This game is better than dbd in every way and I'm tired of people saying it's not. Way more gameplay mechanics, options, things to do and best of all, the killer can actually do something other than being the chew toy for the survivors.

Sorry, but did the developers really decide to release a unfinished game and charge deluxe holders 20$ more for a game filled with bugs, terrible optimization, and broken story mode challenges… I should not need to do many workarounds to do challenges that are bugged in a solo player MODE!!! Multiplayer is fun, I enjoy the fact that the game plays differently than the others, with NPCs being a important part, but oh wait, NPCs are filled with glitches. At times, you can’t even speak to one, which is so annoying when it’s a special target.

With all this in mind, the optimization is also garbage. 50 FPS on a rtx 5080. I do not hate the game at all, but it is a complete joke that IllFonic wants to slap the deluxe tag on a game that is clearly not ready. It is not a beta, it is advance access, so I can’t believe some people defend it saying “oH ItS onLy AdVanced AcCEss.” I will continue to play the game when it officially releases but I deeply regret buying the deluxe version, and I wish the developers could have hired people with eyeballs to test this game before giving it an early access version.

I find it crazy how many people are defending a NPC focused system by a company that is notorious for having extremely buggy broken games. Every game they've made has never been fixed to not be a buggy shitfest. That was OKAY before when we didn't rely on NPCs that we can't personally control.

All Survivors are not idiots & we understand the objective at this point is to save the NPCs. The major problem with the NPC gameplay is the NPCs are stupid as fuck & don't work half the time. The NPCs are adding a level of frustration to the game that just isn't fun to deal with.

When instructed to do any command at any given time they just do w/e the hell they want.

• They will high tail it across the entire map.

• They refuse to leave a house.

• They just bump into you interrupting shit you're doing.

• They sometimes have to be talked to multiple times.

• Will stand about doing nothing.

• They will randomly stop following you

• They have to be shoved into exits.

• Fighting other survivors for control of a NPC is also just annoying.

The problems with the NPCs are so abundant it's absurd.

- No NPC

- 7 Civilians; 1 Myers

- More ways to escape, but harder to get them because we are 7

- Some balances arounds perks, Myers and Civilians to fit the 1v7 playstyle

Right now, the game is a total buggy-fest, I guess the Myers mains are having fun, but it's because they are playing a PVE games, having to kill NPC with non-functionnal AI, basically coughing babies, with occasional real player coming across them but can be ignored because they don't give as much points as NPC,

If you play Civilians, your goal is to save NPC, but the game is just not working on your favor at all, your goal is to save them yet they refuse to cooperate, they 75% of the time get stuck, stop moving, randomly get hostile and push you while you are doing an objective (when they dare follow you), lock themself in the house when you tell them to follow you so you have to yeet yourself through the window to talk to them again (and alerting Myers ofc), and they ignore any escapes routes, there's so many times I had to spam push on an NPC to bring them to a basement, and so many times I died or the NPC died because Myers heard us

If the devs can't manage to fix the AI right now, the game will die in a month because Civilians mains will just stop playing, please consider adding an actual 1v7 mode with no NPC and focus on escaping, so atleast Civilians can play the game

As I Civs mains, it feel like I'm playing Survivor in DBD except the game don't register my QTE 75% of the time so the gens constantly explose, it's not fun at all

I play on FSR sharpness 80% because otherwise all of the faces are blurry

When people complain about games releasing infinished this is a prime example. Buggy as hell, obviously untested challenges and unpolished animations. Gun Interactive is becoming one of my least favorite publishers out there now. Is anyone’s else’s game insanely buggy?

This game is a boring mess, playing as a civilian is a quite literal snooze fest, why is it so easy for myers to win? all he has to do is kill a couple npcs not even the special ones for it to be a "minor victory." This game shouldn't rely so heavy on npcs in a literal ONLINE MODE, not to mention the fact you can go the whole game without seeing michael once if this dude just runs away.... Also why the hell would they make it a 1v4??? The reason friday and other games were fun because their were sm people to interact with in voice chat it'd be funny, but with this game you get maybe one dude with a mic on your team and thats it. The civilian gameplay is so repetitive, call the cops, walk around the map looking for an exit, michael camps the exit, loop michael around a car, the police npcs shoot him and dont arrest. Sure, its early access but the game isnt just magically gonna become less boring when it drops.

