Daybreak

Daybreak is a 1v8 asymmetric horror game on Roblox by DaybreakDev, directly inspired by Dead by Daylight and launched in May 2021. One player takes the role of the Killer while up to eight Survivors repair generators and attempt to escape before being eliminated. With over 47 million visits, 313K favorites, and 44 active codes - one of the highest active-code counts on Roblox - Daybreak is the definitive Dead by Daylight-style experience on the platform, set apart by full voice acting and a roster of 38 named Survivor characters and 13 Killers.

The core loop places both sides under constant opposing pressure. Survivors must coordinate across three roles while the Killer adapts to disruption and tracks down stragglers:

• ⚔️ Killer abilities - three slots per Killer: an Active Ability (manually triggered), a Passive Ability (activates automatically under set conditions), and a Detect Ability (reveals Survivor positions)
• ⚔️ Generator repair - Survivors must fix all generators to trigger the escape route; any generator left unrepaired means no escape
• 🎭 Survivor archetypes - Gen Rushers prioritize fast repair, Supporters revive downed teammates, and Loopers distract the Killer with circular evasion patterns; six character stats define each character's aptitude for each role
• 💎 Archives lore system - each named character has a narrative backstory unlocked through play; every Survivor and Killer in the roster has their story documented in the Archives
• 💰 Gems and Coins - Gems are the premium soft currency earned from codes and gameplay, spent on cosmetic draws via Draw Vouchers; Coins are the standard match currency from daily tasks
• ⏳ Season 2: Remisted - Daybreak 2 launched April 2026 with a 2v8 mode featuring two Killers versus eight Survivors, high-level matchmaking lobbies, and new character skins

Full voice acting sets Daybreak apart from nearly every other Roblox game in the asymmetric horror genre. Prestige progression per character awards Capable badges at Prestige 1, giving long-term players a roster-wide achievement goal across all 38 Survivors and 13 Killers.

Daybreak is the benchmark entry point for asymmetric horror on Roblox - players looking for the most polished, continuously updated 1v8 experience with a large named cast will find more depth here than any comparable title.
