    Played this for about an hour. I'll probably play it again to get achievements, but there are a few things you should know before you buy it: - First, it's abandoned. Don't buy it thinking there is going to be more characters or maps, there isn't. - Second, there is no immersion. The maps and monsters feel like they have nothing to do with dead by daylight. Basically this feels like a completely different game and …

    I had fun playing with a friend but I really wish they would've included more characters, even as updates later or DLC. Only having 2 characters and a couple enemies/bosses means this should really be free. I got it for free by linking my BHVR account on their website. I don't think its really worth $5, and even at 50% off you absolutely need a friend who wants to buy and play it with you. Single player is terribly …

    Review: Leo Colovini creates clever games in which players have to balance public and private information to make good choices in a shared environment. What The Fog?!, released by 999 Games in late 2024, is the latest such design from him. Learn how to play: boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp... —WEM

    Huge disappointment on this one! I bought it thinking it's some nice 3rd person action game with light story and exploration. What you actually get is battler where you shoot waves of enemies in closed area similar to "survivor" games. Small number of weapons available. Characters are funko pop figurines with big heads. Controls not the best too. I would say skip and put your hard earned coins on something better!

    What The Fog had potential, but BHVR released it over 1 years ago and has barely done anything meaningful since. Instead, it’s just been constant cash grabs with no real improvements or fixes. Feels like they don’t care about this game at all.

    From the amount of time I have spent playing this, I did enjoy it. I'm just disappointed at the absolute lack of new updates since it's release. Like where are the new playable characters? With the wide roster of original survivors in the original game Dead By Daylight, I would have thought we'd have gotten Jake, Nea, Kate, Mikayla, Yun-Jin, David and Sable by now! Get you stuff together already BHVR!

    Wow. You know how people say Lacroix flavored water tastes like its been in the proximity of fruit but never touched it? That's this game. It's like someone (and I literally mean one person) developed this game with DBD lore fed to them via a game of 500 person telephone. And that one person thought Seeing Red and Steven Universe should be the prime inspiration for the art style of this game. 3 characters total. 1 with the longest reputation of being widely disliked.

    It had potential... but no, it's bad. It's really bad and super undercooked. There were only ever updates within the first 10 days after launch (as of the time of this review, over a year after the launch), and it's since seemingly been completely abandoned. I don't recommend this, not even for achievement hunting. You need another person to play it with to get all the achievements. It just isn't worth the time and effort, especially when the game has been left out to rot on it's own, stale,…

    While it has nothing to do with Dead by Daylight except that they reskinned a fantasy roguelike game with Dead by Daylight characters, generators, and currency, the game is a lot of fun. Dwight is a mage, Claudette is a hunter, and Feng is a warrior. It will be fun to see if they continue to add more Dead by Daylight characters and what random fantasy roles they will give them. More content would be nice, because it is currently sitting at a 6-8 hour 100%

    I don't really have to think while playing this game, it feels a bit too mindless. Also, upon doing some research I found that this game was never even intended to be a DBD game, it was changed last minute. Overall it feels a bit shady, like BHVR wanted a quick cash grab and decided to just slap some DBD branding on a random game to make a quick buck.

Per Rougelike logic, as soon as you get an item combo or 5+ of one, your little Dwight will suddenly explode EVERYTHING in its path. First run was a win, and a fun one at that.

    Pretty fun little game sorta set in the DBD verse (mainly just the 3 survivors, generators, and Trapper's mask you jump through to escape), though I like to think the Entity creates little worlds like this when it wants something different other than trials. The levels are repetitive, as are the monsters, but honestly, you get what you pay for with this game and if you don't mind that sort of thing, you'll probably get a few hours out of this. Personally, I would've liked to see some actual…
