In the least predictable spinoff possible, the asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight now has a dating sim where you can romance select killers from the main game. Hooked on You would have made a perfect April Fool's joke, and yet it's not only real, but it's a full-fledged dating sim — only instead of swooning over pretty boys and girls, you'll be trying to win the hearts of different ruthless monsters and murderers.
Dead by Daylight has been around since 2016 and has expanded its roster of killers to the dozens, including some of the biggest icons in horror like Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, and Pinhead. Unfortunately, not even all of the original characters are available to lust after in Hooked on You, instead giving you the chance to cozy up with just four: The Trapper, The Huntress, The Wraith, and The Spirit. If you have no idea where to begin in trying to romance these unique individuals, here's a guide on how to hook them all in Hooked on You.
