I know this is a really crazy idea but I want to say it anyway ...

I think Hens and Otzdarva should be offered a 6-month contract of employment from BHVR as independent contractors to produce audiovisual tutorials that teach survivors how to play Dead by Daylight. These audiovisual tutorials would be in the main game, and would be similar in tone to what "Dead by Daylight Academy" would look like in real-life. While these tutorials would be accessible from the main menu, they would also play during the match loading screen, and the match loading screen would be artificially extended accordingly. For example, let's say it takes on average 48 seconds to load into a match. If you instead guaranteed to the playerbase that matches would load in 60 seconds, you would have the opportunity to have Otz and Hens make 60 second tutorials and the game starts at the end. There would be a menu option to disable tutorials for beginners, but they would function similar to the new killer titlecards, but would provide visual feedback instead of written help.

We are in 2025 now and my cellphone has rotted my brain. I am an adult and I am incapable of reading an entire book. Nevertheless, I will justify my ability to have an opinion about Dead by Daylight in Artifact A. A common criticism from the Dead by Daylight community is that the game is "hard to get into" for new players because the game requires deep knowledge to play effectively. This is inherently a difficult problem to fix because I know deep down in my soul that I am not reading paragraphs to learn how to play Dead by Daylight effectively. I am sorry but that is just not realistic for me--and I would assume most people on the planet too.

I think the best solution to this problem is for BHVR to contract the work out from the community and bring it into the main game through videos. Let me explain more.

Hens has proven to the Dead by Daylight community on multiple occasions that he has a significant understanding of how Dead by Daylight works, and how to play. He has also demonstrated on multiple occasions that he knows how to edit and frame his opinions towards Dead by Daylight in a rich, high-quality manner. In my opinion, the best video from Hens that showcases his artistic quality and technical ability is "How Hackers Are Slowly Taking Over This Game". I will link this video below in Artifact B.

I do not have to establish credibility for Otzdarva. He has already proven himself and he is a household name similar to Tony Hawk or Tiger Woods. I can reasonably assume you are familiar with his tierlists as they are widely used to document and distribute the META.

Hens and Otz both have professional experience with Dead by Daylight that can be valuable in obtaining and retaining new players introduced by the upcoming FNAF chapter. I genuinely think Dead by Daylight is going to crash on launch from the FNAF wave. I am being 100% serious. I do not think the game is going to handle the amount of FNAF fans on the planet. Having these tutorials as the solution now would give the guys enough time to make the tutorials and implement them into the game before the big chapter drops next year.

Alien was License with a capital L. I would say FNAF is a License with all capital letters.

    I think are great Fog Whisperers able to make engaging content in different niches, but to do professional, impartial and clear content for all audiences, that's very hard.
