What makes Dead by Daylight such a special game is...
Depending on what killer you face, it will change what type of horror the game is, the 2 horror types I know are called Panic Horror and Physiological Horror, I will use the game Outlast 2
How the game can become Panic Horror: Panic horror is described in its name, it causes Panic when you it occurs, using Outlast 2's character Marta, you don't know where she is, but once you see her, you will panic the first time through because you don't know what to do, no back to dbd, some killers you don't know they are around you, until you finally see them, some people will have a thing called "Panic freeze" where when they Panic, they will just stop what they are doing, also really any killer that makes you panic, this comes into affect, like NOED is active, but nobody can find it
How the game can become Physiological horror: Currently only 1 killer can do this type of horror, his name is "The Doctor", Physiological Horror is a horror type that messes with you mentally, comparing this with the scenes with any school scene, you will go into the school in one scene and you will get chased towards a locked door with a shadow behind you, when you turn around, nobody is there, you also can see a young girl hung in a hallway that gets taken away by a tentacle, now back to dbd, The Doctor has the ability to make fake pallets over broken ones, when you feel safe, and need the pallet, doctor will deny you this, his illusions and imagery when you scream can do the same. Going slightly off topic, but they need to make another Physiological Horror killer
Summary, this game can change what the horror is depending on the situation, just like Outlast 2
