DBDLE

DBDLE is a fan-made daily game about Dead by Daylight, in the style of Wordle and LoLdle. It is made by Tristan Lainé, a solo developer in France whose Taxon Games runs the same kind of daily game for Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, Valorant, Apex Legends and others. It is not affiliated with Behaviour Interactive.

The day has six puzzles. In Killer mode you type any killer's name and get a row of seven cells: gender, origin, power type, movement speed, terror radius, height and release year. Green is a match; an orange origin means a licensed killer from a different franchise, an orange power type the same broad family of power; arrows show whether speed, terror radius and year are higher or lower. Silhouette starts on a dark, blurred killer render, and Power hides one killer's power icon behind sixteen tiles. Survivor and Perk do the same for the survivors, with a blurred portrait and a signature perk icon. Map starts on a close-up of a realm and zooms out after each miss.

There is no guess limit and no game over: the score is the number of tries, and a share grid shows it without spoilers. Two bonus modes have their own daily answers: Killer Challenge, where a guess uncovers only one cell of its row, and Map Challenge, with a tighter crop, drained colour and a slower zoom. Solving one puzzle a day keeps a streak going, an archive replays past days, and groups and private matches let friends play the same puzzles.

It suits Dead by Daylight players who know both sides of the roster and the realms, and it takes longer than a one-puzzle daily. It runs in the browser, can be added to a phone's home screen, and keeps progress without an account.
