Lore

Discussions about the Entity's realm

One headcanon about the lore you would ignore any real lore for!
Mine is that Yui is just Johnny Bravo but female and Japanese. I will ignore any lore that BHVR puts out to the contrary.
Question about Ultra Rare Skins
This is realistically one of the most unimportant things for DBD, but I love the concept, so there is something I’ve been wondering. Besides that, this is going to be a long explanation for something this insignificant, so if this seems boring to you, then feel free to just ignore it, I don’t want to waste your time. We’ve…
Moved: I don't get it
This discussion has been moved.
undeniable proof that the survivors and killers can somehow interact between trials
teachables. they teach each other how to use each others perks. how else could they be tought?
Amanda rules set for every survivor
Imaging Amanda playing rules set for every survivor. I wonder how this will look like. Here is my idea on one : Hello Laurie I want to play a game. You have proven to be an experienced survivor. However that have cost you your humanity and morals. Countless times you have injured people around so it's time you face the…
Are lores getting a bit to out of hand
So I was thinking you look at someone like Dwight and his lore it's short but still tells what happened now look at someone like I don't know Felix his lore is long. I don't know which character started the long lore but well I just saying maybe they could dial back on the lore not being short bur not being long basically…
The Google Paragraphs: Paragraph 1 - Left Handed Golf Clubs
Google takes a different turn now in understanding more about the Entity's realm and those within it, as it focuses on the first of the Paragraphs: Bill Overbeck. In this new translation, we discover a unique mission, and at what cost a sacrifice is worth: It took two days for the nose to cool in the peppermint wind, a…
Movie about Legion
Hey, so Legion is my favourite killer so far and his lore is amazingly interesting so i was wondering if there was some movie about him or atleast something similiar. If u know any interesting movies that are similiar to his friends and him lore u can tell me !
Lol I'm Not A Lore Guy
IT: Exists. The Dark Tower: Related to IT's universe. Dead by Daylight: Observer held in tower. Is it time to just say ######### it and throw IT into the game cause towers?🤣
The New Lore Is Dumb Though
Look someone had to say it: Calling the Entity the Hole in Elodie's backstory? Dumb. Memory Loss after trials? Contradicts previous lore, actual gameplay and is dumb cause it strangles any story you might want to do in future with all these characters you've got trademarked. Making Philip into the Punisher of DBD? Dumb,…
Should I buy the Resident Evil Chapter?
I got this question… Should I buy the Resident Evil Chapter? I just like Resident Evil and I watched some YouTube videos and the perks in actions looks so interesting. I still don’t have the game on Switch and willing if you guys actually think of this. Should I buy it with the Silent Hill Edition? (Sorry if it’s on the…
Is Hope a renewable resource that the Entity is just bad at using?
I mean in the real world it a hundred percent IS a renewable resource. I think the Entity is just so inhuman it literally does not know how humans work and thus has been wasting resources this whole time. Wouldn't that be funny? No, actually, it would be tragic given all the people who got voided thanks to the Entity just…
Who would be the Main Protagonist Of DBD?
IVote first then watch the following)If you want to:) btw this isnt my channel
Myers doesn't respect the Entity
I like the idea that Michael doesn't care about the Entity. You know, why should he sacrifice people if he can just kill them? When I play Myers I don't care about sacrificing, there is only one goal: kill them all with my own hands. And save my little sister :3
Looking at Deathslinger and Zarina's lores...
Reading into their lore entries again... It makes me sad there's the implication that Bayshore and the warden perhaps survived after all while all of Caleb's posse died. Because if the 'mad mick massacre' IS a reference to when caleb stormed the prison, it means it got watered down instead of made weirder. such stories…
Killer Campfire?
We all know the lore of Survivors reuniting with one another again and again by the campfire after their attempts at escape. But what does the lore say about Killers? I can't even speculate because I genuinely don't know if this has been addressed or not. Do the Killers have a neutral ground where they go between rounds?…
Who thought of a Non-Horror genre Licensed Chapter idea?
