The Casting of Frank Stone is a story game that expands more profoundly into the terrifying world of Dead by Daylight. It provides a genuinely cinematic horror experience, delving deep into the Entity's origins and the chilling process of becoming one of its famous killers.
As you control a cast of characters caught in the Entity's grasp, you'll witness the horrifying consequences of its relentless pursuit firsthand.

In this latest reimagining of the iconic horror game, players step into the shoes of Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby, investigating the mysterious Derceto Manor.
