10 Video Game Spin-Offs Nobody Asked For (That Were AWESOME)

10. Hooked On You: A Dead By Daylight Dating Sim

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical online survival game where four players do their best to escape the fifth who is controlling one of the game’s many powerful killers. It’s known just as much for its crossover potential as it is for just how damn thirsty a portion of its fanbase is.

Asking the developers Behaviour Interactive to add promiscuity to Dead by Daylight became a community meme years ago and has persisted ever since. Even the people who are serious about such an idea scarcely expect it to actually happen. Most likely that they also didn’t anticipate that the developers would tip their hat to this themselves with a decidedly unexpected spin-off.

Dropping the player onto a desert island with four of the title’s original killers, the cute little $10 non-canon side-game Hooked on You is purely made for the giggles and allows the typically serious and violent nature of Dead by Daylight to take a rest in lieu of levity and fourth-wall breaking antics.

Whilst it might make some DBD’s most hardcore of fans hot under the collar, it’s also just silly, fluffy fun for just about anyone remotely aware of the characters as it pokes at the tropes of the genre and the franchise at large.
