Players of The Casting Of Frank Stone will undoubtedly notice the game’s myriad references to Dead By Daylight. Set in the same universe, both games share numerous elements that enhance the gaming experience. Read on to uncover all the Dead By Daylight easter eggs found in The Casting Of Frank Stone thus far!
All Dead By Daylight Easter Eggs in The Casting Of Frank Stone
Please note that this list contains potential spoilers, so it’s advisable to complete at least one playthrough before proceeding. With that said, let’s dive into the Dead By Daylight references in The Casting Of Frank Stone.
Eerily Familiar Sound Design
The game’s audio cues and sound design present some of the finest easter eggs:
- When a character picks up an item, players hear the same sound from Dead By Daylight.
- If a character repairs a generator or executes a timed move, the familiar skill check noise is utilized.
- As Chris finds the bunny mask in the Curiosity Shop, the Huntress Lullaby plays quietly in the background.
- Much of the background sounds echo the ambience found in Dead By Daylight.
- The piano tune played by Maddi in the manor is the Survivor theme from DBD.
- As the final campfire scene wraps up, the game’s starting noise is heard.
Crows, Crows, and More Crows!
Crows play a significant role in Dead By Daylight, often leading to the discovery of a player’s position as they react to Survivors and Killers. If a Survivor is idle, crows will circle above them. These feathery nuisances are prevalent throughout Dead By Daylight, making their appearances in The Casting Of Frank Stone fitting.
In the Curiosity Shop, a stuffed crow is visible when the teens look for a new camera. Others can be heard making both eerie and playful sounds in the surrounding woods as the group explores for the first time. Challenge yourself to spot all the crow references during your gameplay.
Cuddly Killer Relliks
A prominent reference to DBD includes the Killer doll Relliks that players can find across the game. Collecting all 12 dolls reveals unique nods to Dead By Daylight’s Killers. While the in-game characters react with fear or confusion at these dolls, many DBD fans find them endearing, especially those that make sounds or light up.
Pallets, Gens, and Lockers, Oh My!
Although there are no lockers to hide in, the design of the wooden trinket boxes is eerily familiar. The presence of pallets you can move and generators to repair (complete with skill checks!) compensates for this. Successfully completing skill checks while fixing generators is entertaining, but players may wish for more opportunities to engage in gen repair.
The Hillbilly
Billy, the King of the Zoomies, is referenced frequently throughout The Casting Of Frank Stone. He can be found in multiple locations within Gerant Manor, from a clock statue to a diorama that aids in puzzle-solving. Additionally, a painting of his mother adorns the wall, and one of his weapon trinkets is featured. Hillbilly also appears as the first Rellik doll that players discover in the mill during chapter 1.
The Hatch
When players are ready to make the leap from Frank Stone’s lair, an open hatch awaits. As a staple of Dead By Daylight, the emergency escape hatch had to make an appearance in The Casting Of Frank Stone, and while amusing, it’s a pity it was the only hatch reference.
Scratchmarks
One notable Dead By Daylight easter egg can easily go unnoticed if the player doesn’t look back during their first encounter with Maddi. In the dream world, Maddi travels through the forest, leaving behind a trail of red scratch marks, typically appearing when a Survivor runs in Dead By Daylight. This scene marks the only instance of scratch marks seen in The Casting Of Frank Stone!
Killer Easter Eggs
Many subtle references to Dead By Daylight Killers appear in The Casting Of Frank Stone, featured in Relliks, Trinkets, and artifacts collected by Augustine. These Killers are also occasionally mentioned by characters or hidden within the environment:
- Wraith’s weapon displayed in the Curiosity Shop.
- Huntress’s bunny mask found in the Curiosity Shop and Augustine’s museum.
- Legion’s smiley pin located in the Curiosity Shop.
- A portrait of The Artist in the Gerant Manor atrium.
- A portrait of The Trapper’s father, Archie MacMillan, found in Gerant Manor.
- A reference to Lery’s Institute where The Doctor was known to work.
Death & Sacrifice
No horror game is complete without some death and sacrifices. Typically, if they fail to escape, Dead By Daylight Survivors face grim fates—such as being hung like Bonnie (above), slaughtered by the Killer, or captured by the Entity when the timer runs out. In The Casting Of Frank Stone, players encounter these chilling moments multiple times, particularly if luck is not on their side.
