All Dead By Daylight Easter Eggs in The Casting Of Frank Stone

This list contains potential spoilers, so it’s best to complete at least one playthrough before proceeding. With that in mind, let’s dive into the Dead By Daylight references identified in The Casting Of Frank Stone.

Eerily Familiar Sound Design

The audio elements and sound design stand out as some of the most notable easter eggs:

The sound heard when a character picks up an item mirrors the noise from Dead By Daylight.
The skill check noise is reused for characters repairing a generator or executing difficult timed moves.
As Chris retrieves the bunny mask in the Curiosity Shop, the Huntress Lullaby can be heard playing faintly.
Much of the background noise closely resembles that of Dead By Daylight.
The piano tune played by Maddi in the manor aligns with the Survivor theme in DBD.
As the final campfire scene concludes, the iconic game start sound can be heard.

Crows, Crows, and More Crows!

Crows play a significant role in Dead By Daylight, often revealing a player’s location when startled. Should a Survivor remain idle, the crows circle overhead, cawing ominously. Their presence is also notable in The Casting Of Frank Stone.

A stuffed crow appears in the Curiosity Shop during the teens’ search for a new camera. Others can be heard, simultaneously creepy and charming, in the woods as the group explores for the first time. Challenge yourself to spot all the crow references in your next gameplay!

Cuddly Killer Relliks

Among the more prominent Dead By Daylight references are the Killer dolls, known as Relliks, scattered across the game. Players can find a total of 12, each representing a Killer from Dead By Daylight. While characters may react with disgust or fear toward these unassuming dolls, many DBD fans find them endearing, especially those with pull strings that produce sounds or light up.

Pallets, Gens, and Lockers, Oh My!

While there are no actual lockers for hiding, the design of wooden trinket boxes will likely seem familiar. This subtle detail is complemented by the presence of pallets to maneuver and generators to repair, complete with skill checks. Engaging in skill checks while assembling parts in a generator is enjoyable, though players might wish for more repair opportunities!

The Hillbilly

Billy, a character known as King of the Zoomies, makes several appearances in The Casting Of Frank Stone. He is referenced in various locations within Gerant Manor, from the clock statue to a diorama used during a puzzle. A painting of his mother is displayed on the wall, and his weapon is featured among the trinkets. Additionally, Hillbilly is the first Rellik doll players discover while exploring the mill during chapter 1.

The Hatch

Upon reaching Frank Stone’s lair, players will find an open hatch ready for use. This hatch, a staple of Dead By Daylight gameplay, amusingly appears in The Casting Of Frank Stone. However, it would have been nice to see additional references to the hatch throughout the game.

Scratchmarks

This easter egg may go unnoticed if players don’t look behind them during the initial scene with Maddi. In this dream setting, Maddi meanders through the forest, leaving a trail of red scratch marks, which typically signify a Survivor in motion in Dead By Daylight. This marks the exclusive appearance of scratch marks in The Casting Of Frank Stone.

Killer Easter Eggs

Numerous subtle nods to Dead By Daylight Killers are woven throughout The Casting Of Frank Stone, found in Relliks, Trinkets, and artifacts collected by Augustine. These references occasionally pop up in conversations or are hidden throughout the environment:

Wraith’s weapon (above) in the Curiosity Shop.
Huntress bunny mask in the Curiosity Shop and Augustine’s museum.
Legion’s smiley pin in the Curiosity Shop.
The Artist portrait in the Gerant Manor atrium.
A portrait of The Trapper’s father, Archie MacMillan, in Gerant Manor.
A mention of Lery’s Institute, the former workplace of The Doctor.

Death & Sacrifice

No horror game would be complete without the themes of death and sacrifice. In Dead By Daylight, Survivors often end up ensnared, killed by the Killer’s hand, or claimed by the Entity when the timer expires. The Casting Of Frank Stone showcases these chilling moments multiple times, especially for those players who experience some unfortunate luck.
