There is no more horror in Dead by Daylight

The last time we really had Horror was the Unknown teasers but quickly turned into a silly meme when released.

They slowly remove the horror aesthetics over the years as you can evidently see when they removed the fog, removed Doctor jumpscars and static effects, removed Clown's bottle drunk effects, removing darkness, etc.

This game became a horror survival hide and seek game to run around the rosies around the car in broad daylight simulator. Every element about horror is gone.

Wish they didn't took the Fortnite route.

    Removed the Fog

    Caused performance issued, and was complained about

    Removed Doctor Jumpscares

    Accessibility

    Clown Intoxicated Effect

    Accessibility

    Removed Darkness

    Complained about

    The reasons above are valid as to why they were removed, how ever it would of been much better if they made these options instead of outright removing them.

    P.S. devs please bring back the old functionality of Huntress' Lullaby (no not the perk her actual lullaby)

    Horror can only really function when there's unknowns in play.

    DbD is, for the most part, figured out. The horror tends to fade very quickly once you know that every killer takes precisely 2.7 seconds to break a slab of wood.
