Review consensus
The Casting of Frank Stone is an attractive, choice-driven horror adventure that expands Dead by Daylight lore through Supermassive Games’ familiar cinematic formula. Critics generally praised its intertwined timelines, strong atmosphere, gruesome presentation, branching outcomes, and thoughtful references for Dead by Daylight fans. However, the experience is held back by weak scares, uneven pacing, limited gameplay, stiff movement, underdeveloped character writing, and recurring technical problems. Its best moments arrive when QTEs, exploration, and survival systems combine under pressure, but much of the campaign feels more like a polished interactive B-movie than a consistently frightening horror game.
