For those of you that might not know, Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer horror game where one player gets to don the mantle of the monstrous killer, while the four others have to do their very best to not become a colorful stain on the floor. It is a relatively simply concept, but if the Steam reviews are to be believed it is one that has been realized with a surprising degree of quality.
So if this sounds like something you might enjoy, you'll be glad to hear that Dead by Daylight is free-to-play on Steam for the next two days. All you need to do is head over to its Steam Store page and click that shiny "Play Game" button, after which you'll just need to wait for the download to finish before getting yourself sliced and diced.

As with the previously released DLCs, Bloodfall brings with it three new maps (Empyrian, Boneyard, and Outbreak), Spectre Pinky as a playable demon, a new weapon (a big ol' grenade launcher) and an equipment item, as well as a whole host of other minor changes and additions. If you're interested in seeing all of this in action, here's the recently posted and action-packed trailer:

There have already been numerous balance changes, new hero additions, new maps, and naturally, a bunch of cosmetics to collect.
The most recent update is no different in this regard given that it brings with it a brand new hero by the name of Pestilus (inspired by Bloodline Champion's Blood Priest), a greatly improved ranking system, a bunch of winter cosmetics, and naturally, some balance changes to round everything up. But first things first, here's the preview video showcasing Pestilus in all of his bulbous glory:
