Daybreak is a one versus eight asymmetrical horror game where you either play as the ruthless killer or as a team-oriented survivor. Each killer and survivor have their own unique ability and statistics. As a killer, you have to kill at least four out of eight survivors before they escape in a match to win. As a survivor, you must complete eight out of ten generators to power the two gates, so you can escape. You are spawned with seven randomized survivors out of the cast.
