A Dead by Daylight spinoff dating sim where players romance horror-movie killers, released in 2022 by Behaviour Interactive.

Hooked on You remains quietly profitable at $2.15k/mo residual revenue with a 90% positive rating and 192k lifetime units, sustained almost entirely by Dead by Daylight's 10M+ player base and merchandising incentives. The title has seen zero discounts in 12+ months and zero dev posts in 38 months, yet still generates ~35 reviews/mo, suggesting dormant but genuine fanbase attachment. For a publisher seeking low-risk catalog IP or a studio exploring licensed-property adjacency, this represents a proven niche hit with minimal ongoing costs; revival via DLC (Trickster, Singularity romances repeatedly requested) or a sequel could reactivate the community at modest production spend. Most realistic play: publishing.

Risk: Dead by Daylight IP owned by Behaviour Interactive; any sequel or major expansion requires publisher sign-off and likely revenue-share negotiation.
Risk: Core audience is DBD players seeking cosmetic rewards; standalone appeal remains niche, and genre (dating sim parody) has limited mainstream growth potential.
Risk: Developer studio appears inactive (37+ months since last dev communication); code maintenance and platform compliance may require external support.
