The Casting of Frank Stone™ is a narrative-driven horror adventure developed by Supermassive Games and published by Behaviour Interactive. Released on September 3, 2024, the game expands the lore of the Dead by Daylight universe while delivering the cinematic storytelling style for which Supermassive Games is known.
The story takes place in the small town of Cedar Hills, Oregon, a community haunted by the violent legacy of a mysterious killer named Frank Stone. Decades after Stone's crimes, a group of young aspiring filmmakers enters an abandoned steel mill to create an independent horror movie. What begins as a creative project soon turns into a nightmare as they uncover horrifying secrets tied to the town's past.
Like previous Supermassive titles such as Until Dawn and The Quarry, gameplay revolves around exploration, dialogue choices, quick-time events, and branching story paths. Every decision can dramatically alter relationships, reveal new information, or determine who survives until the end of the story.
The narrative spans multiple timelines, connecting events from different decades and gradually revealing how Frank Stone became linked to the terrifying realm controlled by the Entity, the supernatural force central to Dead by Daylight lore. Players uncover clues, examine environments, and piece together a mystery that affects generations of characters.
A major feature of the game is its emphasis on consequences. Choices made during conversations, exploration sequences, and action scenes can permanently alter the story. Characters may live, die, or experience radically different outcomes depending on player actions. This branching structure encourages replayability and multiple playthroughs.
Visually, the game utilizes Unreal Engine 5 to deliver highly detailed character models, cinematic lighting, and atmospheric environments. The abandoned steel mill, dark forests, and supernatural locations create a tense and immersive horror atmosphere.
The game blends psychological horror, supernatural mystery, and slasher-inspired storytelling. While newcomers can enjoy the story independently, fans of Dead by Daylight will recognize numerous references, lore connections, and insights into the Entity's influence over killers and victims.
Overall, The Casting of Frank Stone™ offers a cinematic horror experience focused on storytelling, player choice, and suspense, serving as both a standalone adventure and a major expansion of the Dead by Daylight universe.
