**Behaviour Interactive’s popular asymmetrical multiplayer game “Dead by Daylight” has ventured into new territory with a narrative spinoff titled “The Casting of Frank Stone.” While the game shows promise in exploring the universe’s lore, it ultimately falls short of delivering a compelling and impactful horror experience.**
Developed by Supermassive, “The Casting of Frank Stone” takes players through a five-to-six-hour narrative adventure spanning three different time periods. The story revolves around Frank Stone, a serial killer who becomes a pawn in the machinations of the Entity, the malevolent force that governs the Dead by Daylight universe.
The game’s narrative explores the influence of true crime and the impact of the Entity on a normal man, but ultimately lacks the depth and thematic weight to make a lasting impression. While the introduction of new characters like Madison and Stan adds to the Dead by Daylight lore, they feel underdeveloped and ultimately lack the emotional resonance needed to connect with the player.
Despite its shortcomings, “The Casting of Frank Stone” represents a step forward for the Dead by Daylight franchise, demonstrating the potential for expanding the universe beyond the multiplayer format. However, the game’s focus on setting up the lore and introducing new characters overshadows any deeper meaning or compelling scares.
“The Casting of Frank Stone” is available now on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X.
