Dead by Daylight Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Meg Thomas — LORE section misspells the character's name 'Laurie Strode' as 'Laurie Strobe'

Meg Thomas — Intro states Meg's hometown is 'often implied to be in Ohio', but official canon only specifies a generic 'small town' without confirming the state

Nea Karlsson — Launch Date: Dead by Daylight's official launch date was June 14, 2016, not May 2016.

Jake Park — Jake Park was not introduced in 'Chapter 2: Of Flesh and Mud'; he is a Base Game survivor available since Early Access launch (June 14, 2016). The Chapter system began with Chapter 1: A Nightmare on Elm Street in March 2017, and no chapter titled 'Of Flesh and

Jake Park — The lore sources 'The Survivor's Journal' and 'A Lullaby for the Sleepless' are not official Dead by Daylight canonical publications; Jake Park's backstory is conveyed through in-game Codex entries and Lore Entries found within the game.

The Entity — Describing the Trials as a 'twisted simulation' contradicts canon which establishes the Realm as a genuine metaphysical dimension where suffering and death are real.

The Entity — Claiming every Killer's power set is a manifestation of personal trauma ignores Crossover Killers whose powers are inherent to their original nature rather than derived from human trauma.

The Fog — Describing the Fog as 'sentient' contradicts canon where it is a manifestation of the Entity's will without independent consciousness.

The Fog — Claiming specific scents (rotting flesh/dust/cold) and excluding ozone lacks canonical consensus or source support, making it an invented detail.

The Realm of the Dead — Classification Error: 'The Realm of the Dead' is a dimension/location (The Fog/Entity's Realm), not a canonical Faction or Group.

The Realm of the Dead — Character Backstory Error: The Trapper originated from wealthy industrialists, not a cult; his obsession stems from family death due to negligence.

The Fog — Sentience attribution: The Entity is the sentient being; the Fog is generally described as a supernatural medium or barrier controlled by the Entity's will rather than being sentient itself.

The Fog — Fate of sacrificed souls: Souls that are sacrificed are sent to the Void (the Entity's domain) rather than remaining 'within The Fog' indefinitely.

The Obsession — The entry incorrectly implies 'The Obsession' is a specific Survivor character name in the roster, whereas it is actually a temporary role assigned to any Survivor during a Trial.

The Obsession — The entry incorrectly states that being designated as 'The Obsession' grants specific perks, whereas the status only enables specific mechanics and interactions without granting perks.
