The Casting of Frank Stone™

similarly to other reviews, I got softlocked in a room where NPCs blocked the doorway. It is an absolute blocker and it blows my mind that this has not been fixed years after release. You literally have to restart the entire playthrough. 0/10 waste of money and time

[h1]Don't be sad, Uncle Frank, we’re waiting for you to drop as a Killer!![/h1] [i]As a DBD fan, I had a goosebumps digging into the lore of the universe and finding all the easter eggs. But honestly, if you take those out, the game is pretty mid.[/i] [h3][i]Story.[/i][/h3] The game runs two parallel timelines: one following a group of teens shooting a horror movie in the past, and another with a group of people meeting at a mansion in the future. The story is honestly weak. It’s full of plot holes and things left unexplained, and the storytelling feels rushed and disjointed. Supermassive usually makes narrative games with deep stories that you need to replay a couple of times to fully wrap your head around. But here, even a replay won't clear up most of the secrets :c Guess we just have to wait for the sequel( [h3][i]Gameplay.[/i][/h3] Now, this part actually delivered. Exploring the locations is fun, the difficulty and the amount of fights are perfectly balanced, and there's a ton of collectibles to hunt down. The puzzles and the video camera mechanics are cool. They even let us repair generators, just like we love to do :D [h3][i]Visuals.[/i][/h3] I absolutely fell in love w…

I went into The Casting of Frank Stone without ever playing Dead by Daylight, although I knew the basic premise and had seen some of it before. After finishing it, I understand what the game is trying to do as a prequel and a way of expanding the DBD universe, but unfortunately, I just don't think it's a very good game. There are moments where the horror atmosphere genuinely works, but the game rarely makes you feel like you're actually in constant danger. A lot of the gameplay boils down to keeping Frank Stone in frame for a few seconds whenever the camera lights up, which gets old pretty quickly. The dialogue is often mediocre, the animations can be pretty rough, and some transitions between scenes completely break the pacing. The technical issues don't help either. I also wasn't a fan of the choices and how they affect the characters. I don't mind choices having serious consequences, but I want to understand what led to them. Losing a character because of one decision that felt impossible to predict was more frustrating than satisfying. I can appreciate what the game is trying to accomplish for the Dead by Daylight universe, but as a standalone game, it simply didn't deliver…

I LOVED THIS GAME!!! Slow start but phenomenal story and a total mind ♥♥♥♥. I’m so hype for this chapter to come out in DBD, I yearn for Linda/Sam survivor but regardless Frank stone is a beautiful creation. Don’t get the hate behind this game.

:(

story is pretty good, don't know if the choice you made actually changes the story tho, didn't put too much effort in finding it out
