During today’s 8th Anniversary livestream for Dead by Daylight, developer Behaviour Interactive announced and released What the Fog, a co-op spin-off shooter. The best part is that for a limited time, you can get the game for free on PC.
The Dead by Daylight developer released What the Fog for free to anyone with a Behaviour Interactive account. It’s a silly, cutesier title set in the Dead by Daylight universe, dropping players into a cursed board game. Once inside, you’ve got to fight your way through each level, collecting Bloodpoints and repairing generators in order to progress to the next level and escape.
Dead by Daylight’s What the Fog spin-off is free on Steam
What the Fog is free on PC for a limited time to anyone with a Behaviour Interactive account. Don’t worry if you haven’t signed up already. You can register for an account today, get the game, and start playing on Steam. The registration process is incredibly simple and will help you in the future if you ever want to claim Amazon Prime Gaming goodies for Dead by Daylight.
While What the Fog is free right now, it won’t be forever. The game is a free gift to fans who have supported Behaviour Interactive over the last eight years, so it wanted to give the game to them in the most direct way it could. After this initial period of free availability, What the Fog will cost $4.99/£4.99 on Steam.
Behaviour Interactive offered a press preview of the co-op shooter last week, and it looks like a lot of fun, especially for those who hate the horror of Dead by Daylight. Compared to its source material, it’s lighthearted, with adorable visuals and an enjoyable roguelike gameplay loop that’s built for quick sessions between friends.
The focus of this game really is on playing with someone else. You can help each other complete tasks and defeat enemies, but there’s also a dedicated support mode to ensure you’re never left on the sidelines, even after death.
Behaviour Interactive told the press that What the Fog is a complete package, similar to how Hooked on You was at launch. There are currently no plans for post-launch support. However, the developer did state that if there’s a huge demand for more content in the game, it can’t be ignored and may need to be addressed. This includes bringing the game to consoles because, right now, the plan is for it to be PC-exclusive.
