stranger things to dbd at least a piece of st lore can enter dbd no ?, here we go! suppose that steve and nancy disappear, the wheeler family is mourning believing that nancy died, mike asks eleven if he can find out, then raise by means of a photo of nancy tries to find her, but at the…

Lore wise why do you think Benedict hasn’t experimented on licensed characters
I’m interested to hear your thoughts

Small appreciation
Can I just put out some small appreciation and mad respect for Claudette's father for actually trying to nurture what makes a child unique rather than stifling it and making them march in lockstep
-
How deep is the lore overall?
Being bored as I am, I started looking into the leaks and lore of DBD, wanting to figure out some more details on the Ch. 14 Killer (The Spirit's 'relative')- but before I go spouting off a bunch of info, how deep is the lore in this game overall? I don't want to sound like I'm digging too deep and being a dumb :p
-
Just A Lil Realization About Wraith...
When it's his turn to be on the Archives, we might finally get to know why the ######### he uses the Wailing Bell. The Killers' Powers usually have something to do with them themselves. I mean, Entity for example gifts Carter's Spark to Herman Carter, but it's because it knows he would use it well given his past. Wraith's lore…

''the hunger'' archive cutscence SPOILER
What do you think is happening at the end there?Imo i think the hooded figure is Vigo finally drained out of hope and being found by the entity and getting thrown into the void.
-
The Golden Toolbox and the Hatch are connected
Since we know the hatch was created by someone and not the Entity, I think the hatch was created using the golden toolboxes. A survivor from the past who might be long gone, maybe Alex or maybe Vigo, created the hatch using the golden toolbox, maybe thats why they are on almost every map out of reach left there by the…

Is our demogorgon Dart? (My Big dumb theory time)
[Spoiler alert, this involves alot to due with Stranger Things, and what I know currently of the show, stop reading here if you plan on watching Stranger Things] If you don't remember Dart, its pretty much Dustin's pet Demodog Dart, when he dies, is in the "DemoDog" state of the Demogorgon's evolution stage, which they are…
-
Why hooks?
Of all things, why does the Entity make hooks a major role in the trials? What do hooks resemble?
-
The Alchemist...
He can travel to the entity's plane itself. He needs the "Flower" to get stronger. What if he is the new killer? What if the cinematic we saw was him becoming one. He could be a swedish alchemist who tried to do alchemy with plants to try and escape the entities world. And instead he kept failing, and he lost all hope…
-
Wait hold up
The entity is the god of that realm. How can it be defeated? If there was a way it would remove or have the killers to destroy it
-
Benedict Baker
So not too much is known about our "friend" Benedict Baker (unless my crap memory is crap). I have a good feeling that he was a survivor, however, over time, he probably started to become less and less friendly and survivor like, and I'm going to assume that eventually, he betrayed everyone he was with. Why do I assume his…
-
The Mysterious Red Hand Print
I have always asked myself, what is the origin of the red hand print on the exit gate lever? Was it created by a survivor that still is alive today, or perhaps a survivor that never was lucky enough to be resurrected upon being consumed by the Entity?
-
Dwight is from either New Jersey or Oregon
Dwight could either be from New Jersey or Oregon because both of those states are the only ones that legally require a filling station attendant at gas stations. We know that Dwight used to be one of these due to his Gas Jockey cosmetic. Also the name is another clue as these attendants can be known as gas jockeys…

Character Video Story Episodes
I think it would be really awesome to see lore based videos of characters on before they entered the fog. A lot like what Apex Legends does with it's lore even though it's a purely multiplayer game. Release video episodes for each character over time expanding the lore. Like this: https://youtu.be/5_8WHxyW86o
-
Was Ash taken by the Entity?
In Ash's lore, it says that a Deadite was supposed to teleport him to his friends. But he ended up in the realm of the Entity. Does this prove that there are other ways to enter the Entity's realm?
-
Lore Theory: The Entity is a Spirit of Purgatory
So, looking over the character bios of Dead by Daylight I believe that I have an answer to what the Entity is: a malevolent spirit of Purgatory. Not just that, but all of the characters in Dead by Daylight are actually, well, dead. Since we already have confirmed "in universe" for the licensed characters of Tapp, Bill,…
-
How does the Entity feel on Killers sparing Survivors?
I imagine killers like the Legion are more so human, even being possibly a psychopath, they would feel sympathy for characters like Jeff and help him towards the hatch, as killing him would be a waste of murder.
-
Vigo is the hooded figure.
I don't get why so many people seem to not get this. "I have been obsessively deciphering Vigo's Journal." the person writing these journal entries isn't Vigo as why would they decipher their own work and seem surprised by it? The hooded figure is Vigo: The hooded figure he seems to know his way around scientific equipment…
-
The Store
Haven't seen any lore on this, so i'll go. I imagine the Entity sees the characters the same way we do. It then browses through the cosmetics it made for them and poofs it onto them to see if it's good. Tadaa.
