Lore

Discussions about the Entity's realm

Connection to Death Garden?
Is there any connection lore wise to Death Garden? On the killers shoulder there is a thrill of the hunt symbol.
Why doesn't David just destroy Amanda?
Title. I'm pretty sure David could take Amanda, even though she has a knife. Why doesn't he do his? Has he tried before and been punished by the entity somehow?
Why cant do ALL the 6-7 gens at a trial after the First 5 one's
So as @TheBretzel Said the entity weakness is light, why after doing the First 5 generators the survivors dont finish the last two(?) And more light = entity's more "fragile" and maybe could(survivors) even being able to get back to the real world
Escaping The Realm
The developers have alluded to the possibility that survivors could somehow escape the realm. This could be somehow linked to Vigo as he/she is speculated to be the creator of the hatch. In the lore it says that Vigo is/was able to bend the rules of the fog. This could mean that they might have escaped somehow. But the…
First Survivor
Hello, everyone! It is RogueGoddess. In the research I have been doing for my video tomorrow at 5pm EST, I found that once the survivor no longer has any hope, they will become a killer. While I will be doing a video on the survivor's psychology, I would love to hear from each of you! Which survivor do you think will be…
What is the voice the killer's hear in the tutorial?
Is it the Entity? Or is there a killer equivalent of Benedict Baker? Either way, I don't think it's the killer themselves saying it, since the dialogue is pretty weird.
NURSE LORE ITA
La storia della nurse è una delle più particolari, ma anche una delle più affascinanti, sarà all'altezza di quella degli altri killer? clicca sul link e lo scoprirai ;) https://youtu.be/ew3lybxvt18
Face of the Entity found!
Hey guys! I found the face of the Entity. It's on the 2nd Anniversary picture in the bottom right of the forest.
How does the entity grab survivors?
Is there like a specific forest where people go and never come back Or can the entity grab you anytime it wants
If a survivor formed a romantic relationship in The Entity's realm, what would happen?
So, let's say two survivors fall in love with each other and form a relationship; would The Entity do something about it? What would happen?
Can the entity die?
I mean, the entity needs to feed on the sacrified survivors, if the killers hipothecally agreed with the survivors not to kill them, the entity will torture them but if they don't obey it, the entity will eventually die of hunger. What would happen to everyone then, will they go back to the real world or they will disapear?
Nea's Lore.
In Nea's Lore it says that Nea's friends dared her to go to Protus Penn Asylum to tag it, but if you look everywhere on asylum or the clown's new map, it is nowhere to be found. Also one more question, Nea and Kate are both artists, Nea creates paintings and tags government buildings with it and Kate creates songs. Both of…
Why Kate appeared in the Entity's Realm?
As far as we know - Entity grabs survivors with the tough life , with some problems and etc , however they have hope . And hope is the reason why Entity takes survivors in it's realm. But wht Kate ? Her life was (is?) pretty good and cheerfull according to her lore. So why Entity grabbed her so intensively ?
The discussion of the entity
This page is going to be solely devoted to the entity and what it is For what we know now is that the entity is an all powerful god of some sort and The entity is capable of creating little dimensions from which the trials take place How it obtains it's survivors and killers is that I've heard it's attracted to large…

skins of the trapper wraith hillbily for dwight meg jake and claudette and one of the nurse for nea and the doctor for feng min and the huntress for david king and the shape for laurie and freddy for quentin and the pig for the detective tapp and the clown for kate and the hag for ace ......leatherface is alone :'(
Did Kate Summon The Entity?
In Kate's lore, it describes how she was taken into The Realm. Right before she was taken, she was playing a song on her guitar that seemed strange, unnatural and "dark". It goes on to say that "the leaves vibrated in unison with the guitar strings and the boughs of the trees lengthened, coalescing into a living form".…
Killers Eveyday Lives IRL?
Does the doctor ever sleep? Does the Doctor have an electricity bill that’s through the roof or does he not pay it at all? What does the Wraith have for breakfast? where does Billy get his chainsaw serviced? (Where does he get all of that gas and where does he get his oil changed, there is no way that chainsaw is doing any…
Will you ever put animated shorts for killers and survivors stories.
Will you ever put animated shorts for killers and survivors.
Question about trapper lore/viability
Now, i'm playing dbd almost from his release. And i noticed one thing... he is the most depicted in the majority of "generalized" dead by daylight images, being them press, concept art etc... The question is... could he have some particular relation with the enitity that other killers dos not have..? Maibe he is the very…
Deeper Lore
I would love to see/ experience DEEPER lore for DBD where did the entity come from? IS there an escape from this realm? do the survivors get hungry? idk what do you guys think?
Are Ace and Anna married?
I main Ace and Huntress is my 2nd main next to Doctor. Now ive noticed...Ace and Huntress both have rings on their ring fingers. Could Ace be the lone man that captured Annas heart after her mothers death? Ace has a nice tuxedo...and im hoping for a Huntress wedding dress cosmetic to further deepen their connectiom ^_^
Entity's Realm A Product of the Human Mind?
I have a theory about how the entity's realm is run/created. I think that it is possibly a construct made by the the human mind. I also think it is possible that it is run by the minds in it. Remember when the devs said that they would never add a non-human killer? This might be the reason why. Humans have almost limitless…
Are survivors mute?
They don’t speak besides screams and grunts.

