Dead by Daylight: Setting and Genre

The recent game I played is Dead by Daylight. It is an asymmetric survival horror video game developed by Behavior Interactive released in 2016.
Narrative: You either play as a killer or survivor in a randomly generated map. This is a multiplayer game so you can play with friends or random people.
Puzzle: As a Survivor, you have to work together with three other survivors to fix generators and open gates to escape. You can also find items in chest such as a medkit, flashlight, toolbox, hatch key or map. As a killer, you have to hack them all down and find hooks to hang their bodies until they get killed by the Entity shown above. You also can damage generators to put their repair progression back to 0.
Exploration: Dead by Daylight’s setting is a purgatory. There are several realms even ones from horror movies like The Saw or Silent Hill. You can be in the open like in a forest or field and/or in a building with up to three floors.
