The story of "The Casting of Frank Stone" has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its engaging narrative and connections to the "Dead by Daylight" universe, while others criticize its pacing, convoluted plot, and lack of character development. Fans of the original game appreciate the numerous Easter eggs and lore expansions, but some feel the story is overly reliant on fan service and lacks depth for those unfamiliar with the franchise. Overall, while the game offers a unique storytelling experience with multiple endings, its execution leaves room for improvement, particularly in terms of clarity and pacing.
“Really good storytelling and tells us a lot about how some things with the entity work and the endings are super cool!”
“The story-line is amazing and the feature to see all the different paths you could go down (unlocked after you finish your first play-through) is such a good addition for replaying the game and achievement hunting.”
“The casting of Frank Stone is a unique story with interesting characters, a sometimes bizarre but consistently enjoyable plot, and enough references and ties to the game it is connected to that it feels right at home in DBD's universe.”
“Failed story. I wasted 14 hours playing, but no matter what the choices are, the ending is the same. The cop never tells you what he knows, and throughout the game, you find out he's not from your timeline but never given an answer. Even if they all live, they can't fight back. You learn nothing about the lady that's doing all of this and that ordered Frank Stone to kill. There's just a random portal that is just there with no answers. Overall, a terrible game. I got it on sale for 29 dollars, thank god I did, and I also got the base game which was 10 dollars cheaper.”
“This is the biggest waste of time and money. The story made absolutely no sense with unlikable characters and even worse dialogue.”
“The whole story was so rushed with consistent bugs and freezing cutscenes. The information that you would find on notes and/or crappy dialogue was already figured out with context clues.”

The Casting of Frank Stone is yet another hit from Supermassive Games, delivering an engaging horror story deeply rooted into the lore of Dead of Daylight equally enjoyable by fans of the original game and those with no knowledge of the multiplayer game created by Behaviour Interactive. While its short length and limited gameplay may slightly hinder the experience, the game remains a worthwhile purchase for those who appreciate well-crafted supernatural horror stories.
