:'' Main article: [[Steam Trading Cards]]''

''Dead by Daylight'' contains a number of '''Steam Trading Cards''', which are virtual cards earned by playing the game on [http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards Steam]. After collecting all trading cards, a badge can then be crafted and the player will receive: the next badge level, Steam XP, potential profile backgrounds, and emoticons. Steam Trading Cards can be obtained through playing the game, in which the player will receive free card-drops over a period of time, as well as buying them from the Steam Marketplace, or by trading with other players.

== Trivia ==
  +
=== Theme Music ===
  +
* The ''Dead by Daylight'' Theme is centred around a four-note sequence of E-flat, D, E-flat, and C.
  +
** This sequence marks the beginning of the ''Dies Irae'' (Latin for ''"The Day of Wrath"''), a sequence originating in Gregorian plainchant.
  +
** In history, the ''Dies Irae'' motif is most commonly found in Requiems, a Mass for the Dead or for Funerals.
  +
** In contemporary times, it is often used as a theme or musical quotation in conjunction with settings and symbols of death and mortality.
  +
** The motif is present in all Chapter themes (except Ghost Face), though transposed to suit different instruments.
  +
* After the release of the [[Curtain Call]] DLC, all Chapters received a unique new Theme Music that would play in the Main Menu
  +
** The Theme usually remains as the default until the release of the following Mid-Chapter Patch, which would revert the music back to the original theme.
  +
** In addition to new Chapters, certain Events also have theme songs associated with them that would play in the Main Menu for the duration of the Event in question.
  +
  +
==== Instruments ====
  +
* A Chapter's Theme music often revolves around a particular trope or general theme present in the Chapter in regards to the selected instruments.
  +
* An Event's Theme follows this same principle, reflecting the mood and feel of said Event.
  +
** The following list attempts to highlight the main instruments used in a Theme, with the instrument playing the ''Dies Irae'' motif highlighted in '''{{clr|14|gold}}'''.<br>This information is '''''{{clr|8|not}}''''' official and was compiled at the discretion of the editors:

Dead by Daylight is an indie horror game developed and published by Behaviour Digital Inc.. Dead by Daylight is both an action and survival horror multiplayer game in which one crazed, unstoppable Killer hunts down four Survivors through a terrifying nightmarish world in a deadly game of Cat & Mouse. It was released on 14 June 2016 for PC, 20 June 2017 for Xbox One and PS4, 24 September 2019 for Switch and 16 April 2020 for Mobile.


Overview

  • As a Survivor, go in alone or team up with friends to face an unknown threat. Use Items at hand, Unlocked Abilities and Environmental Objects to outwit the monster and escape from its killing ground.
  • Set in a procedurally generated World, you'll never know what to expect, what you're facing and how to get away. You will have to make stressful choices under desperate circumstances. Every decision impacts your chances of survival.
  • Killers come from all horror genres, from brutal slashers to terrifying paranormal entities. Master these monsters' unique powers and exploit the knowledge of your “home” to track, hunt down, break and sacrifice your victims before they get a chance to escape to safety.
  • The asymmetry, procedural factors and unique thinking of human individuals make each Dead by Daylight match an unexpected scenario where the combined behaviour of each player creates a truly terrifying and thrilling narrative.
  • Dead by Daylight Characters each have a deep progression and Unlockables which can be customized into your own personal strategy. Use your experience, Skills and load-out to climb up the competitive ladder and you might eventually discover the truth beyond the fog.

Trivia

Theme Music

  • The Dead by Daylight Theme is centred around a four-note sequence of E-flat, D, E-flat, and C.
    • This sequence marks the beginning of the Dies Irae (Latin for "The Day of Wrath"), a sequence originating in Gregorian plainchant.
    • In history, the Dies Irae motif is most commonly found in Requiems, a Mass for the Dead or for Funerals.
    • In contemporary times, it is often used as a theme or musical quotation in conjunction with settings and symbols of death and mortality.
    • The motif is present in all Chapter themes (except Ghost Face), though transposed to suit different instruments.
  • After the release of the Curtain Call DLC, all Chapters received a unique new Theme Music that would play in the Main Menu
    • The Theme usually remains as the default until the release of the following Mid-Chapter Patch, which would revert the music back to the original theme.
    • In addition to new Chapters, certain Events also have theme songs associated with them that would play in the Main Menu for the duration of the Event in question.

Instruments

  • A Chapter's Theme music often revolves around a particular trope or general theme present in the Chapter in regards to the selected instruments.
  • An Event's Theme follows this same principle, reflecting the mood and feel of said Event.
    • The following list attempts to highlight the main instruments used in a Theme, with the instrument playing the Dies Irae motif highlighted in gold.

File Cryptonyms
