Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game released in 2016, in which one player controls a killer hunting four survivors across a map. Its tense chase music, including the killer theme used in this clip, became closely associated with the feeling of being hunted in the game. As gameplay clips, streams and horror edits spread on YouTube and TikTok, the cue travelled beyond the game itself. It remains popular because it instantly signals danger, pursuit and an approaching threat, even to viewers who have never played.
