Plenty of video games have elements of mystery in their narrative – that feeling of unraveling something ambiguous can be a highly effective means to motivate a player to see the end of a story – but it takes something special to truly evoke the feeling that you are a real detective.

Dead by Daylight previously announced a special Resident Evil crossover. Today, developer Behaviour Interactive shared all of the proper details.