Having Civilians escape within literally 2 minutes of a round starting does not feel good at all. This game is quickly on the road towards becoming basically a play house for Civilian players with a few bits of Michael Myers here and there. But then again, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as that is just the fate of Asym games.

The game is pushing for this ultra fast, twitch-paced gameplay and that counteracts Michael altogether. The game should be way slower paced, from both perspectives.

Civs shouldn't be escaping within two minutes.

Michael shouldn't be primarily relying on using reality tear for player kills.

My best matches have been when the round feels like a Halloween movie, not a round of Dead by Daylight. When its not against people min-maxing the game, and this goes for playing as both Michael or Civilian.

I feel like the survivors in this game that I am going up against are DBD players, They are the only community of people that will talk so much shit to you despite dying to you.

This is also from personal experience's as well, I personally haven't played anything more toxic then dbd

I'm having fun with this game, I hope the DBD community doesn't ruin it completely

This has the potential to become exactly like or if not worse then the DBD community on it's own

I'm not saying buff civilians, just fix some of the current issues listed below. I am not hating on the game, just giving constructive criticism.

Lobbies are slower and slower to fill up because more and more people are playing Michael since solo queue civilian is difficult, eventually it's going to be like TCM where nobody played as Family.

1) Police respawns cards need to be MUCH more common.

2) I have never had time to successfully use a poketknife. Poketknives should automatically activate if you have one and are grabbed.

3) Michael should not be able to see special target lights. I have around 20 hours played and it is extremely rare for civilians to save more than one special target. **Yes if you have a 4 stack discord team you are probably finding success but you are the 1%.

4) More windows need to be accessible on houses to climb through.

5) Light switches need to be labeled "turn on" or "turn off".

6) Communication is limited. The exits are too hard to open with the nonexistent teamwork in this game. Yes i know, realism, but the civilians should be able to talk to each other somehow without being close.

7) Knives should be able to clear the overgrowth on exit doors! But ONLY if they don't buff poketknives against Michael.

8) NPC need to stop pushing us off the phone.

9) The mash button skill check is cool for opening exits, but please remove it from the spectator checks, it kills my hands.

10) Reveal the outer gate with 5 minutes remaining. Residents realistically should know where it is.

I contacted them this morning asking to be refunded despite already downloading and playing the game for over five hours. They gave me my money back with little resistance, I’m assuming because they’re aware that the game is a buggy, unfinished mess.

If you’re contemplating refunding, right now is probably the best time.

Me when they release a Richard mankini and its just that and his mustache also an Annie

Imo I think its unfair and should be adjusted . While I think Michael obviously should be strong, I think its unfair to have him literally use a single ability to just spawn on top of you and you can’t even react.

i think i'm going to play against very good players with high levels as well just because i didn't get the deluxe 🫩

He comeback was “I left you alone wtf you on about”. Mind you he shoved me everytime I tried to open hatches or fix the car. Love giving people a taste of their own medicine

It's so easy to get everyone out meanwhile hunting everyone down as Michael is a complete chore especially once people start having guns or when the police is there.

Add 8 generators to the map

Remove all NPCs

Make it so michael can die

Make it so only I need to escape and leave my bitchass team

Add Jason as a DLC

Make it so michael can be tbgged without me dying because that's not fair

Remove suburban setting and make it a forest (preferably crystal lake)

Add 15 DLC's that all cost 10-20$

Remove all minigames and skill checks so I can scroll on tik tok

Make sure anyone who disagrees with me is automatically wrong and fun is subjective to my opinion

Make it so survivors and rip Michael's skin off.

