Dead by Daylight's board game just became playable solo and at two players. Level 99 Games has announced the Auris Box, a major expansion heading to Gamefound on 16 June that adds three new ways to play alongside fresh content for existing fans.

Set up your group for freeFor anyone unfamiliar, Dead by Daylight: The Board Game is a one-versus-many asymmetric survival game where one player controls a killer hunting survivors across a modular map, while the other players work together to escape. It originally crowdfunded in 2022 from Level 99 Games (the studio behind BattleCON and Exceed) and Behaviour Interactive, the developer of the hit video game.
Until now, you needed at least three people to play. The Auris Box changes that with three new formats. Survive Alone strips the game down to a dedicated two-player duel between one killer and one survivor. Survive Together lets a team of survivors face off against an automated killer, removing the need for someone to play the villain. And Kill Alone puts a solo player in control of the killer stalking four AI survivors. That last mode is the one fans have been requesting loudest.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksThe expansion also packs a new playable killer called the Houndmaster, a new survivor named Taurie Cain, two new maps, and a new campaign. The Gamefound campaign runs for four weeks starting 16 June, timed to coincide with the Dead by Daylight video game's tenth anniversary on 14 June.
If you have been eyeing the DbD board game but lacked the group to play it, the Auris Box removes that barrier.
