## About This Content

_Darkness Among Us_ is a brand-new Chapter for Dead by Daylight, which
includes a new Killer, a Survivor and a Map. Purchasing the Darkness Among Us
DLC will unlock its new Killer, new Survivor, and an exclusive item for the
new survivor.

The everyday contains many hazards. But the comforts of routine shroud the
unfathomable risks of a threat so intimate, so familiar, that it can only be
seen in hindsight. A disturbing, violent force could be raging within the
people closest to you. Darkness is among us, every day.

The raw cravings and impulses of adolescence are powerful. The desire to
belong can be just as unbelievably strong. When three teens get involved with
an impulsive mastermind, they discover an addictive kind of freedom. Together,
they spiral out of control and become the wrong kind of crowd, The Legion,
leaving no rule unbroken. The Darkness Among Us chapter includes Frank and
Julie as playable killers.

Jeff Johansen was invited to take a trip down memory lane when his past caught
up with him. He returned to his hometown, ready to face everything he had been
forced to leave behind. But the familiar isn’t always safe, and it’s never too
late to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

## The Legion
Frank’s future was as bleak as his childhood was miserable. To break free from
his boring, aimless life in Ormond, Frank manipulated a group of friends and
led them to break every rule. The Legion is a group of agile Killers able to
catch Survivors off-guard with their power, Feral Frenzy. The _Darkness Among
Us_ chapter includes Frank and Julie as playable killers.

The Legion’s Power: Feral Frenzy

Violent impulses are within us and building incrementally, for some, to a
tipping point. They were a plain group of friends until they met Frank, who
turned them into a Legion. Now they draw power from the thrilling insane
freedom of not abiding by any rule but their own.

The Legion use their power, Feral Frenzy, to hunt down their victim. When
activating Feral Frenzy, The Legion enter a deadly rage allowing them to
sprint and vault over pallets at the cost of lowered senses.

\- In Feral Frenzy, hitting a Survivor afflicts them with the Deep Wound
status effect which slowly but surely bleeds them dry if they don’t mend.

\- Hitting a Survivor while in Feral Frenzy replenishes The Legion’s entire
power gauge, and triggers Killer Instinct, an ability that helps locate other
Survivors nearby.

The Legion comes with 3 new perks.
## Discordance
Any time 2 Survivors or more are working on the same Generator, the
Generator’s aura is highlighted in white for a limited time.
## Mad Grit
While carrying a Survivor, you suffer no cooldown for missed attacks and
hitting another Survivor pauses the carried Survivor’s wiggle timer.
## Iron Maiden
You open lockers faster. When a Survivor exits a locker, they emit a loud
noise and suffer from the Exposed status effect for a limited time.

## The Artist with a Heart of Gold

Born and raised in Ormond, Alberta, Jeff Johansen grew up as a quiet, only
child with an aversion for large crowds. During high school, his anxious
temper was mislabelled as shyness, which he covered up with a tough, stoic
persona that intimidated bullies and teachers alike.
At home, he collected heavy metal vinyl albums. The evocative symbolism on the
covers inspired him to make art of his own, which helped him cope with his
parents’ constant fighting.
After his parents’ divorce, he was forced to move with his mother to Winkler,
Manitoba, miles away from his hometown–and his dad. In Winkler, Jeff was more
isolated than ever, except for art and music. His solace came shortly after
graduating high school when he started working at a local bar with live music.
He found a roadie gig shortly after and left Winkler for good.
After an incident at a concert, he reoriented himself and started designing
labels for microbreweries. He led a quiet, simple life brewing beer, designing
tattoos, and making art for bands he liked.
All until one morning, when he got a phone call from Ormond saying that his
father had passed, leaving a few things to sort out. Jeff returned to the home
he left behind, but he should have never looked back.
Jeff’s personal perks, Breakdown, Aftercare, and Distortion, allow him to
break hooks, cooperate with other Survivors, and conceal his aura from The
Killer.

Jeff Johansen comes with 3 new perks.
## Breakdown
Any time you are removed from a hook (escaped or saved), the hook breaks and
the Killer’s aura is shown to you for a limited time.
## Aftercare
A 2-way link is created between you and the other survivors whether you
interact with them while unhooking or after successfully healing each other.
You can create a limited amount of links with other Survivors. Existing links
will not be replaced until they are removed. If you are hooked by The Killer,
all your existing links with other Survivors are removed.
## Distortion
You start the Trial with 3 tokens. When your aura would be shown to the
killer, the perk activates and a token is consumed. For a limited time, while
the perk is activated, your aura will not be shown to the Killer.

## Exclusive Item for Jeff
The Darkness Among Us Chapter includes an exclusive item: Jeff’s In the Shadow
of Death shirt, only available as part of the DLC.
Please note that this item cannot be purchased separately.

## New Map: Mount Ormond Resort

Welcome to Ormond, Alberta. Population: six thousand ninety-three. Surrounded
by an impressive mountain range, Ormond’s ski slopes showed promise for a
lucrative coal mining venture. The environmentally controversial nature of the
project, however, brought the enterprise to an abrupt stop, which left deep
scars on Ormond’s landscape and population. The hollowed summit of Mount
Ormond now looms over desolate patches of dead trees, a soulful, deforested
graveyard where gangs and teenagers go looking for trouble. Some people say
that the mountain hides a darkness, a bottomless hole from where no one can
return. The abandoned ski facilities still remind the inhabitants of a past
that never was. It is a place of broken promises and devastated nature. The
stale air worsens during winter, when the rough winds drape a heavy blanket of
isolation over the bleak landscape.
_ “The town will leave you with a deep sense of peace. Yet, few ever return.”

## Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
_ Dead by Daylight is an action-horror game in which players engage in
multiplayer matches as either a killer or one of four survivors. Survivors
emit splashes of blood when attacked and leave pools of blood on the ground
when injured. As the killer, players must find the survivors, from a first-
person perspective, before they escape each level. Killers can use various
weapons (e.g., chainsaws, cattle hammers, bone saws) and/or hang survivors on
meat hooks to kill them. Killers can also perform various finishing attacks
(e.g., throat ripping, disemboweling, chainsaw impalement) to kill wounded
survivors; in rare instances, red chunks of flesh are depicted during death
animations. _
