The Entity is the greater antagonist behind the curtain of the Dead by Daylight universe, or rather omniverse.

When you're back inside the mansion in 2024, there are lots more Easter eggs to unearth.

3 Stan's Bloodpoint And Lery's Memorial Institute Reference

Stan is a huge admirer of Linda Castle's horror movies that she directed, and upon getting to meet her at Gerant Manor, he starts listing off the titles of all the movies like the obsessed fan that he is.

Bloodpoints are red triangular tokens that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:are earned through different means, and the amount you'll spend on Unlockables, like add-ons, items, or perks, from your character's Bloodweb will depend on the rarity.
