Dead by Daylight has long been Behaviour Interactive's baby, but they haven't had great PR this year. This week we take a look back at the year we've had, from the buggy Walking Dead release to the health update for the health update and beyond. We also discuss how BHVR has become a "one-hit wonder" studio, as all of its other developed games hadn't received the reception they had hoped for.

Stranger Things is returning to the Fog with Henry Creel (also known as 001 and 'Vecna') as the killer. While we don't yet know his power or the survivors, we discuss our hopes for this chapter. At the same time, we address the mixed criticism of Stranger Things getting a sequel chapter, such as having two Vecnas, the lackluster quality of life initiative, and controversial actors associated with the show.
