What are the potential Implications of the entity corruption all over RPD?
As we all know by now the entity manifests itself in a variety of ways throughout the trial, be it to the aid of the killer or exceptionally rarely the aid of the survivor. More prominently we are aware that the entiriety of any trial we partake in is "made" of the entity in a way. The ground we walk on is essentially its "body" or at least an extension of it formed into a feeding ground for killers and survivors to partake in. Most of the maps are formed in a manner that would make them akin to their real life counterparts, a devious method the entity employs to give the survivors a false sense of hope that they are in a place somewhere on earth and that escape is a real possibility. However this is not the case for RPD, as the map is coated in blistering manifestations of the entity, covered in a viscous gelatinous shell and the classic blackish entity exoskeleton we have grown accustom too. I've been thinking a lot about what the potential implications of these manifestations could be. Does it display that the entity has been growing much stronger as it takes more and more effective and powerful killers? The blisters on this map give me the vibe of an entity fat and bloated with the immense power is gained. Practically bursting from the seems of the police station, situated in the center of a city that the entity had plenty of suffering to feed upon. What are your thoughts? There are plenty of potential lore implications as to why RPD looks the way it does. I'd like to hear some alternative theories.

Interesting idea. I guess I never thought about it past the aesthetics.

Guest characters are not canon.

Honestly I kind of wanted a plain version of the RPD map, without the corrupted entity look.
I think the devs wanted to give the map a unique DBD feel since the map assets were practically copy/pasted from RE2 Remake.

I think Bill is canon now since he got archives lore.

Exactly, just because they're from another game or whatever originally doesn't make them non-canon.

No it's not canon to the main series the characters are from and the bios/archives stories stories for these characters are no different from fanfic. Licensed owners allow the devs the creative use but they do not canonize whatever being made.

Non-canon to main series. Canon to this story. Think of it as an alternate universe or whatever of a story it's somewhat more than fan fiction it's part of the Dead by Daylight story.

Someone made this video on how they think it'd change the Stranger Things timeline according to the DBD world with the entity pulling them into its world.

I meant the devs not being in control of licensed characters and how the owners of Stranger Things are removing them from the game.
