The Dead by Daylight offshoot, The Audition of Frank Stone, now offers a playable teaser

If you're eager to sample a compact slice of story-rich terror during your evening, you can now take a brief spin with The Casting of Frank Stone's complimentary teaser.

 The Casting of Frank Stone represents the imminent immersive experience nestled in the Dead by Daylight universe, born from a partnership between horror connoisseurs Supermassive Games and Behaviour Interactive.

This teaser serves as an introductory chapter to the core gameplay experience, situating participants within the confines of Cedar Hills Steel Mill. In the guise of Sam Green, a resolute law enforcement officer, you'll commence your exploration into the rather grim tale of a lost youngster.

I delved into the experience yesterday evening, and the teaser occupied roughly 25 minutes of my time. It allowed me to uncover hidden items, grasp the mechanics of in-game decision-making, and soak up the eerie ambiance as we drift into the cooler months and anticipate the Halloween festivities. I'm contemplating a second run later on to explore alternative paths and observe their impact on the game's conclusion (which remains undisclosed here).

The teaser is available for you to experiment with on Steam right now. Keep in mind, however, that your progress in the teaser will not transfer to the full game once it's available.

In terms of a release date, The Casting of Frank Stone is poised for its debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC soon, with the launch scheduled for 3rd September.