I'm just saying this for a bit of fun, but I would be interested in a DBD chapter that is licensed and NOT from a horror themed genre, so not a horror film or horror game or whatever. but has a certain character that would fit perfectly as a killer for DBD, it can also add a survivor character who wouldn't seem to have…
Nemesis & the Entity
Now that the lore of Nemesis has just been released, is it possible that the Entity is manipulating Nemesis into thinking it’s his commander, just like how Plague seeing it as one of her gods? Let me know what you think?
Monsters? Why?
Please stop making MONSTERS to the game of KILLERS and MANIACS. Why MONSTERs need to hook humans? It's nonsense ! It's ridiculous ! Monsters must want to tear up and eat !
why do some killers kill?
I feel like there's a major inconsistency in the lore with how some killers just don't really have a reason to kill the survivors. like legion only killed that one guy because they essentially had to or else they'd get caught vandalizing that store, they wouldn't have a reason to start going out and killing random people.…
What is each killer’s emotional motivation?
Some killers, like Spirit and Deathslinger, have very clear motivations and emotional “niches.” Spirit is the embodiment at rage of being wronged, Deathslinger is the embodiment of vengeance-seeking vigilante justice. Nurse is the embodiment of absolutely losing it when you have too much work to do, and plague is the…
what motivates the entity to buffs and nerf killers ?

New Killer “The Thing” in DBD.
What does everyone think about The Thing being added to DBD as a killer? I think it would super cool, unique, and a smart decision for the game. I hear there is a new The Thing movie in production and I think this would help promote that movie or keep every up to date for those that aren’t familiar with it, The Thing would…
freddy seems like the only killer that can escape.
freddy can go into survivors dreams so theoretically he could escape by jumping from dream to dream
So the entity took "test subject 1"
if you look at the skin test subject 1 that's clearly not the doctor and it says it's a device allowing him to mind control people. So that's a victim mind controlled by the doctor. So the entity is allowing killers to bring their own victims into the world?
Do you think this could be a hint to a future chapter?
Not sure how many of you read the lore entries, but this one in particular strikes me as potential for a new chapter. Do you think it could hint at a chapter, and if so, would you be excited for a future-vampire chapter?
Y'know, About Bloodpoints...
Is there a canon reason why they're triangles?
The Google Chapters. Chapter 3: of the Abyss and the Ear
Things start to get macabre with this 3rd chapter, but there is depth beneath the wounds as Google sees it. In this chapter, what strange habits did Ace develop to survive school? How badly messed up is Lisa's anatomy? And where does drinking water take you? Let's see what Google shows us: Ace Attorney Ace Attorney is one…
This was the first thing I thought of when reading Elodie's lore
The moral of this story is The Hole is a really bad name and I can't take it remotely seriously.
Is Yun-Jin Lee a killer candidate?
We know survivors can become killers, her entry mentions her embracing the darkness within herself. The Spirits obsession based perk seems to imply she dragged her father into the trials as revenge. Inspite of his egotism The Trickster does not seem like he would truly be happy with the "indie fan base" he has in the…
Perhaps there's something larger than the entity?
Bear with me here; We all know the entity and the trials and the like, but I've had a thought; what if there is some, for lack of a better word, larger entity? We knew already that the fog does not follow the entity's rules to the letter, and indeed both survivors and killers can manipulate it, whether reading the memories…

The Google Chapters. Chapter 1: The Last Of Us
Google helps us understand the expanding nature of the Dead By Daylight universe. In this first expansion, Google tells us what we already know, but how did Nea become this? And how did Sally get 1 billion views working at Sainsburys? Let's delve into these questions in more detail.. Nea Karlsson. Nea is the Entity, a long…
Who is the strongest killer in lore?
Now that Nemesis is out I honestly think he takes the cake for being the strongest killer if they were as strong as their original source material counterparts. Freddy seems like he could be really strong but his movies seem kind of ambiguous with how his power actually works. So who do you think would be the strongest…
The DLC of your dreams
Imagine you can put any famous character from pop culture as it was possible on this game. I can see the Disney Snow White as survivor shes so pure for the entity.. and as killer, meh, maybe the countessa - Lady Gaga - from american horror story.
