Dead by Daylight x The Evil Within – Chapter Concept (PDF attached)
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a chapter concept I’ve been working on for a while now:
Dead by Daylight x The Evil Within.
The Evil Within is my favorite horror game of all time, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that its themes would fit perfectly into Dead by Daylight – especially from a psychological horror and map-control perspective.
What’s included in the attached PDF:
- A full Killer concept (The Keeper) with a unique power focused on map control and pressure
- Killer perks designed around fear, positioning, and information denial
- A Survivor concept (Sebastian Castellanos) with info-based perks
- A detailed map idea called STEM Fragments, built to stay fully DBD-compatible (2D layout, aura readability, proper rotations)
The goal was not to create an overpowered killer or gimmicky mechanics, but something that:
- fits DBD’s design philosophy
- feels fair for both SoloQ and SWF
- and still captures the identity of The Evil Within
Transparency
About 80% of the ideas come directly from me.
The structuring, refinement, and some design feedback were done with the help of ChatGPT, and the concept images/mockups were generated the same way (I’m not an artist 😅).
I’m not expecting anything from this – I just wanted to share the concept with the community and see what people think.
I’d love to hear:
- Would you like to see The Evil Within as a chapter in DBD?
- What do you think about the Keeper as a control-focused killer?
- Does the STEM-based map idea sound fun or frustrating to play?
Looking forward to your feedback and discussion!

I'd certainly love to see a Tatiana Gutierrez legendary if the chapter does happen.
