As a seasoned fan of Supermassive Games and a dedicated aficionado of horror-themed interactive experiences, I am absolutely thrilled about the release of the demo for “The Casting of Frank Stone”. Having played through “Until Dawn”, “The Dark Pictures Anthology”, and most recently, “The Quarry”, it’s clear that Supermassive knows how to craft gripping narratives that keep me on the edge of my seat.


The upcoming spin-off game titled “The Casting of Frank Stone,” developed by Supermassive, is now partially accessible following the release of a free demo. This demo was made available on Steam together with the official game trailer, which acts as a prequel to the multiplayer horror game “Dead by Daylight” where players aren’t allied.

Supermassive Games is renowned for creating horror games that resemble interactive films, giving players crucial decisions about the storyline which influence which characters live or die by the end. They initially gained recognition with their PS4 console exclusive title, “Until Dawn,” and later produced the horror series, “The Dark Pictures Anthology” and “The Quarry.”

Now, gamers can get a taste of Supermassive’s initial exploration within the Dead by Daylight universe through the fresh playable demo accessible on the Steam store for The Casting of Frank Stone. This demo allows players to guide Sam Green, a police officer, as he investigates a missing child report that eventually connects to the game’s Dead by Daylight environment.

Free Demo Gives DBD Fans Their First Taste of The Casting of Frank Stone

The demonstration of “The Casting of Frank Stone” offers fans a sneak peek into its appearance when it launches on September 3, but it’s important to note that advancements made in this demo will not transfer into the main game. However, the demo allows players to make various choices, each with potential different outcomes, adding significant replay value to it and hinting at what’s to come in the first story-focused title within the “Dead by Daylight” series.

In “The Casting of Frank Stone”, one exciting innovation is the introduction of the ‘cutting room floor’ mechanism, enabling players to re-evaluate certain decisions within each chapter without having to replay the whole episode multiple times. This feature offers a chance to explore various results stemming from distinct storyline choices and track an assortment of collectibles and references linked to the expanding “Dead by Daylight” universe more efficiently.

Despite mixed reception for some early games in the “The Dark Pictures Anthology,” Supermassive Games has shown impressive longevity with their choice-based horror game series. Not only did developer Behaviour Interactive entrust them with its top intellectual property, but Supermassive is also working on a remake of “Until Dawn” and a fresh installment in the “Dark Pictures” franchise.
