It's an asymmetrical horror game with a Killer and 4 Survivors put into a match. Killers try to hunt down Survivors while they repair generators to leave.

If you REALLY want to get into this game, then I'll tell you what you're getting into. DBD is a buggy mess, first and foremost. Every patch has some form of texture or mechanical bug somewhere. You're going to see glitches. You're also going to see balance all over the place. Some mechanics are way too powerful while others are just fairly weak, and many things in between. The game isn't free by a long shot. Many of the characters are locked behind a hefty grind for a currency or 5 USD per character, and many of them can have good perks so either get ready to grind or cough up money.

If you can look past those issues (and more I didn't include) this game can be fun. Killer can be a STRESSFUL time but when it works out, you can have a fun time regardless of results. It gets infinitely better with friends as you laugh about the BS the game throws at you and in the end, it's just a beautiful game where you can see Leon Kennedy throwdown with Freddy Kreuger while Laurie tries to repair a generator in Midwich Elementary School. What's not to love?

Starting off, the story of the game is great. A lot of nice themes and I love how much they explore the characters. Each character really feels alive and feels like their own person, like you can actually believe they existed. And for me, they can be extremely relatable in the context of the overarching story. Plus the art and music was well done, I loved almost everything about this game.

Almost everything though. The biggest issue with the game is the pacing for sure. Many places overstay their welcome and although I don't think you need to grind for anything, it can be difficult to keep going with this game when you stay in the same area for like 1-2 hours longer than you realistically need to. And the battle system has the same issue of Persona where the magic and skills become mute if you just spam attack and get it over with. They become mostly important in the boss battles/bigger battles, which is great because although Omori's emotion system is simple, I think it works pretty well in these types of fights.

Overall, it's a great game, but can drag on a little too long. If it's on sale and you're interested from seeing the trailers, give it a shot. :)