How strong is the Entity?
Sorry, kinda new to dead by daylight, but I’ve looked into lot into the lore of the game and how the games operate, but what keeps bugging me is the entity. It is this god like creature that takes people and monster of people from different realities to play different games of life and death, and it enjoys the pain and…
Similarities in Killers
In all of the original Killers, they are taken by the Entity after doing something terrible. They also all have a terrible thing happen to them. The same is mostly true for licensed Killers, but I will ignore them because we do not know if they are 100% canon or not, and technically Pig and Tapp both die in the saw…
Why did the Entity grab Kate Denson with it's claws?
Usually Survivors/Killers would just: Blink Fall asleep Die or simply be present in a forest and instantly be in the Entity's Realm just like that as if they got teleported without a trace. According to Kate Denson's Bio she got physically grabbed by the Entity's Claws and got taken away into it's realm. Why would the…
Lore to Teabagging?
Lol idk. Go crazy. I'm interested to hear some ideas.
The Killer Shack
I really dont understand whats up with this thing lore-wise. Why is it even called a killer shack?
Favourite parts of lore or lore discussion.
I always enjoy the lore of dead by daylight and find it really interesting with awesome characters and stories so I invite you to discuss and talk about different parts of the lore.
Spiegazione lore entità e Benedict Baker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAmg_9a9pYc
Any lore on how the survivors are somewhat superhuman?
I mean they have unlimited healing supplies and never run out of stamina. Plus they seem to have this secret weapon codenamed: P.A.L.L.E.T.
Can The Entity pull survivors and killers from any dimension?
So, we've seen The Entity snatch up both survivors and killers from their respective dimensions. However, they've all originated from a horror themed movie. Can he pull people from, I dunno, The Little Mermaid or Bible Black?
Entity's fuel?(LORE)
-We know that the Entity is feeding from the killers,that his a god of torture and all that,but what if he's a god of hope too?The hope that the survivors have wile running from the killers,the hope tha they will escape.The hope that the killers will catch them and will please them and the entity(and themselfs).That…
Maybe the survivors and killers don't exist and it's the players which are stuck in the entity's re-
-alm? This would be super meta But hear me out, it would make sense? The ability to swap characters at any time, being a killer or survivor. Multiple games being played at once, multiple players playing the same character at the same time? Maybe it is us stuck in the entity's realm and the survivors and killers we play as…
Can you use the internet in The Entity's realm?
Let's say Feng Min wants to play an online match of Overwatch or David King wants to browse Baitbus, do you believe they'd be able to do so?
Does time matter in the entity’s realm?
so I was wondering if time was slowed or acts differently in the entity’s realm because the clown is from the 40s and most of the killers are from the 50s - 70s but the survivors are from what we read in their bios recent times like 2000 - now except Laurie so let’s say Dwight is from 2008 and Kate is from 2010 if they…
In game collectibles? (LORE)
I would love to get in game collectibles. It would be amazing to have some sort of system where you can collect things that add to player history or character history. Like 1 hidden collectible in every trial. Each killer and character has a total of 4 pieces or X amount of pieces. Once you get all the pieces you get like…

What if?
Dead by daylight is a alternate reality in which we are really controlling these character's as they feel everything happening to them with no control whatsoever and every game is in its own universe.... 8-)
I saw an amazing post on reddit about 6 months back regarding the basement
It was discussing the customisable options available depending on the killer. I recall someone saying that if the killer was doctor, based on the prestige level, it would have more and more medical equipment and perhaps an electric chair, plus the hooks would be customised to the Lery's offering. What do you guys think?…
Couple Lore Questions.
* Do we know what happened to Benedict Baker? * In Benedict Baker's journal, he mentions that he was able to talk to others in the entity's realm. I thought the survivors couldn't talk. If so, why don't the survivors talk? * What happened to all the survivors in the entity's realm that we haven't seen, like Vigo, Alex, or…
Vigo's Fate?
So while doing research both in game and on the wiki it appears Vigo is a "Survivor"that has the ability to manipulate the way the trials work "salty lips and shrouds" but the wiki also suggests that she could have also been responsible for the Dark lock (hatch) but there are few theories of mine that i would like input on…
Nurse's Blimk screams
i know why it's there mechanically, but lore wise, is it her scream or the last scream of her victims from the asylum? what do you all think?
Survivor Hope Status
From what i can see and from how long we have been with these characters this is what I think on their hope status. 1. Dwight: Critical-Seems like he's on his last legs 2. Meg: Fair- She seems alright for now 3. Claudette: Fair -She still seems to think there is a way out. But time will only tell 4. Jake: Good- Due to low…
do billy and dwight have a connection?
i main billy and i think hes the bees knees as far as killers go. i occasionally play dwight just to break the monotony of hooking ppl. one of billys better add-ons is 'family recipe moonshine'. and as i was reading dwights bio, i noticed that he found himself in his current predicament due to drinking too much 'family…
The fog, its inhabitants and their emotional release.
Specifically, sexually. How do you think the survivors deal with eachother in their dead time? As in when it is not a ongoing trial? Do they socialize? Do the killers watch? Im eager to hear your theories. Personally i think its a dog eat dog world.