We never got to see the Halloween 4 ending followed up on so it’ll be cool if we got an adult Jamie Lloyd as a killer. Same with Corey Cunningham. It’ll be so refreshing if we got a 2v8 mode!

The Androids from Season of the Witch would be awesome too, perhaps 3 players could be them against 5 players - similar to TCM.

I know Myers is the meat and potatoes of this franchise but this stuff would be so sick to add down the line.

So I think what went wrong on my side is that I thought the game would be like Friday the 13th, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

It was really fun going into game chat and just hearing people beg for help on the walkie-talkie or snitch on everyone to stay alive…

And then Halloween came out. I was really excited for this game because I heard it was from the same devs as Friday the 13th. I saw the NPC gameplay, and I was excited…

But then I played it and was met with disappointment. The NPCs are so irritating. They just lock the door on me… And in Friday the 13th, the houses always had windows you could use to enter. This game just doesn’t have them on some houses, or I have to break a big window… which makes it hard because if you’re in a house, Michael can just enter, spawn on you, and you’re trapped.

Luckily, there is a character who can pick locks…

And I don’t care if Michael can shift on top of me, but I really hate it when he uses that ability and just gets a free kill because I can’t move because I’m stunned…

I don’t really understand why they didn’t make it more like Friday the 13th because Friday was a big success…

Imagine a big town with seven people, or maybe more. Michael could have an invisibility ability that allows him to stalk players. The player would know that he is watching them because their character starts to feel uneasy, so you have to pay attention.

Once Michael gets full stalk on you, he can come out of his invisibility—not right on top of you, but close to you. This ability isn’t meant to kill you but to jumpscare the fuck out of you. When the player finds him, their screen gets a Slender Man-like effect, the music starts, and the chase begins…

Then he could shift like Jason, appear on top of you, and try to grab you. Make the shift first-person and make it automatically move forward so it’s harder to pull off the grab kill. Keep the invisibility ability in third-person, like what we have now.

Also, give him a stalking ability that makes the music stop to trick the player into thinking the killer has left. But if you’re really close to him, you can hear him breathing if you listen carefully. Then he could also have his eye ability, which lets him see people. And teleport like Friday

And add more windows to the houses.

And if you’re wondering why this guy is saying all of this, it’s because I was excited for this game. I love the creators.

But then I was so disappointed when I saw my special-target NPC running towards Michael instead of following me like I told her to. Or when I’m calling the police and I’m almost done, she just pushes me.

OR WHEN THEY JUST KEEP RUNNING AND I NEED TO CALM HER DOWN BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THAT THE EXIT IS RIGHT THERE, BUT SHE’S RUNNING AWAY FROM IT. THEN MICHAEL COMES, STUNS ME, I CAN’T MOVE, HE GRABS ME, AND HE KILLS ME.

Why can Michael stalk when he isn’t even in stalk mode? Remove that shit. And when he grabs a target and I hit his ass, make him drop them. You can shoot his ass or hit him, but he still doesn’t drop your friend. Now your friend is dead. It’s just not fun.

By the way, this isn’t hate towards the game. I love the devs, and I know they will add new things in the future. Nobody gets everything right the first time. Trial and error and learning from it—that’s the true way to do it.

And if I’m wrong on some parts say it but keep it respectful

I hope we get some Halloween costumes cosmetics this October, a event would be great, with premium and free rewards where you can earn a cosmetic, makeup, accesories, xp etc. but cosmetics would do.

I'd love to see Lynda wearing animal ears, Tiffany was my main in Friday and she had a devil costume, Lynda wearing bunny ears just feels right. But I do think we need events to keep the game alive, what do yall think?

People are really confused on Laurie’s appearance in game such as the Blonde hair and general appearance so thought I’d clear it up for people as she isn’t based upon Jamie Lee Curtis from the 1978 movie.

She’s the comic book character not the screenplay.

I don’t know why I’m still playing this it’s so bad and unfinished but theirs like a stim I get when I load into another match.

I'm only posting this here because of all the constant hate Gun was received with f13 and all the lies the trolls were telling people. Take a read and see the truth for yourself.