I think I know when Myers was taken by the Entity
The Shape is based of the incarnation of the killer from the 1978 Halloween Slasher. Now, this is a completely different timeline from how the original movies played out. The Original Timeline: Michael Myers is shot by Dr. Loomis and falls off the balcony. Myers somehow lives and escapes without being seen or heard. Dead…
The RE universe is ######### in the DBD multiverse.
So we all know DBD is not canon to the Resident Evil universe but its canon to its own universe. And the most important people were taken.Jill and Leon. Jills plan to expose Umbrella was ruined by the entity. Raccoon City would still be nuked and Umbrella will continue their ways.Events of RE4 dont happen, idk about 5 and…
Does anyone Have Extreme respect for Charlotte
She seems to be the only killer that kills for someone else(tell me if I'm wrong) not of anger,revenge,religion or fun, she just wants her smaller brother alive, it feels very close to home and I respect her...
VICS age
how old is vic inuring minds want to know why cause if we discuss kicking vic is vic young enough to be consider discussing child abuse? Hmmm
The Google Chapters: Chapter 2 - Halloumi
In this second dlc, 2 well-known people join the trials. But, do we really know them? According to Google, we really don't. So, what does Laurie spend her time doing in the afternoons? And just how important is it that hot Michael Myers gets to Coventry? Let's find out: Laurie Strode: You never know what someone is going…
Survivors' Character Designs - a Tier List
As of this day, there are 17 original survivors in the game. I'm a bit of a nut for lore and character design, so I thought I'd make a tier list of how good each character's design is (how well their look flows together, how good their color palette, how well their appearance reflects their lore, etc.). Licensed characters…
Good or evil?
It's really weird when you read a story of some character and then Archives just showing this one in other way, like Yui have really nice story, just she loves do what she want, but she had good connection with grandma and then in Archives you see her like a woman who is really focused on win. That's kinda two…
Killer wreaths - what's the significance of tanagers?
I always thought the killer wreaths were kind of neat; where the survivor bloodpoint offerings focus on flowers and plants, and have a mainly symbolic connection to the categories they boost, the killer bloodpoint offerings are themed after birds. And for three of them, I can see a clear correlation. Hunter: Spotted Owl.…
Killer Lore, but Google Helped Complete It
So, Google shined a light on the hidden darkness of the survivors, but has the Entity blocked the true lore of the base killers? No, because Google is all-knowing! In this post, there are more important discoveries: How is the Trapper's diet? What was Philip Ojomo doing in Birmingham? And has the reason for Alan…
What year/decade was every survivor taken from?
Im curious if this is known
Survivor Lore, but Google helped complete it
The lore is always an interesting facet, but Google knows more than we do, and has delved deeper into the archives, which has disclosed some interesting information, hidden even from the Entity itself! So, was Dwight really a loser, and his boss sharing a bit too much? Was Meg's altruism slightly eskewed? Where did…
Question when do u think you will make a tome/ archive for Jeff?
I’m curious because us jeff mains feel like we’re left behind and we’re hoping for Jeff to shine again.
Why are all the survivors from the same/similar time?
The entity has taken killers from many different time periods (either it has been doing so for centuries or it is not bound by the same laws of time) yet all the survivors appear to be from recent times. Why is this? Can't we get an old tavern wench survivor or like an old japanese Geisha to compliment Oni? I'd love to see…
Blood Moon in Tome VII(DEAD SPACE MAYBE?!)
The ultra rare charm at the end of Tome VII is a blood moon. Anyone who has played Dead Space knows how important the blood moon is. Could this maybe be a hint at yet another video game crossover? This time with Dead Space?
Dbd hid a tidbit of lore in character design.
As many of you remember, 2 - 3 years ago we were introduced to Talbot Grimes, AKA The Blight. This came through the Hallowed Blight, but we never got a great look at him. When we did see him, it was usually a shadowed silhouette, or a glimpse of a portion of his outfit. That somewhat changed in the withering blight. Where…
